The European Parliament has uncovered itself as a corrupt establishment stuffed with hypocrites’ intent on outsourcing the blame to scrub themselves even at the price of undermining what was once a privileged partnership with Morocco.
The anti-Morocco resolution- adopted final month and wrongly sugarcoated in press freedom and human rights concerns- is however the symptom of a neo-colonial boastful angle permeated by double requirements and a quest to shine the picture of a legislative establishment affected by more and more low turnout, leaving it prey to corruptible extremist and miniscule European voices.
After three years of being convicted on rape and sexual assault prices, members of the European Parliament held a majority vote to dismiss the case as a freedom of expression trial in a blatant disrespect for the rights of the plaintiffs who suffered abuse by the three journalists the decision defends: Taoufiq Bouachrine, Omar Radi and Soulimane Raisouni.
One of many attorneys of the victims, Aicha Guelaa instructed a convention on the Moroccan parliament there have been many victims filmed whereas abused and blackmailed by Bouachrine.
A specific abhorrent video of Bouachrine sexually abusing a pregnant girl who labored for him was proven at court docket throughout his trial.
The MEP’s logic is flawed and their manipulation by anti-Moroccan circles is starkly evident. The European Parliament already reached a conclusion and was simply in search of details that it couldn’t discover except it politicized or distorted penal code issues right into a freedom of expression situation.
In Algeria, freedom of expression assault is ongoing in full sight of the European Parliament and its acolytes: Human Rights Watch and Amnesty worldwide. However not a single decision was made.
European Parliament gate
Utilizing Morocco as a scapegoat won’t clear the European Parliament whose members are going through judicial investigation on graft.

In a haste to pin the blame on Morocco for its personal MEP’s endemic corruption, the European Parliament turned a blind eye to ethics and set its eyes on condemning Morocco and interfering in its home affairs in a patronizing approach that has nothing to do with the spirit of bilateral partnership.
Previous to issuing its anti-Morocco decision, it refused to take heed to the sufferer of Omar Radi, his colleague Hafsa Boutahar who traveled to Strasbourg to make her voice heard.
The convention on the Moroccan parliament featured a video by Khadijatou Mahmoud, one other rape sufferer of Brahim Ghali. She was additionally denied the best to be heard by the European Parliament.
Stab in Morocco’s again
Leaders of Moroccan parliamentary teams deplored that the decision got here in a collection of assaults on Morocco going so far as organizing and instigating miniscule voices advocating separatism within the Rif.
Moroccan MPs had requested that any situation involving Morocco ought to have been examined by the joint parliamentary group as a substitute of leaping to a plenary, however they mentioned that the sway of hostility to Morocco made it unattainable because the European parliament turns into more and more a launchpad for all anti-Moroccan rhetoric in Europe.
Head of PAM parliamentary group pointed to the activism of French MEP specifically as penholders of the anti-Moroccan decision.
He expressed disappointment to see the European Parliament promote violence towards Moroccans by internet hosting Sultana Khaya who introduces herself as a human rights activists the place in actual fact she is an ardent supporter of the Polisario’s destabilizing acts and has not shied away from taking pictures holding AK47 in Algeria’s Tindouf camps.
The identical Khaya along with one other pro-separatist Aminatou Haidar have been utilizing Moroccan passports unhindered for many years to journey overseas and insult Morocco, mentioned one other convention participant.
