King Mohammed VI reiterated his call for the elaboration of a new development model conducive to achieving social justice and addressing the problem of social and inter-regional disparities. In a message to the third parliamentary forum on social justice, which opened Monday in Rabat, under the theme “The challenges of social and spatial justice and the components of the new development model,” the Moroccan monarch highlighted the need to rethink Morocco’s development model in order to overcome obstacles hindering its development and address weaknesses and gaps revealed by past experience. “I firmly believe that the success of any vision hinges upon a change in mentalities. The third pillar consists in reforming public administration to discharge its mission properly in terms of serving the citizen and promoting investments and spurring the development of regions, underscored the King. The Monarch noted that achieving social justice requires addressing an array of challenges including social and inter-regional disparities and the link with the constraints weighing on the management of tax and social security systems.
