A new Moroccan political party called the Party of Reform and Development (PRD) was established this week by former members of the liberal National Rally of Independents (RNI) party, reported the official Maghrebe Arab Presse (MAP).
“The party was created after the RNI leadership failed to heed their endeavors to reform the party,” the party chairman, Abdel-Rahman Kohen said.
“We decided to create the PRD after trying to change the RNI from the inside, but we have not been listened to," Kohen, who is also a former cabinet minister, said.
The party will be working to involve large parts of the Moroccan society in politics, craft a set of initiatives to promote public education, develop informational materials, end injustice against women, protect children and mobilize the youth, he added.
