During a House of Representatives session, MP Khadija Ziani of the Constitutional Union group criticized the alarming rise of illegal immigration in northern Morocco, directly linking it to high youth unemployment rates. She urged the government to take urgent and practical measures to combat this "painful" phenomenon by creating real job opportunities that preserve the dignity of Moroccan youth and protect them from "death boats" and harsh economic conditions.
Mr. Bengacem Msaïf, representing the Constitutional Union (UC), was elected this morning as President of the Dar El Asslouji Communal Council in Sidi Kacem Province (Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region). He succeeds Mr. Ahmed El Khemiri following a judicial dismissal.
Mohamed Nasser, MP for the Constitutional Rally group, renewed his urgent demand for Health Minister Anas Doukkali to expedite the construction of a new provincial hospital in Taourirt. Describing the current facility's condition as "disastrous" due to severe shortages in medical equipment and human resources, Nasser strongly criticized the project's unjustified delay since 2012 despite the availability of land. He attributed this to a lack of political will and a disregard for public health, warning that continued marginalization could trigger local protests.
Othman El Ferdaous concluded by reiterating that advancing Morocco's development model requires continuous investment in young national talents across all sectors—an objective actively supported by the Master Class initiative.
Facilitated by Hamza El Rouijae during the 6th "Master Class" edition hosted by the UC in partnership with the NDI, this workshop examined youth leadership and political communication. Addressing political disengagement—where only 1% of youth are party-affiliated despite high digital activity—5 working groups analyzed core leadership traits like charisma, public speaking, and critical analysis. The session highlighted royal directives on political party support and the vital role of NDI-partnered training in empowering young leaders.
In partnership with the NDI since early 2018, the Constitutional Union (UC) party hosts the 6th edition of its "Master Class" leadership series on Saturday, October 27, at the Ibis Hotel in Casablanca. The session features two core pillars: "The Development Model," led by Othman El Ferdaous (Secretary of State for Investment), and "Strengthening Communication Mechanisms for Youth," facilitated by program alumnus Hamza El Rouijae. This edition builds on prior achievements, including the youth policy manifesto "50 Measures for a Possible Morocco" and capacity-building workshops on analyzing the 2019 Finance Bill.

As reported by Rissalat Al Oumma, Abdallah El Ferdaous, Director of the Constitutional Union (UC) party, opened the 5th "Master Class" session by commending the high attendance and rapid progression of the program. Key highlights from his opening address include: Relevance of the Topic & Fiscal Deficit: He praised the selection of the "2019 Finance Bill" as timely, pointing out a major funding shortfall of nearly 30 billion MAD that coalition parties are attempting to address through budget amendments to maintain fiscal balance. Historical Continuity: He noted that the "Master Class" is a direct continuation of the party's historical training initiatives—previously known as "Governance Thursday" and "Constitutional Thursday"—designed to empower youth and local council presidents. Party Leadership Support: He reaffirmed the party administration's full commitment to providing resources, guidance, and support for young members and participants.
