The People's Movement ( Arabic الحركة الشعبية, DMG al-Ḥaraka aš-šaʿbiyya , Moroccan Tamazight ⴰⵎⵓⵙⵙⵓ ⴰⵖⵔⴼⴰⵏ Amussu Aɣrfan , French Mouvement populaire ) is a royalist party in Morocco .
history
The MP was founded in 1957 by the Berber tribal leader Mahjoubi Aherdane with the help of Abdelkrim al-Khatib , who later himself founded a splinter party ( Mouvement populaire démocratique et constitutionnel ), which became the Party for Justice and Development (PJD). When it was founded, the popular movement was a rural, conservative and tribal party that unconditionally supported the monarchy and tried to weaken the nationalist Istiqlal party. Although the party is predominantly elected by Tamazight - ("Berber") - speakers, it has not developed an explicit Berber program.
Since March 25, 2006, the current party has consisted of the main party, which kept its name, and two splinter parties merged into the popular movement, the National People's Movement ( Mouvement National Populaire , al-Ḥaraka al-waṭaniyya aš-šaʿbiyya) and the Democratic Union ( Union démocratique ).
The party is a full member of the Liberal International , to which it joined at its congress in Dakar in 2003. Your choice symbol is a dagger.
