In 1936, he founded a political party called al-Islah al-Watani (The National Reform) with backing from the Spanish Falangists with whom he enjoyed a good relationship. Torres's 1934 play Intissar al haq (The Victory of the Right), "is still considered the first published Moroccan play," according to scholar Kamal Salhi. His political activity from the 1930s on culminated in the independence of Morocco in 1956. In his later years, Torres served first as ambassador to Spain and Egypt, and then as Minister of Justice.
