HIBAPRESS – Oujda
The General Secretariat of the Moroccan Union of Artistic Professions (S.M.P.A) expressed its deep concern regarding the growth of some "unregulated" practices that have begun to dominate the wedding and events market in the Oriental region, confirming that these imbalances are deeply affecting the artistic work environment and negatively impacting professionals.
In a statement, a copy of which was received by the "HIBAPRESS" website, the union revealed that it had received many complaints from professionals, and in coordination with the preparatory committee of the regional secretariat in the Oriental region, it became clear that there were "unregulated mediations" that caused clear imbalances. The statement indicated that these practices led to the lack of equal opportunities between artists and professionals, and undermined the principle of transparency in accessing job opportunities, with a decline in the quality of artistic services provided to citizens. The union, in its statement signed by the Secretary-General Jawad Chaddid, emphasized the need for a responsible approach to reform the sector, calling for urgent practical steps that include activating control mechanisms: to ensure respect for fair competition rules within the sector; institutionalizing dialogue: opening serious communication channels between the various stakeholders to develop balanced solutions; direct professional dealing: encouraging clear contracting formulas that protect the rights of all parties; protecting youth: preserving the dignity of artists, especially the rising generations, from any practices that affect their professional stability. The union did not fail to direct an appeal to the authorities and competent authorities, each from its position, to intervene and understand the nature of these imbalances, and take the necessary measures to ensure the transparency and organization of the field in a way that serves the public interest. The General Secretariat concluded its statement by renewing its full readiness to engage in initiatives aimed at qualifying the sector, stressing that the advancement of the national artistic scene is a collective responsibility that requires the concerted efforts of all actors in a spirit of responsibility.
