The scenes of this handover reveal that Fatima Zahraa Mansouri, who built a large part of her popular and political capital during the last term from within the Ministry of National Territorial Preparation and Housing (especially through the launch of the direct housing support program of 7 and 10 million centimes and the simplification of urbanization procedures in the rural world), chose to place this portfolio in the hands of a Pami duo whose technical and political competence she trusts: the academic and engineer Samir Belfkih, and the former mayor of the city of Al Hoceima, Fatima Al Saadi.

“The most difficult test for Samir Belfkih is nothing but construction and housing. Rather, the microphone is on every Thursday in the government council. Moroccans and journalists are comparing every word he says with Paytas’s style, and they will no longer accept the language of wood!”

From the university terraces to facing journalists’ questions every Thursday

Behind the scenes of handing over the duties of the official spokesman for the government and relations with Parliament (which was assumed by the Minister DelegateQaloub Fiteh), a major communication challenge emerges before the new government: How will Samir Belfkih succeed in providing accurate and convincing digital answers to Moroccan public opinion about prices, work, and major projects without falling into the communication lapses that cost former ministers dearly?
