The Secretary-General of the Democratic Forces Front party, Mustapha Benali, has criticized the Moroccan government’s handling of recent events concerning the occupied territories of Ceuta and Melilla. Benali argues that the government’s lack of communication and media engagement is fueling rumors and exaggerating public reactions. He believes this silence provides space for the spread of misinformation and inflated figures regarding the situation. Despite these concerns, Benali expressed confidence in the ability of Moroccan institutions to protect the nation’s sovereignty. He emphasized there is no reason to fear for the security of national institutions. The criticism highlights a perceived failure in government transparency during a sensitive period. This statement was made during a recent address by Benali.
