Football and anti-Israel messages feature in Morocco election campaign

Morocco’s election campaign is using football, employment promises and anti-Israel messages to appeal to young voters, BBC News reports. Political actors are courting younger people with slogans linked to the country’s popular football culture. They are also presenting promises of jobs as part of their appeal.

Anti-Israel rallying calls have become another feature of the campaign, according to the report. The available material does not identify the parties using the messages, specify the election date or provide polling information. The report’s account shows a campaign combining domestic economic appeals with football-related identity and opposition to Israel.

It does not provide details of how voters have responded or indicate which issues are likely to determine the result.
