The Authenticity and Modernity Party (Arabic: حزب الأصالة والمعاصرة, romanized: ḥizb al-ʾaṣāla wa-l-muʿāṣira; Standard Moroccan Tamazight: ⴰⵎⵓⵍⵍⵉ ⵏ ⵜⴰⵥⵖⵓⵕⵜ ⴷ ⵜⴰⵎⵜⵔⴰⵔⵜ, romanized: amulli n taẓɣoṛt d tamtrart) is a political party in Morocco. It was founded in 2008 by Fouad Ali El Himma, an advisor to the king Mohammed VI, and it has been perceived by its opponents and the press as being backed and directed by the monarchy.[1][6] As such, it has been accused of having little ideology except for support of the monarchy, although some of its policies have been described as socially liberal.[3]
