摩洛哥卡萨布兰卡——根据摩洛哥内政部周五公布的最终选举结果,摩洛哥的“ Authenticity and Modernity Party ”(简称 PAM)在该国议会选举中赢得了最多的席位,共获得了众议院 395 个席位中的 97 个。
AKRAM OUBACHIR CASABLANCA, Morocco — Morocco’s Authenticity and Modernity Party won the most seats in the country’s parliamentary election, taking 97 of 395 seats in the House of Representatives, according to final results announced by the Interior Ministry on Friday.
该政党由一位与国王穆罕默德六世关系密切的皇室顾问创立,其法语缩写为 PAM。虽然该党未能获得绝对多数席位,但仍需与其他政党协商以组建执政联盟。
The party, founded by a royal adviser close to King Mohammed VI and known by its French acronym PAM, fell short of an absolute majority and will need to negotiate with other parties to form a governing coalition.
此次选举的背景是:尽管摩洛哥经济繁荣,但年轻人的不满情绪日益加剧(失业率居高不下),同时民众对改善教育、医疗和住房条件有着强烈诉求。
The election was shaped by mounting frustration among young people, high unemployment despite a thriving economy and demands for better schools, hospitals and housing.
这是自去年 7 月发生致命性大规模移民事件以及 Z 世代主导的抗议活动以来的首次全国性选举。
It was the first vote since the deadly mass migration attempts to Ceuta in July and the Gen Z-led protests last year.
下一届政府将负责管理数十亿美元的投资项目,因为摩洛哥正准备共同主办 2030 年世界杯足球赛,因此有人将本届政府称为“世界杯政府”。新执政团队还需应对民众在就业、工资和生活成本等方面的现实问题。
The next government will oversee billions of dollars in investment as Morocco prepares to co-host the 2030 World Cup , prompting some to describe it as the “World Cup government.” The new political leadership will also face pressure to address everyday concerns, including jobs, wages and the cost of living.
尽管该党内部存在严重的毒品和黄金走私丑闻(部分高层成员因此被判入狱),但该党仍成功赢得了比上次选举更多的席位。
The next government will oversee billions of dollars in investment as Morocco prepares to co-host the 2030 World Cup , prompting some to describe it as the “World Cup government.” The new political leadership will also face pressure to address everyday concerns, including jobs, wages and the cost of living.
作为现任执政联盟成员的“ National Rally of Independents ”(简称 RNI )遭遇重大挫折,仅获得了 66 个席位;而温和派伊斯兰政党“ Justice and Development Party ”(简称 PJD )的席位从 2021 年的 13 个激增至 54 个。
Despite a major drug- and gold-trafficking scandal allegedly involving some senior PAM members, several of whom were sentenced to prison, the party weathered the political fallout and won more seats than in the previous election. The National Rally of Independents, or RNI, part of the outgoing governing coalition, suffered major losses, winning 66 seats. The moderate Islamist Justice and Development Party, or PJD, which won just 13 seats in 2021, surged to 54.
PAM 曾表示不会与 RNI 组建联盟,他们很可能会与获得第三名的“ Istiqlal Party ”以及其他席位较少的政党合作,以争取获得多数席位。
PAM has previously said it will not form a coalition with RNI. It is likely to gather with third-place winner Istiqlal and other parties that won fewer seats to obtain a majority.
由于两党之间存在长期的政治竞争,因此与正义与发展党(PJD)结成联盟的可能性微乎其微。人民行动党(PAM)成立于2008年,其创始人是国王的童年好友福阿德·阿里·埃尔·希马(Fouad Ali El Himma)。该党逐渐成为一股重要的政治力量,被视为对长期以来执政的正义与发展党的制衡力量。正义与发展党表示将继续保持反对派地位。
A coalition with the PJD is unlikely due to longstanding political rivalry between the two parties. PAM was founded in 2008 by Fouad Ali El Himma, a childhood friend of the king. The party emerged as a major political force seen as a counterweight to the Justice and Development Party, which previously led the government for a decade.
根据摩洛哥宪法的规定,国王必须从在立法选举中赢得最多席位的政党中任命总理。
The PJD said it would remain in the opposition.
一位可能的总理人选是福齐·拉克贾(Fouzi Lakjaa)——他现任摩洛哥足球联合会的主席,并于最近加入了人民行动党。由于摩洛哥足球运动的近期取得的成就,他的支持率有所上升。现年56岁的拉克贾同时负责管理摩洛哥的财政预算,他是该党的政治局成员,但并非该党的最高领导人。
The Moroccan Constitution requires the king to appoint a prime minister from the party that wins the most seats in legislative elections. One possibility for prime minister is Fouzi Lakjaa, president of Morocco’s soccer federation, who recently joined the PAM party and has been buoyed by Morocco’s recent soccer achievements. Lakjaa, 56, who also oversees Morocco’s budget, is a member of the party’s political bureau but not its top official.
另一位可能的总理人选是法蒂玛-扎赫拉·曼苏里(Fatima-Zahra Mansouri)——她现任马拉喀什市长兼城市规划部部长。如果她当选,她将成为摩洛哥首位女性总理。该党没有明确的单一领导人,而是由一个集体领导团队负责管理,曼苏里担任该团队的协调者。
Fatima-Zahra Mansouri, 50, mayor of Marrakech and minister of urban planning, is another possibility. If selected, she would be Morocco’s first female prime minister. The party has no single leader and is instead run by a collective leadership, with Mansouri serving as its coordinator.
在周三举行的选举中,共有1580万选民中的600万人参与了投票。这是自穆罕默德六世国王27年前登基以来的第六次大选,整体投票率为38%,是自2007年以来最低的投票率。
Six million out of 15.8 millioned voters voted Wednesday in the sixth election since King Mohammed VI ascended to power 27 years ago. Overall participation was 38% — the lowest since 2007.
