HIBAPRESS – Casablanca
A number of warehouse owners in the Mohammedia region have expressed their dissatisfaction with what they described as "selectivity" in the implementation of demolition operations that affected their buildings, as part of a campaign to remove informal and illegal buildings. They questioned the reasons for targeting them without others, despite the existence of similar buildings that were not included in these measures.
This tension comes in the context of the cessation of the demolition campaign that the authorities launched weeks ago in a number of municipalities in the region, including Beni Yakhlef, Ain Tki, and Challaat, where warehouses, informal shops, and buildings in violation of the law were demolished. Meanwhile, other neighboring buildings remained standing, even though their design and method of construction suggest that they are also illegal. The affected people considered that this situation raises questions about the criteria for intervention, demanding the need to clarify the foundations adopted in implementing demolition decisions and ensure the application of the law to everyone fairly and equally, to avoid any feeling of injustice or discrimination between citizens.
