00:00Morocco's ruling coalition has dominated parliamentary elections.
00:04The Authenticity and Modernity Party, or PAM,
00:07emerged as the largest party with 97 seats in the 395-member House of Representatives.
00:14The result put PAM at the center of discussions over Morocco's next government.
00:20But for the party, questions about alliances will have to wait.
00:26This issue has not been discussed.
00:30As political parties, we are waiting for the results
00:32and will only turn to alliances after our king, may God protect him,
00:38has appointed the head of the next government, whether a man or a woman.
00:42The election also comes at a sensitive moment
00:45in Morocco's relationship with neighboring Spain.
00:48They are our children, and we have to work with the Spanish government
00:52to bring our children back to their homeland.
00:54This is what created a difference between us and them.
00:58But let's not forget that we had an election campaign,
01:02and that they had won as well.
01:04So I am very optimistic about the relationship between Morocco and Spain.
01:12With PAM now the largest party in parliament,
01:15the next step would be the formation of a new government.
01:18But with turnout falling to its lowest level in years,
01:21the new administration will also face the challenge
01:23of rebuilding political engagement
01:25and responding to voters' concerns over jobs,
01:28public services and living costs.
