A senior member of Morocco's Authenticity and Modernity Party has attacked the campaign rhetoric of Abdelilah Benkirane, head of the rival Justice and Development Party. Abdelatif Ouahbi told Hespress in an interview that Benkirane's speeches during the recent electoral round had grown so harsh they 'annul ablution,' a cutting idiom implying the words were beyond the pale. He also pointed to remarks by the National Rally of Independents' Rachid Talbi Alami that surfaced in a leaked recording. The discussion also covered the behind-the-scenes story of Mansouri's appointment.
