Hicham Ait Mana Responds to Ali Lamrabet: “I Have Never Met Hamouchi in My Life, Not Even By Phone”
Hicham Ait Mana, president of Wydad Athletic Club and member of parliament for the National Rally of Independents, broke his silence to respond to claims made in a video by journalist Ali Lamrabet, in which he categorically denied the rumors of a meeting between him and Abdellatif Hamouchi, director general of national security and territorial surveillance.
In a statement to journalist Najiba Jalal, editor-in-chief of “Express TV,” Ait Mana said: “I have never had the honor of meeting Mr. Abdellatif Hamouchi, neither personally nor professionally, and I have never spoken to him in my life, even over the phone.”
The parliamentarian and head of Wydad emphasized that the assertions presented in the circulated video are baseless, deeming the release of such claims as lacking credibility and harmful to individuals and institutions that Moroccans trust.
Ait Mana did not hide his admiration for Abdellatif Hamouchi, describing him as “a true statesman who works tirelessly and sacrifices for the security and stability of the country,” noting that his competence is recognized both domestically and internationally.
It is worth mentioning that Ait Mana’s comments came in the context of the controversy stirred by Lamrabet’s recent video, which addressed alleged relationships between officials and public figures without providing concrete evidence.
