Morocco: growing violence against large sections of the people

United Socialist Party Secretary General Nabila Mounib reported growing violence against large sections of the Moroccan people, pointing out that Morocco, since independence, has made undemocratic choices that have caused social differences and enlargement of the circle of poverty, unemployment and vulnerability.

In the weekly podcast she posted on her Facebook page, Mounib pointed out that there is “violence practiced on large sections of the Moroccan people due to the absence of democracy, social justice and rights”.

The MP referred to the rising prices of consumer goods and fuel and the drought which are factors that have complicated the situation, denouncing the fact that “at least four families have the monopoly of the hydrocarbon sector and their profits have risen in 2021 to nearly 40 billion dirhams”.

Nabila Mounib criticized the fact that the government has not yet capped the prices of raw materials, stressing that “the recent measures that have been taken are insufficient and what Morocco needs is a real tax reform, real reforms that establish a Morocco in which all Moroccans live in dignity, far from the increase in violence”.

The official had previously warned on several occasions about the alarming expansion of the circles of poverty and marginalization in Morocco, which threatens to explode.

In the annual report on the occasion of the eighth session of the National Council of the party last Saturday, Nabila Mounib said that the observer of the situation in Morocco “does not need great efforts to make him understand that the country has been living for years to the rhythm of crises, revealed by numerous national and international reports.

The Moroccan MP warned that “the cogs of the state no longer stop at the stage of encouraging the rentier economy and corruption, but have reached the point of absolute control over all aspects of life. “.
