Koutla


The Koutla is a political coalition between three Moroccan parties: the centre-right Istiqlal Party, the centre-left Socialist Union of Popular Forces, and the left-wing Party of [Progress and Socialism]. The alliance was initially formed on 26 May 1970 between the Istiqlal Party and the National Union of Popular Forces as a front to oppose Moroccan constitutional referendum|constitutional changes] enacted prior to the 1970 Moroccan general election. The alliance was then re-formed in 1998 with its current members, all of whom were in the legislative opposition prior to the installation of the first government of Abderrahmane Youssoufi.
The alliance has been a part of several governments since its re-foundation, including both Youssoufi governments, both governments led by Driss Jettou, and the Abbas El Fassi government.
