While most of the “seniors” are busy preparing for their party congresses, young people are signing this year’s political return. The kick-off has just been given from Agadir.
Where have the youths of our parties gone? For obvious reasons, we are only talking regarding the parties represented in Parliament. For others, it’s a different story. In theory, following the return from the holidays, the youth of the parties should mark, in one way or another, the return to politics.
Twenty years ago, still intoxicated by its resounding victory in the legislative elections of November 25, 2011, the PJD organized one of the first major meetings of its youth.

Gathered in Agadir on September 9 and 10, for the first time following the outbreak of the pandemic, for the 4th edition of their summer university, the young people set the tone, not with pompous speeches but with hard work. in the field.
