HIBAPRESS – Khalil Fazazi
The incident of a "Kouir" car owner climbing a telecommunications pole in the city of Laayoune, in protest against his car being impounded near the large model market, has reignited discussions about the situation of workers in informal transportation and the extent to which elected officials engage with the demands of this group.
The incident has brought back to the forefront the electoral promises attributed to the Member of Parliament for the province of Laayoune, Aziz Akhannouch, regarding advocating for drivers of this type of vehicle. These drivers rely on this activity for their income, amidst the challenges associated with conducting transportation outside the regulated legal frameworks.
In this context, several observers are raising questions about the possibility of conveying the demands of this group to the legislative institution and advocating for them with the Ministry of Interior and relevant authorities, with the aim of finding practical solutions that consider the social situation of the drivers while respecting the laws governing the transport sector.
The incident also raises questions about the fate of the promises made during previous electoral contests and the ability of elected officials to translate them into tangible initiatives that meet citizens' expectations.
Between the enforcement of transport regulations and the social constraints faced by workers in this activity, the challenge remains to find a realistic approach that opens the door to legal and sustainable solutions, rather than continued tension and the recurrence of such incidents.
Until clarifications are issued by those concerned, the question remains: Will Aziz Akhannouch act to advocate for the demands of "Kouir" car drivers within Parliament and before the Ministry of Interior, or will this group continue to await solutions to end their current situation?
