nomad parliament

I am at loggerheads with a laissez-faire treatment of social problems, which contend that insulating what is happening in the street from government's program and let sustaining a assailant social crisis be corrected, from time to time, only by the king and permit the government and the regulators set on their hands and don’t interfere with the correcting mechanism.

What started on streets 20 February 2011 reveals that a minor imbalance can grow to a much bigger one that threatens to engulf not only the market but also Moroccan stability; we are on the verge of new winds.  Problems have run much deeper in the recent years, but we are unwilling to face them.

Risks of breakdown are increased because our understanding of how social needs operate is fundamentally flawed. Social needs in Morocco rest on the misleading concept of the no-huge-pressing-amounts of demands. No apparent demands were, and still, elusive, and it is only by accident that the actual course of events corresponds to the prevailing reality of needs; government, if it is willing to acknowledge it ,cannot leave to correct each time its mistakes when the manifestations happen, because it is likely to overreact and behaves in an indiscriminate manner. 

Governments could recognize easily now that they are shooting at a moving target rather than sedentary one, it suffice, for this, to see that Mohamed Bouazizi was a nomad! Moroccans need a nomad parliament that strives to correct society deficiencies: a non-closed government.

It is perhaps time for each side to respect the other’s position and to find common ground. I believe it is enough to agree, in the second round of manifestation on the common interests, to reshuffle partially the ministerial cabinet; the market will be smoothly hurt and it will provide a systemic solution without conditionality.
