He called for keeping employment issues away from political outbidding and warned against the low participation of women in the workforce despite their academic excellence, describing it as "economic suicide" and proposing childcare solutions to support them. He also anticipated an economic revival in the region with the upcoming "Nador West Med" port, firmly rejecting the colonial concept of a "useless Morocco."
