On May 9, 2026, the Alliance of Istiqlal Economists (AEI) held a conference at the Water Museum in Marrakech, Morocco, focusing on territorial justice. Nizar Baraka, Secretary General of the Istiqlal Party, emphasized the importance of water as a foundation for life and called for territorial justice to be a state doctrine.
Baraka highlighted the need for equitable distribution of resources and development across Morocco's regions. The event was attended by economists, politicians, and civil society members, who discussed strategies to reduce regional disparities.
The choice of the Water Museum was symbolic, as water scarcity is a pressing issue in Morocco. Baraka linked territorial justice to sustainable water management, urging policies that ensure fair access for all citizens.
This initiative aligns with Morocco's ongoing decentralization efforts, aiming to empower local governments and promote balanced regional development. The AEI plans to continue these discussions in future forums.
