Jewess Runs for Parliament in Morocco
A Moroccan Jewish woman, Maggie Cacoun, is to head the women's list of the Al-Wast Al-Aghtama'i party in the upcoming parliamentary elections in Morocco.I wonder how she will do in the election.
Cacoun, who defines herself as a "nationalist Moroccan," said that she does not want her religion to be the main issue in her candidacy.
The party's secretary-general said that Cacoun's candidacy was "an opening for Jews as a fundamental element among the elements of the Moroccan identity."
Another Jew, Joseph Levy, is currently the party's deputy secretary-general.
