“Partner for Democracy status influences our political decisions”, according to the Speaker of Morocco’s House of Councillors
“Our advanced status within the EU and our Partner for Democracy status in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe constantly influence our political decisions and make us take on new responsibilities”, said the Speaker of Morocco’s House of Councillors, Mohamed Cheikh Biadillah.
Speaking in Lisbon at the conference organised by the PACE Political Affairs Committee on “Political changes in the South Mediterranean and the Middle East: the role of representative institutions”, Mr Biadillah emphasised that “it is not by chance that the Kingdom of Morocco was an exception during the Arab Spring, following its own line as it made that historic move with stability and social peace, thanks to a determined, reformist and structuring approach in which the monarchy constantly provided the driving force as the main bringer of change”.
