During an appearance on the Moroccan TV program "Enjeux partisans" (رهانات حزبية), Mohamed Nabil Benabdallah, Secretary-General of the Party of Progress and Socialism (PPS), confirmed the party's electoral pledges. The PPS promises to create one million effective jobs over five years and to establish a minimum pension of 3,000 dirhams (approximately $300) for retirees.
Benabdallah detailed that the job creation plan would focus on sectors such as green energy, digital technology, and industry, aiming to reduce unemployment, which currently stands at around 13% according to official figures. The pension pledge is part of a broader social reform agenda, addressing the needs of retirees who often receive less than 2,000 dirhams monthly.
The PPS, a member of the current government coalition, positions these proposals as key pillars of its platform for the upcoming legislative elections. The party emphasizes the need for economic transformation and social justice, with Benabdallah stating that these measures are "realistic and achievable" if the country maintains its growth trajectory.
Political analysts note that such promises are common during election campaigns, but the PPS's specific figures and timeline set a clear benchmark for accountability. The party has not yet detailed the funding mechanisms for these initiatives, but it points to potential public-private partnerships and foreign investment as key sources.
