Abdellah Al Haloui for a New Political Party[/caption] Sunday, October 18, 2015 – 18:00 After a year to establish a new party in Morocco established, is the “New Democrats”, orientations in recent times, a number of events on the preparation of the establishment of an Amazigh (Berber) party project called “Identity and Innovation” or “Tamakit Dosnoulfo” Amazigh language, which is betting Mahdharon anniversary to “complete the picture of the multi-Moroccan identity”, especially with regard to Amazigh language and culture. Abdullah Al Haloui, the most prominent promoters of the project party, which he choose the “Fingerprint” as an emblem to his new Party, talking, in the next dialog with a journalist, for reference and objectives of the “Identity and Innovation Party”, which stresses that the party project also is betting on what it says and documents “Convert Morocco to African Hong Kong in the shortest possible time “, in reference to the scientific and technological development is hoped, as he put it. Journalist, What are the causes of subjective and objective which pushed you to establish aa Amazigh party ? Abdullah Al Haloui, Allow me to clarify the importance of the “Identity and Innovation” party, which strive now to its foundation, it is not an Amazigh party and not a party with an Amazigh reference, as you just mentioned, it is a civil party seeks to achieve two objectives that constitute what we might call the “Moroccan Dream”; with the analogy of the “American dream”, and the priorities are: that features the completion of the multi-cultural identity of Morocco endorsed by the Constitution of 2011, and to achieve socio economic take-off quickly and effectively. It also seeks to achieve the first priority so to speak, activating the identity requirements of the Moroccan Constitution, which neglected the Moroccan political elite for one reason or another, and these requirements: Activating the demarcation of the Tamazight language as a shared asset for all Moroccans without exception. We seek to achieve the development the second priority- if you will inject a strong dose of innovative culture within the educational system and in the areas of wealth creation. the Identity and Innovation Party, then, came to answer a question posed in the context of post-colonialism and did not exit the intellectual elite and political work, in our view, in the answer. The question is: Who are we? And where we want to be heading? Journalist, Why choose this name and symbol “Fingerprint”? Abdullah Al Haloui, The chosen name of “Identity and Innovation” to refer to targets: “Two Priorities” and “development” which I have referred. Was chosen as a temporary “Fingerprint” symbol, because the “Fingerprint ” the best expression of the meanings of originality, excellence and integrity, which is the meanings that confirm the party of reference, cultural and civilizational unity of identity of North of Africa and distinguishes it from all cultural expressions that defined the history of the ancient and modern world. Journalist, Why choose this particular time to initiate the establishment of your party? Abdullah Al Haloui, It was decided this time, after a long wait and after last regional elections, for an important reason, which is that we waited out that the “State” is satisfied that the stability of the country not only for constitutional reform and the consolidation of the democratic traditions of the needs, and push forward the development of the enactment of reducing poverty and vulnerability actions, but also needs for “another party” which has a strong moral for its legality and its ability to achieve the legitimacy of “achievement” in a short time. We do not want to be just a number of political figures must be added to other numbers, but strive to be a real safety to protect Morocco of vibrations that may occur if it has the political momentum rotation for one reason or another. We reject all political ego, but we are certain that our identity speech and the importance of our positions and strive to achieve the legitimacy of achievement, will, if God willing, in the creation of rotational balance that is not made in the political kitchen, but result from competition powerful parties have made little or Many of the legality of achievement. Journalist, What the party will add to the Moroccan political scene? Abdullah Al Haloui, Identity and Innovation Party will add to the political scene is not considered a strong record voter will achieve in the future, including, but refers to what we achieved before. Political work for us is not everything, it is just a part of a more comprehensive picture. We are working through our organizations in parallel to achieve the vision of development through which we want to contribute to Morocco’s high-tech industry (High-tech society) on the horizon of 2025. To create a development model transforms Morocco to “Hong Kong” African in a relatively short time. We will contribute to this vision and practice both in the decision-making circle or in civil society. In this sense, the add-on that will come by the party political scene is the idea of ​​the party that seriously