Great popular support for the 25th anniversary of Mohammed VI
Despite the strong heat in the city of Tetouan, thousands of Moroccans gathered in the streets to show their support and recognition to the work done during these 25 years by Mohammed VI, which has meant a deep and positive transformation of the country with a remarkable political and social development and modernization in all areas of the population and economic and commercial in all sectors.
The impulse of the king and his entourage during these 25 years has meant an increase in mobility and connectivity in Morocco with the expansion of the network of highways and freeways, airports in major cities, the construction of major ports such as Tangier Med and the high-speed train Tangier-Rabat-Casablanca, which has been a revolution and will be extended to Marrakech and Agadir.
The commitment to industrialization with the Renault factory as an emblem, agri-food, textiles, renewable energies, tourism, vocational training, universities and sports are some of the sectors that have evolved favorably, increasing economic activity and job creation.
The change in the production model promoted by the King to tackle one of Morocco's most important problems, inequality, is bearing fruit, although serious difficulties have to be overcome, such as the covid pandemic and now the drought.
Speech by the King
Precisely, Mohammed VI's speech to commemorate its 25th anniversary highlighted the achievements made, both internally and internationally, but then focused almost exclusively on calling for the fulfillment of plans to deal with drought, improve water treatment and carry out the construction of the necessary desalination plants in different regions.
The speech had in the support to the Palestinians its second axis to assure that Morocco's aid to Gaza will be maintained through the new channel of supply of humanitarian aid that opened with the king as president of the Al Qods committee and to claim a solution to the conflict with a single Palestine with the extremists away.
The celebrations took place in compliance with the manifestation of loyalty and support of all political, military, religious, economic, social, cultural and regional and local to the King.
