2026–2031 manifesto

Comprehensive electoral programme of the Istiqlal Party for the 2026 legislative elections, structured around five strategic pillars: preserving core values and family cohesion, combating corruption and rent-seeking, strengthening purchasing power and middle-class homeownership, bolstering public services under the welfare state model (education, emergency healthcare, youth employment), and securing national strategic sovereignty (water, energy, industrial integration, defense, and maritime logistics).

Key pledges

Law Banning Social Media for Under-15s and Smartphones in Primary SchoolsHard

حماية الطفولة والفضاء الرقمي

Banning smartphones in primary schools is simpler than materially restricting under-15s’ access to social media. The latter depends on reliable age assurance, data-protection-compliant rules and verifiable platform cooperation. It remains demanding over 2026-2031.

Financial Support up to 5,000 MAD for Youth Getting Married and Family Launch GrantPossible

دعم الأسرة والشباب

A 5,000 MAD transfer can be administered within five years, but its real cost depends on beneficiary numbers and, especially, on the unspecified launch grant and savings match. Clear caps, targeting, and explicit annual funding are necessary.

Income Tax Deduction for Children's Schooling ExpensesPossible

الجبايات والقدرة الشرائية للأسرة

Tax law can be amended through a finance law during the term. However, the programme sets no cap, eligible expenses, targeting or cost. The measure can be implemented if it is capped, supported by verifiable receipts and transparently funded.

Flexible and Paid Parental Leave Shareable Between ParentsInsufficient data

الشغل والأسرة

Morocco does not currently have a statutory paid, shareable parental leave comparable to the announced measure. A text could be prepared before 2031, but the promise specifies neither duration, compensation, beneficiaries nor payer. Without those choices, its cost, scale-up and full feasibility cannot be assessed seriously.

Recognition of Addiction as a Reimbursable Chronic Disease and Specialist TrainingHard

الصحة ومكافحة الإدمان

Recognition and reimbursement changes can be started during the term. But the limited addiction-care base and the lack of costed targets make establishing the specialty, training staff, and delivering useful territorial access demanding.

Extension of Addiction Treatment Facilities to 5 Uncovered Regions and Substitution TherapyHard

الصحة ومحاربة الإدمان

Expanding a care pathway to five regions is technically conceivable, but the promise also covers substitution treatment, prisons, women and aftercare. The data show major regional primary-care gaps, while the current scale of substitution treatment is not sufficiently published. Coordination, health teams and medicine supply will be decisive.

Inclusion of Psychological Consultations in Mandatory Health Insurance (AMO)Possible

الحماية الاجتماعية والتأمين الصحي

Adding defined psychological consultations to the AMO basket can be done during the term. Real access will still depend on defined acts, a tariff, provider agreements, quality rules, and a much more available psychology workforce.

Enactment of a Conflict of Interest Law with Clear Incompatibilities and Recusal RulesPossible

النزاهة ومحاربة الفساد

A dedicated law could be enacted and started before 2031 because asset-declaration mechanisms and preparatory work already exist. The decisive difficulty is political and institutional: rules must bind decision-makers, recusals must be traceable, and sanctions must be monitored in practice.

Mandatory Interest Declaration and Enhanced Court of Accounts Oversight Against Illicit EnrichmentHard

الشفافية ومحاربة الإثراء غير المشروع

Morocco already has an asset-declaration system, but the Court reports incomplete lists and limited regularisation after formal notices. Extending it to interests, verifying accuracy and enforcing legal consequences require coherent legislation, regulated data sharing and stronger investigative capacity.

Progressive Corporate Tax Reaching 40% on Monopolistic and Rentier ProfitsPossible

العدالة الجبائية ومحاربة الريع

A 40% rate on specified profits can be decided through a Finance Act before 2031, since a 40% rate already exists for part of the financial sector. The difficulty is objectively defining monopoly or rent profits, handling disputes, and avoiding an arbitrary or easily circumvented rule.

Enforcement of the 'Silence Means Approval' Rule with Immediate Electronic ReceiptPossible

تبسيط المساطر ومناخ الأعمال

The rule, deadlines, and filing receipt already exist in Moroccan law. More consistent enforcement with an immediate electronic receipt can be delivered if covered-act lists, IT systems, and deadline monitoring are genuinely rolled out.

Mandatory Institutional Response to Audit Bodies and Legal Whistleblower ProtectionPossible

الحكامة ومحاربة الفساد

Tracking tools and procedural protection already exist, but they do not clearly prevent workplace retaliation. Stronger protection law and public response deadlines can be put in place within five years if a political majority adopts them.

Creation of Regional Food Procurement, Storage, and Distribution CompaniesHard

القدرة الشرائية وضبط الأسعار

Creating regional operators that buy, store, and distribute while modernizing markets requires coordination among the State, regions, and municipalities, cold-chain funding, and competition safeguards. A five-year timetable is demanding, particularly without a published scope or budget.

Gradual Increase of Minimum Wages and Pensions with Periodic Inflation AdjustmentsHard

الأجور والمعاشات

Further gradual minimum-wage increases can be negotiated and enacted. The pension component is more demanding: schemes monitored by ACAPS already had an aggregate technical deficit in 2024. Durable inflation adjustments and harmonised rules require social agreement, actuarial projections and explicit funding.