and procedural thinking in the advancement of the country, and works for it before the exercise of power. Journalist, Do not you fear that your party is seen as a threat to the social and cultural fusion and “ethnic and linguistic” that Morocco has known historically? And what is your response to those who say that the party warns of clash of “ethnic – sectarian” as is the case in a number of countries? Abdullah Al Haloui, I am not aware of the existence of anyone who has this fear. If this fear is found it is not justified at all. Intellectual our reference consists of four components, among which may be decided by the Moroccan Constitution of pluralism and linguistic Moroccan identity. Our focus is not on the Amazigh dimension bias component without the other, but sought to take down the constitutional requirements for multi-Moroccan identity which did not succeed in the ruling political elite downloaded in the form of regulatory laws. We reject the exclusionary, and we want to complete the multi-color image of the Moroccan identity, and what it did not serve the dimension of this identity service. We reject divisive, reject all tight ethnic tendency, we are one people and we will stay one people. Journalist, What does this party, the Democratic Party Amazigh cultural movement; of the ideological and organizational? Abdullah Al Haloui, We are not an extension of the Democratic Party Moroccan Amazigh, and we are not “an amendment” has also promoted so some of the media. But we respect this experience and consider that the position of the State which is not an excuse, but governed by exclusionary tendency to be blamed for ever. We also do not speak on behalf of Amazigh movement do not claim to represent. Amazigh movement is a multicolor mosaic and have positions, we adopt many of them, especially the concept of cultural and linguistic pluralism, cultural and linguistic rights. Journalist, Do they not fear the authoritie’s refusal, once again, to recognize his party with an Amazigh reference? And what steps you will take in the event of rejection? Abdullah Al Haloui, We are not afraid but only of God; we respect the state and its institutions, but we do not beg “a gratuity” political. Our reference is not Amazigh, but the Universality of the four components, namely: traditional values ​​Amazigh community that make up the asset value judgment of all Moroccans without exception (such as righteousness “Agharas Agharas”)(Right Right), and the obligations of the Moroccan constitution, including its commitment to the multilateral character of the Moroccan identity, and universal values ​​as values ​​of participatory and future economy values and the principles of universal principle of parity between the ethnicities. Nothing in this is contrary to the Moroccan constitution or the law governing the formation of political parties. The steps we take in case of rejection, each serves as an article. Journalist, What is the feasibility of the establishment of the party, originally, in light of the Moroccan political reality that chokes political structures? Abdullah Al Haloui, We are not responsible for the large number of parties if they are too many, and we are not responsible for the deterioration of politics in our country that was poor. Our goal is to complete the beautiful multiple identity image of our country, and to achieve and create a Hong Kong African in a short time. We will assme full responsability for its achievement and we will be accountable for its achievement failure. Journalist, How does your organization look to other parties; especially the Islamic and the conservatives among them? Abdullah Al Haloui, Each party of national parties seeks to achieve after the multiple dimensions of Moroccan identity. While confirming the political project of originality and contemporary to reconcile and balance between contemporary values ​​and the various manifestations of the Moroccan tradition, we find that the Justice and Development Party emphasizes the Islamic values ​​that are an essential dimension of the Moroccan identity. I personally admire the experience of the “New Democrats” and especially the idea of ​​”reconciliation policy knowledge”, advocated by Mohamed Darif. However, we still need a Party to deal sufficient dose of seriousness and courage with other dimensions that are not interested in the political elite, such as Tamazight language that have been and continue to be marginalized. Our relationship with other parties will be the integration of a relationship based on respect and appreciation for each other intelligent, and compete in good works. Journalist, What is the status of preparations for the founding of the party? When and where the announcement of this is expected ? Are you thinking to contest legislative elections in 2016? Abdullah Al Haloui, We are in the final stages of drafting the political project and by-laws. It hoped to have a meeting in Marrakech 7 November 2015 the last meeting preparatory consultation by the general assembly. The question of participation in the legislative benefits for the year 2016, resolved the issue of the party rules in a timely manner.]]>
