Original French: Dans une démocratie, les élections représentent un processus tout à fait normal. Or, le Maroc est une démocratie. Le prochain scrutin sera transparent. Il reflétera la volonté des citoyens marocains. Les gens savent pertinemment où va le Maroc et où je veux aller.

In Morocco, I am perfectly known. Moroccans know my character and my ideas, they know absolutely everything about me. This idea of mystery is maintained by a certain press: to sell something, you have to put a label on it. So they put a label on me, that of mystery, simply because I decided that, before speaking, I would wait to know more.

The situation is difficult. Nothing has been decided yet. The maneuvers of the adversaries of our territorial integrity are not going to stop, which could place our cause before decisive developments. Therefore, I urge all of you once again to be strongly mobilized, to be constantly vigilant, and to take effective initiatives, both internally and externally, to thwart the enemies of the nation wherever they may be, and to foil the illegitimate schemes to which they resort.