Launch of a 'Social Contract to Exit Poverty' with a Unified Family CardHard

محاربة الفقر والهشاشة

Transfers, the RSU, and ANSS provide a real starting base. But converting them into conditional contracts with one family card, reliable data exchange, and field support for millions of households requires a very large administrative and staffing expansion.

Mobilization of Public Land for Affordable Housing with Capped PricesPossible

السكن والعقار

Making public land available under contracts that control price, quality, and deadlines is feasible within five years. But no home count, price cap, or buildable land stock is specified; the practical effect will depend on those choices and contract enforcement.

National Affordable Rental Housing Policy and Lease-to-Own SchemesInsufficient data

السكن والإيجار

The lease-to-own framework exists, but the proposal specifies neither rental supply, rents, beneficiaries, guarantee capital, nor budget. Those details are necessary to assess its real reach by 2031.

Dedicated Rural Urbanism Law and Direct Housing Aid for Rural Self-ConstructionInsufficient data

التعمير والعالم القروي

A rural law, one-stop desks, and technical assistance can be initiated within five years. But the national map of uncovered douars, regularization backlog, land constraints, and self-build cost are missing. Those unknowns prevent a sound assessment of completing the promised coverage before 2031.

Rehabilitation of 100% of Targeted Rural Schools, Internet Connection, and Rural Teaching AllowanceInsufficient data

التعليم والإنصاف المجالي

Available public data confirm major rural needs, but do not define targeted schools, their condition, the rehabilitation standard, ring-fenced funding, or the rural-allowance cost. Full completion before 2031 therefore cannot be robustly assessed.

Universal and Free Preschool Education for Children Aged 4 to 6Possible

التعليم الأولي والطفولة

With 85% coverage for ages 4-5 and an existing public target before 2031, generalisation is realistic. It still depends on genuinely free provision, available educators, and comparable quality in rural and urban areas.

Creation of the National Emergency Agency and Training of 2,000 Emergency Doctors by 2031Hard

الصحة والمستعجلات الطبية

Creating an agency and passing legislation remain feasible during the term. The critical issue is training 2,000 emergency doctors while generalising triage before the end of 2028. The required pace is far above the historical record and demands exceptional instructors, clinical placements, posts, funding and national monitoring.

Implementing Decree for the Mandatory Referring Doctor as the Sole Healthcare GatewayHard

المنظومة الصحية ومسار العلاج

The care-pathway principle is already in law and a decree can set its rules. But making a referring doctor the effective gateway everywhere requires patient enrolment, available general practitioners, clear clinical exceptions, digital tools, and coordination with compulsory insurance and private providers.

'Tajribati' Programme Guaranteeing a Paid First Work Experience (6 to 18 Months)Hard

تشغيل الشباب وحاملي الشهادات

Even counting only public-university graduates, the scheme requires tens of thousands of paid, socially covered, supervised places every year. It can be designed, but a guarantee for everyone depends on funding and employer commitments far beyond demonstrated capacity.

'Afaq' Programme: Guaranteeing No Youth Stays Without Education, Training, or Work Over 6 MonthsNot achievable

تشغيل الشباب ومعالجة وضعية غير المتمدرسين والعاطلين

A universal six-month guarantee would need to address an initial stock far beyond known training capacity while also creating jobs, support, or paid civic-service offers. Without an exceptional, costed expansion, delivery within five years is very unlikely.

Training and Qualifying 100,000 Youth in Digital Careers and Freelance Remote WorkHard

الاقتصاد الرقمي والعمل عن بعد

Training 20,000 young people a year fits the broad scale of national training capacity, but securing quality digital provision, credible certification, and real support into global markets requires a targeted, funded expansion.

Framework Law on Strategic Reserves: Fuels up to 90 Days, Grains 4 Months, Medicines 6 MonthsInsufficient data

السيادة الاستراتيجية والمخزون الاحتياطي

Passing a framework law is conceivable. But physical inventories, usable capacity, and costs are not published well enough to test all fuel, grain, medicine, and vaccine targets over five years.

Mandating Renewables for Desalination and Tripling Wastewater Reuse by 2031Hard

السيادة المائية والطاقية

Tripling reuse starts from a real existing base, but requires roughly 21 million additional m³ each year. Transfer networks, implementing rules, offtake contracts, and coordination must progress very quickly alongside the other desalination and irrigation commitments.

Minimum 50% Local Content Requirement in Public Energy Projects by 2031Insufficient data

السيادة الطاقية والتصنيع المحلي

Morocco is pursuing industrial integration in renewable energy, but no verified public baseline currently reports local content achieved in public energy projects. Without a calculation method, starting level, covered procurements and the cost of grid guarantees, the effort required to reach 50% by 2031 cannot be assessed robustly.

30% Minimum Weighting for 'Value Made in Morocco' and Offset for Procurements Over 1B MADHard

الصفقات العمومية والسيادة الصناعية

The present framework already includes national preference and possible offsets. Turning them into 30% obligations for local value and very large contracts is legally and technically demanding: it needs auditable measurement rules, real oversight, and compatibility with Morocco’s international commitments.

Creation of a National Merchant Shipping Company Carrying at Least 30% of Strategic Imports by 2031Hard

الملاحة التجارية والسيادة اللوجستية

Creating a company and chartering vessels is feasible. Reaching 30% of strategic imports by 2031 is harder because the national flag starts from a very low or zero presence in key segments. Freight contracts, suitable vessels, crews, insurance and finance would need to be secured quickly.
