description Although he was forced to undertake constitutional reforms by the February 20 Movement, the king responded only partially to the movement’s expectations. Even if foreign embassies supporting the regime paid tribute to the king for being responsive to citizens’ demands, the new constitution has had no bearings on the foundations of the regime or the king’s main prerogatives under the old constitutional texts. The king’s strategy was crowned by the appointment of the new government formed after the November 25, 2011 elections and headed by the former Islamist opposition party- the Party of Justice and Development (PJD). In an insecure regional context marked by social and political upheavals, the choice of the PJD is functional. It helps neutralize a number of Islamist protest associations, give hope to disadvantaged fringes of population and convey the image that a significant change is taking place in Morocco.
