During a session devoted to examining the economic budget and the Finance Bill 2027, Deputy Abdelhalim Bousma proposed declaring an energy emergency, accelerating energy- and water-related projects, and launching a program to regularize and allocate housing for around one million families living in informal popular neighborhoods.
Accelerating the Energy Transition
He estimated that the erosion of energy independence, which he places at around 32%, exerts pressure on public finances and the trade balance, and he called for declaring an energy emergency in planning and implementing projects.
He proposed the creation of a permanent structure tasked with accelerating the energy transition, ensuring adherence to deadlines and removing administrative obstacles and authorization difficulties. These blockages would, according to him, delay programmed projects totaling nearly 1,200 MW.
The deputy also argued for tax incentives and differentiated financing mechanisms, coupled with framed public guarantees, in order to stimulate investment in renewable and clean energy. He finally called for preparing already for the summer of 2027 and to mobilize additional capacities to meet peaks in electricity consumption.
Desalination and Food Security
In the water sector, Abdelhalim Bousma proposed a national plan providing for the construction of at least three large seawater desalination plants. He also called for promoting the use of treated wastewater and accelerating projects aimed at developing water resources.
He further advocated for a national food security strategy based on supporting agricultural production, protecting local products, and reducing dependence on external markets.
Expediting the Handling of Criminal Conciliation Dossiers
The deputy presented criminal conciliation as an initiative launched by the President of the Republic, Kaïs Saïed, aimed at recovering the rights of the State while giving business leaders a new opportunity to reintegrate their companies into the economic circuit.
He called for finalizing the dossiers for which the conciliation commission has reached an agreement with the applicants, and then submitting them to the National Security Council for a decision, before the completion of legal procedures. He also proposed directing the revenues from conciliation toward investments and development projects.
A Housing Regularization Program
Under the right to housing, Abdelhalim Bousma proposed a national program aimed at regularizing the situation and facilitating the registration of dwellings for about one million families living in more than 1,000 informal popular neighborhoods.
The proposal also provides for connecting these neighborhoods to essential facilities and services and integrating them into the economic circuit.
The deputy finally suggested reducing the value-added tax applied to housing and implementing fixed-rate loans for the purchase of a first home, with no down payment and over a 25-year period, under conditions guaranteeing the sustainability of the financing.
