Discussion on 'Diaspora Representation': El Wardy calls for activating constitutional provisions

Political analyst Abbas El Wardy has called for the activation of constitutional provisions concerning the political participation of Moroccans residing abroad. El Wardy, a public law professor at Mohammed V University in Rabat, stressed that the kingdom's constitution unequivocally affirms the rights of the Moroccan diaspora.

He argued that the issue of political participation transcends simply assigning blame to a single institution. Instead, El Wardy described it as a collective responsibility that must be shared between the state and the expatriate community. This perspective highlights the need for a collaborative approach to ensure the effective engagement of Moroccans living overseas in the political sphere.

The discussion arises amid ongoing debates about how to best facilitate and enhance the political representation of Moroccans living outside the country. El Wardy's remarks underscore the legal framework already in place, suggesting that the focus should shift towards practical implementation and shared accountability.
