The unified union office of the Samir company demanded the need to resume oil refining activities at the Mohammedia refinery without further delay or procrastination, especially after the end of international arbitration procedures which forced Morocco to pay a fine to the company “Coral Maroc Holding” regarding the refinery.

In a press release published by the office of the Democratic Confederation of Labor, following the general assembly, she called on the Moroccan government to abandon its negative position in the face of the Samir company crisis and to take serious measures to restart the refinery, especially after all the pretexts on which he relied to avoid any interference have disappeared, the latest being the end of the international arbitration process.

The office stressed the importance of strengthening national sovereignty in light of international turbulence, emphasizing the need to rely on local production to meet national energy needs, of which oil energies constitute more than 52%. He also stressed the need to restart the refinery, connect it to the natural gas network, develop petrochemical industries and restore lost economic benefits following the disruption of the refining sector.

The office highlighted the negative repercussions of the closure of the refinery since August 2015, noting the significant losses suffered by employees and retirees, in addition to the negative impact on local development in the city of Mohammedia.
