Positive news from Al-Masaa via MEMRI.
A Moroccan Jewish woman, Maggie Cacoun, is to head the women’s list of the Al-Wast Al-Aghtama’i party in the upcoming parliamentary elections in Morocco.
Cacoun, who defines herself as a “nationalist Moroccan,” said that she does not want her religion to be the main issue in her candidacy.
The party’s secretary-general said that Cacoun’s candidacy was “an opening for Jews as a fundamental element among the elements of the Moroccan identity.”
Another Jew, Joseph Levy, is currently the party’s deputy secretary-general.
I wonder how she will do in the election.

I don’t see how that can be a problem. they have the right just like my neighbor next door. I know they will work Friday full day. that’s a plus as far as I’m concerned
I sincerely wish them a good luck
peace
