history

The PPS is the third party founded by the communist Ali Yata after the Parti Communiste Maroccain (PCM), founded in 1943, and the Parti de Liberation et de Socialisme (PLS), founded in 1969, were both banned and dissolved. The party was founded in 1974 and held its first national congress in 1975. The party maintains the continuity of the Moroccan socialist and labor movement , which has campaigned for the independence of Morocco from Spain and France and for the rise of a society of justice and equality since the mid-1940s . In the 1960s she fought for a pluralistic, democratic and progressive Morocco. She went through the difficult conditions of colonialism, later through the years of lead (years from 1956 to 1999), in which Morocco's traditionalist reactionary groups used the means of the state of emergency to abolish the rule of law and reject ideas of pluralism and freedom.

The PPS was part of the informal party coalition Al-Koutla , with which it became government partner of Prime Minister Abbas El Fassi in 2007 . Since the parliamentary elections in 2011, however, the PPS has been involved as a coalition partner in the governments of the majority party, the Justice and Development Party (PJD). In the last parliamentary election in 2016, the PPS won 4.5% of the vote and 12 seats.
