The Moroccan Civil Authority of Retirees has expressed its deep dissatisfaction with the conditions in which most retirees live, criticizing what it described as government neglect towards this social group, despite the continued rise in the cost of the life.
The authority announced, in a press release, the organization of a demonstration on Sunday January 5, 2025, at 11 a.m., in front of the seat of Parliament in the capital, Rabat, under the slogan: “The immediate increase and the increasing the Minimum pension is an essential approach to justice for retirees and those with rights.
In its statement, the authority called for retroactively increasing pensions, particularly minimum and average pensions, in proportion to the increase in the cost of living and the inflation index. He also called for the adoption of a fair and advanced pension system that ensures the protection of retirees’ rights.
The press release underlines the need to create a supreme national institution responsible for the affairs of retirees, with the formation of an electoral body comprising their representatives, like the salaried body of the Council of Advisors. He stressed the importance of representing retirees democratically and effectively on the boards of pension funds and social enterprise associations affiliated to the public and private sectors.
The statement highlights the urgent need to improve and expand the scope of health care provided to retirees, while ensuring the provision of appropriate and free treatment conditions. He also called for exempting retirees and their families from paying financial differences that exceed the coverage of the basic insurance system.
