Supporters of En Marche in Casablanca oppose the candidate invested by the movement in the 9th district of French from abroad
Presented by the Moroccan press as a candidate pro polisario aligned with the positions of Algiers, the current senator of Paris decided to react. According to his entourage, these attacks come from M’jid El Guerrab, unhappy candidate for the investiture of En marche and its supporters in Casablanca. “At the end of a consultation meeting, the Comité En Marche! Casablanca unanimously voted the rejection of Leila Aïchi’s cleavage candidate, “the Moroccan branch of the movement said in a statement. This committee always supports M’jid El Guerrab.
“I am accused of having sponsored a Symposium in the Senate on human rights in the Sahara,” explains Leila Aïchi. But I am not a pro polisario. I support the search for a just, lasting and mutually agreed solution under the aegis of the United Nations “. In a statement made public, the candidate says she has no relationship of subjection to a foreign power to clear the attacks on her alleged bias for Algeria from where her family originates. “I have never had any inappropriate words against Morocco, its people and the person of the king,” she said.
Leila Aïchi contacted the Moroccan authorities to reassure them of this controversy and explain the meaning of her candidacy. She has also mobilized political personalities close to the Palace and will soon be campaigning in the kingdom where it intends to rally the militants of En marche. Franco-Moroccan M’jid El Guerrab, head of the press service of the Caisse des Dépôts Group in France, last Friday before the closing of the investitures, was an independent candidate in the 9th district after failing to obtain the ‘Macronist investiture. “This is the battle of a desperate candidate who uses all his Franco-Moroccan networks to harm me, attack Leila Aichi. He wants to take the Franco-Moroccan relationship as a hostage so that I withdraw my candidacy. But I will not give up. ” The first round of the legislative elections will take place on Sunday 11 June.
