Heba Press – Abdul Latif Baraka
The disappearance of today, Sunday, February 23, swept away the streets of Casablanca, a massive march organized by the Democratic Confederation of Labor, as an expression of its condemnation of the high prices which exhausted the Moroccan citizen.
Participants in the heart of the city gathered, raising slogans denouncing the high lifestyle and the deterioration of purchasing power, demanding a real social dialogue which guarantees the rights of the working class.
The march occurred at a sensitive moment, because citizens suffer from high prices and the exacerbation of unemployment, which increased social congestion.
The Democratic Labor Union, in its declaration, held the government responsible for this situation, noting that it ignored the requests of the unions and disturbs it for social dialogue. He also criticized the adoption of reactionary laws, including the strike law, that the union considered a threat to workers’ rights.
The march was not only a rally of protest, but rather a resounding cry in the face of government policies, calling for an urgent decision to save the working class and improve its conditions.
The participants expressed their dissatisfaction with the deterioration of economic and social conditions, stressing the need for the government to join its promises and sit at the dialogue table with the unions.
This march reflects a state of anger and resentment among citizens and underlines the urgent need for radical reforms which guarantee social justice and improve working and life conditions.
This march remains an important step in the history of social struggle in Morocco, and a reminder of all the need to listen to people’s demands and work to make them.
