Socialist Union of Popular Forces
The "Koutla" groups three parties which are members of the 2007-2011 government; namely the Istiqlal Party, the Socialist Union of Popular Forces and the Party of Progress and Socialism. The "Koutla" alliance criticized the decision of two other member parties of the current government to join the Coalition for Democracy alliance with other parties of the opposition. Consequently, the leaders of the "Koutla" made implicit calls for the Justice and Development party to join their alliance.
