Fatima Zahra Mansouri returned this Friday to her office as mayor of Marrakech after her threat of resignation yesterday

In fact, Mansouri had threatened yesterday to resign from his post as mayor of the ocher city. She ultimately reconsidered this decision following the harsh reactions that the news generated and the great buzz that the web saw yesterday.

The news of his resignation surprised more than one. Several people intervened to dissuade her from her decision, probably including Fouad Ali Rl Himma.

Several news sites reported this Thursday the news of the resignation of the mayor of Marrakech, arguing that the causes of this resignation would be the pressure exerted by Hamid Narjiss, the PAM coordinator in Marrakech.

The news of Mansouri’s resignation especially surprised the city’s residents who consider that the position of mayor is a responsibility assigned by elections, and that one should therefore only leave until the end of the mandate when the mayor should present a complete and responsible report.
