Threatened alliances ...Dissidents block the Brotherhood’s deal with the Moroccan opposition

Saad al-Din al-Othmani, the head of the Moroccan government, fears
that the Justice and Development Party will decline in leadership of the
government before the legislative elections in 2021, in light of the
exacerbation of the internal crises of the party.

The party faces a state of cracking in some municipalities, as
Moroccan press reports mentioned of the resignation of 40 individuals, who are
involved in justice and development, after they decided to join other parties.
The Moroccan website, Hibapress, reported that the members who
submitted their resignations in the party’s branch in Casablanca, made their
decision due to strong internal disputes with its officials, explaining that a
number of members, including collective advisors, decided to put their resignation
from the party to internal disputes described as strong with the party’s
officials and leaders, stressing They will join other parties, led by the
highly popular Independence Party.
According to statements attributed to the former party secretary
general, Abd al-Ilah Benkirane, a group of young people is being investigated
because of some of the posts they published on their personal pages.
Moroccan newspapers reported that a large number of "justice
and development" young men were summoned to appear before a special
committee and subject to interrogation, which included members such as the
party's regional writer in the Citadel of Saragna, a collective advisor to the
party in the city of Temara, and other active faces residing inside and outside
Morocco.

Another reason may be manifested by the youth’s opposition to the
alliances or so-called justice and development deals with other parties, which
they contradict with the vision, as some criticized the Justice and Development
Alliance with originality and contemporary, the largest opposition party, with
the aim of increasing the chances of “Al-Bujaidi” in the elections The upcoming
legislative, considering it a deviation from the constants of the party
affiliated with the current Islam.
The presence of Abdullah Al-Sheikhi, head of the Reform and
Unification Movement, the advocacy arm of the Moroccan Brotherhood, the Kuala
Lumpur summit hosted by Malaysia in mid-December 2019, had an unfortunate
impact regarding the opposition parties ’refusal to attend a gathering that
witnessed an intense Brotherhood presence led by Mahathir Muhammad, the
Malaysian Prime Minister, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and the
Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
Muhammad al-Sheikh, by the hand of God, a member of the Political
Bureau of the Authenticity and Modernity Party, said about the political
doctrine of the Authenticity and Modernity Party that was launched from the
foundation, and based primarily on confronting Islamists: “We wanted to protect
ourselves from the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood on the international
level ... the global trend that He has great means and opinions that are different
from ours, indicating that justice and development are not separated from the
mother group or the international organization of the Brotherhood.
Suleiman Al-Amrani, Deputy Secretary-General of the Justice and
Development Party, refused to link the party to any international organization,
saying: "We will not waste effort and time, nor will we enter into the
wrong battle by denying the relationship of the Justice and Development Party
with the Brotherhood movement, claiming that the party's disengagement from the
group is necessarily known."
Some believe that the statement of "Amrani" comes as a
waste of the party's principles, which is known to extend the group in Morocco,
and that it is one of its branches abroad.
