by time news

Muhammad Ozin, a parliamentarian for the Popular Movement Party, criticized the feasibility of allocating billions to the Ministry of Digital Transition and modernizing the administration under the pretext of demarcating the Tamazight language, while the government itself does not provide a model for that.
He criticized the government’s use of the French language during its meetings, denouncing “the issuance of decisions by some government sectors in the French language, including the Ministry of Agriculture.”
The aforementioned deputy addressed a written question to the prime minister, in which he said, “The continued use of the French language constitutes a provocation to the feeling of Moroccans and their original identity in its diverse unity.”
He stated that the official language, whether Arabic or Amazigh, is not just a means of communication, but rather a manifestation of the state’s sovereignty in its cultural and historical dimension.
He considered the public administration’s continued use of the foreign language as a substitute for the two official languages ​​as an unacceptable violation of this sovereignty in its various dimensions.
And he mentioned a circular issued by the Prime Minister in 2018, obligating members of the government to use the two official languages ​​of the state, in all correspondence between administrations and citizens.
As mentioned by a decision issued by the Administrative Court in Rabat in 2017, according to which administrative decisions drawn up in the French language are considered illegal because they violate the constitution.
He called for revealing the government’s strategy for using the Arabic language and the Amazigh language in various meetings and national councils, including the government council.
He also inquired about the fate of the National Council for Moroccan Languages ​​and Culture.
