Mohamed Hafeez considers the continuation of the faces involved in the "Years of Lead" as an obstacle to the democratic transition in Morocco

Mohammed Hafeez, a university professor and leader in the "Federation of the Left", stressed that one of the reasons for the failure of the democratic transition in Morocco is the continuation of the past in the present through the practices and faces that made the "years of lead". In a post on his personal Facebook account, Hafeez considered that the continuation of those involved in those years in political and administrative sites prevents turning the page of the past. He pointed out that their presence in the public scene and the repetition of incidents of kidnappings, torture and fabrication of charges confirm that they do not break with the previous covenant.

The leader of the "Left Federation" explained that the Comissaire "Arshan" and his ilk were unable to get rid of their aggression and remained prisoners of the black past, which caused the country great losses, despite the tolerance shown by society and the victims towards them, highlighting that he is not qualified to identify the criminal and the non-criminal. He added that one of the basic conditions for democratic transformation and reconciliation with impunity is for those involved and those exercising political or security authority to leave the public scene, because their appearance keeps violations alive. He stressed that a person like Arshan could not establish a party or become a member of parliament, and considered that the occurrence of this in Morocco was evidence that nothing had changed.
