Moroccan Election Tensions Rise as PJD Attacks RNI Leader on Social Media

The electronic militias of the PJD Islamists are in a state of maximum attack against the RNI leader and his main figures. Their arsenal includes no less than five accounts on social networks that have distinguished themselves in the last five days as platforms of invectives against the RNI, reports Al Akhbar, indicating that the PJD’s Facebook pages are flooded with "montages" of videos of citizens who are not at all tender towards the "Joud" Foundation for Development.

More than five years old, the foundation is curiously accused of electoralism, observes the daily Al Akhbar, adding that all the pages belonging to the PJD are participating in this campaign that does not spare the dove party at all. Any anti-RNI discourse is welcome, like the very recent one of Abdellatif Ouahbi, SG of the PAM, who wants to position himself as a potential future ally of the Islamists, with the dream of forming a possible government after the next consultations.

It is through the same channel, that is to say a video published on his Facebook page, that the president of the RNI replied to his detractors from the PAM and the PJD: "... For some time now, we have been the target of many attacks from certain individuals, through fake news and false accusations. But I want to emphasize that it is the Foundation that is paying the price today. Yet, it is a private foundation that I have the honor of having created and developed with many contributors. All in the utmost discretion since I have never spoken about what we do within Joud. But between the attempts to sow doubt around its project and the campaigns to denigrate its initiatives, the Foundation is now the perfect pretext for our detractors to attack us," he lashed out.

This is just a foretaste of the cross-fire campaign between the political formations, which, as the elections of autumn 2021 approach, will not be making any gifts to each other, concludes the newspaper.
