Buenos Aires – Unlike some Arab countries that have responded to the “Arab Spring” the hardest way and oppressed the uprisings, Morocco has created a space for dialogue in order to undertake reforms, said National News Agency of Argentina, Télam.
“Unlike what have been going on in some Arab countries, where uprisings were silenced through oppression, Alaouite Monarchy created a space for dialogue in order to undertake reforms,” wrote the journalist Horacio Rana in an article on Morocco’s next general elections of November 25.
“Since Morocco’s independence in 1956, King Hassan II, first of all, and his successor, current Monarch Mohammed VI, have opted for building a modern state,” he noted.
He added that “Morocco has a multi-party system which operates with a parliamentary representation.”
With reforms enshrined in the country’s new constitution, which enjoyed a landslide popular approval in the referendum of last July, Moroccan model is further nearing the Europe-style constitutional monarchies, although it still has its own characteristics, he said.
