Morocco’s ruling parliamentary majority is initiating contact with opposition parties to establish a joint committee investigating subsidies related to sheep imports, a case widely known as the “Farakchia affair.” Representatives from the Authenticity and Modernity Party and the Independence Party have reportedly agreed to the initiative. The move involves a formal communication to all parliamentary groups expressing willingness to convene a meeting for coordination. The proposed committee aims to fact-find regarding the financial support provided for livestock importation. This signals a potential shift towards cross-party cooperation on the issue. The inquiry’s focus is specifically on the controversial subsidies granted for sheep imports, prompting scrutiny and calls for transparency. The initiative aims to address public concerns surrounding the allocation of funds in this sector.
