Moroccan youth in social networks discussed their continuing struggle

"We cry victory, but we continue the fight, his words serve to keep young people motivated in their manifestations." Is the reaction of an Internet message sent to Morocco on Wednesday the Alawite ruler Mohamed VI in a speech to the nation in which he announced a reform of the Constitution. Give more prominence to his prime minister as "president of an executive cash" and expanded the functions of Parliament, "giving new powers, enabling it to exercise its functions of representation, legislation and control." With these reforms, Mohamed VI seems to have wanted to respond to the youth of the Movement February 20, battling in the Alawite kingdom to achieve higher levels of democracy and the separation of executive, legislature and judiciary, whose main sponsor is the monarch Mohamed VI, who is credited in the Constitution also considering commander of the faithful as a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad.

"We are at the king's first speech as a true statesman and reformer," he writes in a Moroccan network in a conversation which includes many non-believers and those who continue to opt to keep for 20 this month calling for another great progress in the country. "We have to stop fighting now, not until we get our demands, the king is alone in trying to calm the Moroccans," one of them.

To discuss the reform of the Constitution will have to wait some months. Mohamed VI announced that changes will be studied by a committee chaired Abdelatif Mennouni-constitutional-law expert whose findings will be presented next June for submission after a referendum. The monarch has launched as a slogan to "consecrate the appointment of the Prime Minister presented by the political party which has obtained the best results in elections to the Chamber of Deputies" (now is the monarch who appointed him), and "fully assume responsibility of government and public administration, in addition to direct and implement the government program.

" Justice must be "independent power" will strengthen political parties "in the context of a genuine pluralism" and "constitutionalized the instruments of good governance and human rights." In addition, take into account "the pluralistic nature of the Moroccan identity uniform and rich in the variety of its tributaries, where the language" Amazigh (Berber own regions) occupies a central place.

" The reforms announced by the king has caused surprise in the country, although since the great march of February 20 for democracy had speculated a change of government (the last was in January 2010, when renewed Justice and Home Affairs portfolios among others) or the dismissal of his personal secretary, Mounir Majidi, also in charge of running their finances.

The speech also addressed the proposed regionalization of Mohamed VI to Morocco and intends to start with the Western Sahara, a territory dispute the Alawite kingdom and the Frente Polisario. Work for its implementation was commissioned early last year, former Moroccan ambassador to Spain, Omar Azziman, and results are expected for months.

Tomorrow, the Moroccan authorities have called a press conference to address this issue.
