Storm Brewing: Internal Conflict Rocks Morocco’s PAM Party as Abu El Ghali Threatens Legal Action
The Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), a prominent political force in Morocco, is facing internal turmoil as a war of words escalates between party leadership and Salah Eddine Abu El Ghali, a member of the party’s collective leadership. This conflict, marked by a series of public statements and counter-statements, has brought to light deep divisions within the party and raises questions about its future direction.
The controversy ignited when Abu El Ghali had his membership suspended. In response, he issued a detailed statement on September 11th, 2024, directly addressing the party’s official statement and a press conference held by four party leaders. Abu El Ghali’s statement not only refuted the allegations leveled against him but also revealed new details surrounding his suspension, which he claims was unjustified and procedurally flawed.
Adding fuel to the fire, Abu El Ghali has threatened legal action against certain party leaders, accusing them of making defamatory remarks. This escalation signifies the severity of the conflict and the breakdown in communication within the PAM.
The ongoing dispute within the PAM mirrors a larger trend of internal divisions within Moroccan political parties. These divisions often stem from disagreements over party strategy, leadership roles, and ideological stances. Such internal struggles can have significant implications for the parties involved, potentially impacting their ability to effectively participate in the democratic process and address the needs of their constituents.
The outcome of this conflict remains uncertain. Will the PAM be able to resolve its internal differences and present a united front? Or will this conflict lead to further fragmentation within the party? Only time will tell how this internal struggle will impact the future of the PAM and its role in Moroccan politics.
