The alliance of the left:he Alliance of the Left, comprising the Federation of the Democratic Left Party (FGD) and the Unified Socialist Party (PSU), is taking part in the September 23 legislative elections with a platform centered primarily on social justice and the establishment of a productive, sovereign economy.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, the Alliance advocates an institutional contract linking responsibility to accountability, alongside stronger measures to combat corruption and illicit enrichment. On the social front, it calls for reducing unemployment, strengthening trade union rights, and avoiding a market-driven approach to essential public services, including education, healthcare, housing, and employment.

Economically, the Alliance proposes a radical transition toward a “production and national sovereignty economy,” aimed at breaking with rent-seeking policies and monopolies. It has also put forward a “Sovereign Financing Pact” designed to mobilize MAD 162 billion annually by 2031
to support the implementation of its economic and social commitments.

PSU Secretary General Jamal Laasri described to MAP the platform as a “political contract” with citizens, stressing that its implementation requires deep reforms. He highlighted proposals including food and energy sovereignty, greater support for rural areas, the development of national industry, and a stronger focus on food-producing agriculture.

On social protection, Laasri said the Alliance puts forward VAT exemptions on basic necessities and medicines, raising the minimum wage to MAD 5,000, a MAD 5,000 birth grant, financial assistance for elderly people and widows, and a MAD 2,000 allowance for job-seeking graduates. The program also includes full coverage of chronic diseases and 100,000 public housing units with rents adapted to household incomes.

For his part, FGD Secretary General Abdeslam El Aziz said the elections come amid major economic, social, climate, and technological challenges. He called for institutional and political
reform and said the Alliance’s campaign focuses on direct engagement with voters through door-to-door outreach and targeted social media use, while giving greater prominence to women and young people.
