The deputy of the Party of Justice and Development , Amina Maelainine, announced on Tuesday that she had contracted the Coronavirus.

Stepping up in the wake of rumors about the Prime Minister’s alleged intervention to release her sister, PJD deputy Amina Maelainine denied any contact with the current Prime Minister, Saâd-Eddine El Otmani or his predecessor, Abdelilah Benkirane, to request an intervention to release her sister.

Caught in the act of not respecting confinement, Iyehanidou Maelainine, sister of deputy Amina Maelainine , was placed in custody in Tiznit on Wednesday, April 8, 2020.

The re-election of Habib El Malki as head of the House of Representatives received the support of the government majority. However, the Party of Justice and Development (PJD) would have in this race put obstacles in the way of several candidates from its own camp, including Amina Maelainine , who therefore misses out on the vice-presidency of the speaker’s chair.

The choices of PJD deputy Amina Maelainine following the controversies generated by her photos without a veil in Paris are not to the liking of former Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane.

"The PJD does not have to educate Moroccans on ablution and prayer": This is what Abdelaziz Rebbah, Minister of Energy and Mines in Saâdeddine El Othmani’s government, declared regarding the case of the Moroccan deputy Amina Maelainine’s veil.
