Still according to our colleagues from Monde, the lack of words from the Moroccan authorities, including government ministers whose services are hard at work, raises questions. A bit as if everyone was hanging on the royal word.
But for now, the head of the country has not spoken. However, as Kader Abderrahim, professor at Science Po Paris and author of Geopolitics of Morocco, (bibliomonde edition), it is a question of “protocole royal”, none of the members of the government will speak before the king. He is the king, “which sets the tempo, and a fortiori, when there is a national tragedy, with national implications”. The functioning of Moroccan institutions means that “power is very centralized”.
Only the director general of national security, Abdellatif Hammouchi, visited Marrakech this Sunday on “king’s instruction”explain our colleagues from Monde. This is his role, as “rampart of the monarchical institution”, explains Kader Abderrahim. And to add, “there is a symbolic dimension, he had to go there to calm any possible emerging anger, listen to the population and show a certain empathy”.
According to some rumors which have not been confirmed, the king might go to Marrakech this Monday.
