  • Mustapha Baitas, a prominent member of the National Rally of Independents (RNI) party and government spokesperson, stated the party focuses on continuous work and citizen proximity, not just election timing.
  • He emphasized the RNI's commitment to public interest and delivering on its 2021 electoral promises despite challenging national circumstances like drought and economic crises.
  • Baitas stressed that political competition should be based on clear programs and policies, not short-term gains, and that evaluating government work requires objective discussion of facts and results.

Mustapha Baitas, a key figure in Morocco's National Rally of Independents (RNI) party and the government's official spokesperson, asserted that the RNI prioritizes a political approach centered on sustained effort and close engagement with citizens. He stated the party deliberately avoids the "last-minute" electoral maneuvering, instead focusing on consistent work and program-based action throughout its five-year mandate. Baitas highlighted that the RNI's strategy is built on continuous work and tangible results, which he believes are essential for building public trust.

The National Rally of Independents is not a party that engages in politics with a last-minute logic, but rather an organization that works over five years, and considers that citizens' trust is built through continuous work and results achieved on the ground.

Speaking at a party event in the Aรฏt Baha region, Baitas underscored the RNI's dedication to the public interest, placing it at the core of its political practice. He noted that the party has actively worked with citizens and strived to deliver political action befitting Morocco's democratic experience. Baitas affirmed that the government, in which the RNI is a major partner, has implemented numerous national, regional, and local initiatives. He acknowledged the difficult context, including years of drought and the repercussions of various crises, but insisted that the outcomes of this work are now evident on the ground.

Baitas encouraged citizens to evaluate the efforts and achievements made, stating that the RNI remains committed to its "contract" with the Moroccan people and its foundational political methodology. He argued that democratic engagement should transcend short-term political calculations, advocating for competition based on clear programs, projects, and policies rather than opportunistic gains as elections approach. The government official stressed that evaluating the state's and government's performance requires an objective discussion grounded in facts and results, moving beyond rhetoric suitable only for political consumption.

The democratic choice for the party precedes circumstantial political calculations, and competition between parties should be based on clear programs, projects, and policies, not on attempts to achieve quick political gains as elections approach.

He also commended the dedication of RNI elected officials and activists at local and regional levels, noting their ongoing internal discussions on issues affecting citizens. This dynamic, he explained, reflects a party presence not tied to specific electoral dates but based on continuous communication, listening, and field work. Baitas concluded by reiterating the RNI's commitment to its established approach, emphasizing that its strength lies in organizational cohesion and the ability to collectively advocate for local issues and residents' daily concerns. This method, he believes, will continue to foster trust in political action and promote responsible democratic practices.

Evaluating the work of the state and government and what has been achieved over years of management requires an objective discussion based on facts and results, instead of rhetoric suitable for political consumption that does not contribute to building sound public debate.
