Member of Parliament Abdelhaq Mhadab affirmed that, contrary to rumors circulating in some circles regarding the withdrawal of the project to establish a local hospital in Sidi Smail, El Jadida province, the project still exists but remains stuck on the shelves of the Ministry of Health.
MP Mhadab added that, as part of his parliamentary duties, he had previously submitted an oral question in Parliament to accelerate the realization of the project. The goal is to universalize the right to medical care and treatment for all citizens, especially the rural population, given the major importance of the Sidi Smail circle within the El Jadida province, which has a population exceeding 100,000 inhabitants across several rural territorial communes.
The MP reiterated his call to all stakeholders for more positive cooperation and joined efforts in service of the public interest and the priority issues of citizens. He noted that the partnership agreement already exists and dates back to 2014, and the land plot has been allocated for the project's construction. This hospital will help alleviate the burden on the Mohammed V Provincial Hospital in El Jadida, MP Abdelhaq Mhadab concluded.
Prime Minister-designate Fatima-Zahra Mansouri met with Mohamed Joudar, Secretary-General of the Constitutional Union Party, as part of consultations to form Morocco’s new government. Discussions focused on employment, purchasing power, education, healthcare, social and territorial justice, and preparations for the 2030 World Cup.
Mohamed Joudar, Secretary-General of the Constitutional Union, urged voters to turn out in large numbers to strengthen Moroccan democracy and shape the Kingdom's legislative and executive direction for the next five years. Speaking after casting his ballot in Casablanca, he highlighted key priorities for the upcoming government—including healthcare, education, purchasing power protection, and preparations for the 2030 World Cup—noting the party's participation with 74 local and 12 regional electoral lists.
On September 7 in Casablanca, the Constitutional Union (UC) launched its platform for the 2026 legislative elections, prioritizing job creation, purchasing power, and productive growth under the commitment "A Productive Economy, More Job Opportunities, and Stronger Purchasing Power." Key Challenges Addressed: Secretary-General Mohamed Joudar highlighted that ~2.9 million Moroccan youth are currently not in employment, education, or training (NEETs), alongside inflation pressures and market intermediaries driving up living costs. Core Proposals: Align vocational training with market demands and support first-job access for youth. Improve the business climate, expand financing for SMEs/startups, and combat monopolies and rent-seeking. Strengthen market competition and supply chain transparency to curb inflation rather than relying solely on temporary price fixes. Combine private initiative with strategic state oversight to ensure growth benefits all social classes and regions.
