Speaking during a conference-debate organised by the USFP section in Maârif Derb Ghellaf on 13 April in Casablanca, under the theme "What future for the Moroccan left?", the member of the USFP Political Bureau indicated that this charter will be a response to all attempts aimed at legitimising the democratic regression led by certain conservative forces. Better still, it will be a framework for work allowing for new initiatives to be taken on the constitutional, political, economic and social levels.

For Habib El Malki, the left today has a historical mission, entirely different from that led in the past, because the world has evolved a lot since then. "Today, Moroccan society is living to the rhythm of new social and political changes that challenge us to invent new concepts and new approaches to better identify and understand what is happening," he stressed.

But does the left need a new charter? "Yes," replied the speaker. According to him, the electoral deadlines scheduled for the current year can constitute an important opportunity to start the debate between the forces of the left on the actions to be taken and on the common positions to be adopted.

Habib El Malki believes that the celebration of 1 May could also be an opportunity for the left to rethink its relations with the trade union movement as well as with social protest movements.

However, Mr. El Malki was keen to specify that the overhaul of the left requires establishing relationships of trust between its components, and in this context, he was keen to recall: "The USFP does not have a paternalistic or dominating inclination. We are all on an equal footing. Our strengths and weaknesses are shared".

The same assessment from Abdeslam Al Aziz, Secretary General of the PGNI, who also calls for the creation of a left-wing pole. According to him, the future is within the reach of the left, provided that its forces are skilled at putting in place an alternative societal project capable of unifying all the partisan, trade union and associative components of this left. But to achieve this, the speaker thinks that a lot of modesty is needed from everyone and a questioning of certain behaviours and political positions.

The Secretary General of the PGNI believes that the left-wing front project must integrate economic and social issues, notably the equitable distribution of wealth and the implementation of a solidarity economy.

Nabila Mounib, Secretary General of the PSU, also seems to be on the same wavelength as El Malki and Al Aziz. She calls for the creation of a new left-wing front to lead the democratic struggle.

But she thinks that the left needs a new lease of life and a new philosophy. "The left can establish itself as an alternative, especially in a context of crisis that we are currently experiencing. But it must hold to its principles and distinguish itself from the politics of the accomplished fact," she concluded before giving the floor to Ahmed Zaki, member of the PPS Political Bureau. The latter estimated that the forces of the left need today to establish a real democratic culture and to adopt dialogue as a means of debate.

Democratic culture, according to him, has long been lacking among left-wing parties, which has weakened their possibilities for rapprochement.
