Rassemblement National Secures Leadership of France-Morocco Friendship Group in Parliament

The far-right party's selection is seen as a symbolic move emphasizing its focus on diplomacy, economic ties, and immigration control.

The Rassemblement National (RN) has been chosen to lead the France-Morocco parliamentary friendship group, a highly sought-after position in the National Assembly.
This decision follows a 'round-robin' selection process due to disagreements among political groups over the allocation of leadership roles for nearly 20 country-based friendship groups.
RN leaders view the appointment as a 'signal of strength,' citing Morocco's significance in diplomacy, economic development, and its role in managing immigration issues.
Other notable allocations include the ruling Ensemble party securing the United States, Israel, and Spain groups, while the Socialist Party gained Algeria and Taiwan, and the MoDem party took Palestine.
The appointments are expected to be formally confirmed during the upcoming National Assembly bureau meeting next week.
