Morocco election 2026 — PPS offers a costed diaspora plan spanning rights, property, return and expertise

Its relative weakness is cross-border social protection. Pensions, healthcare coverage and benefit portability receive less operational detail than property, investment or representation.

From remittance sender to full citizen

PPS argues that citizens abroad are still too often viewed primarily as a source of money. It proposes overseas constituencies, direct voting and candidacy in countries of residence, as well as postal voting for local elections.

It also calls for a quota of diaspora experts in appointed bodies including the Economic, Social and Environmental Council, the National Human Rights Council, the Competition Council and regulatory authorities.

These are ambitious commitments. They would require organic-law changes, an electoral map, equal access across host countries and a secure delivery system. The manifesto allocates 500 million dirhams to digital systems, communication and support linked to direct political representation.

Protecting property and inheritance remotely

The manifesto addresses property fraud and inheritance disputes with unusually concrete proposals: a digital property-protection shield, an inheritance mechanism, priority access at land-registry agencies, a stated 30-day period for registering inheritance rights and automatic notifications.

This detail sets the offer apart from generic promises about the rule of law. Implementation would still need clear coordination among courts, notaries, adouls, land registries and data-protection authorities.

Supporting return without making it compulsory

PPS proposes raising Tamwilcom’s guarantee to 80% for young diaspora professionals. A separate “MRE Expertise” status, with a dedicated tax identifier, would allow experts abroad to provide services to Moroccan organisations without permanently relocating.

For those preparing to move, the party proposes extending the vehicle-admission framework from six months to as much as 36 cumulative months. It also outlines support for students and researchers, including recruitment of 100 postdoctoral researchers each year for five years.

The package recognises that expertise can circulate through remote work, short missions, gradual relocation and scientific return — not only permanent “brain gain”.

Consular reform and the next generation

PPS wants to activate the diaspora one-stop shop first ordered in 2015, expand and digitise consular services, create Moroccan cultural centres linked to consulates and organise youth stays with language courses and suitable transport arrangements.

It also proposes twice-yearly national policy meetings and measures addressing mixed marriages and children born to those families.

The missing layer: portable social rights

The manifesto promises to defend citizens against discrimination in host countries and use bilateral agreements more actively. It gives less detail on pension coordination, health insurance, unemployment cover and family benefits. That gap keeps the score below full marks.

MMNEWS verdict

PPS has produced an unusually broad, detailed and costed diaspora chapter. The test is now delivery: ten institution-heavy commitments in five years, transparent budget allocation, and measurable progress. Portable social rights remain the clearest area for improvement.
