Brasilia - February 14, 2025 - (MAP) - Morocco was showcased this Monday on the Parlamentos do Mundo (Parliaments of the World) show, broadcast on Radio Senado, the Brazilian Senate's station.
With a journey through history, paired with the enchanting sounds of Morocco’s rich musical heritage, Ivan Godoi’s show highlighted the Kingdom’s parliamentary past, vibrant culture, and its key role in the Maghreb region.
"Think of a country that draws tourists from all over the world with its culture and the originality of its historical cities. That country is Morocco," said the host at the start of this weekly 10-minute show, which delves into the history and functioning of legislative institutions around the world.
This episode also traced the evolution of Morocco's legislative power, highlighting the deeply rooted multiparty system in the Kingdom and its commitment to democratic principles since its independence in 1956.
During the radio show, Morocco's Ambassador to Brazil, Nabil Adghoghi, emphasized Morocco's diversity and its openness to the world, particularly illustrated by its model of political pluralism and religious tolerance.
"Religious tolerance is a fundamental aspect of Moroccan identity. Coexistence between religions has been a reality in Morocco for twelve centuries, as reflected in the presence of mosques, churches, and synagogues across various cities," he pointed out.
This model of coexistence has allowed Morocco to preserve its diverse identity, shaped by multiple influences, including Arab, Muslim, Jewish, and Andalusian cultures, he added.
The diplomat also highlighted Morocco's democratic roots, recalling that the country has never succumbed to the temptation of a single-party system. "In the 1950s and 1960s, when the region was experiencing a strong trend toward single-party systems and socialist regimes, Morocco consistently chose multipartyism, both for political parties and trade unions."
