Environment and development party set up
A new party, the Environment and Sustainable Development Party (PEDD), has seen the light of day in Morocco last week.
The PEDD elected a secretary general, namely Ahmed Alami, at a constitutive assembly.
The new political organization seeks to "face up the danger of pollution threatening the environment." Its creation comes as a materialization of the hopes of many academics, citizens and ngos, aware of the necessity to work together for the protection of the deteriorating environment," Ahmed Alami told Moroccan first channel, TVM.
The party counts on the harmonized efforts of several associations operating in the field, to create a front for environment protection, he added.
Alami is a former health minister.
