A-Infos (en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #231 - Morocco: A crisis that never ends (fr) [machine translation]

Political, economic and social, Morocco is undergoing a profound crisis: public education 
failed, rampant racism, living conditions more difficult for the popular classes. ---- Not 
easy to live in Morocco for the popular classes: the cost of living continues to rise, 
while wages do not follow the same curve, public services are down or virtually 
non-existent in some areas. In August there was a increase of almost 6% of the price of 
milk, which proves that economic growth and affluence by the vaunted power are far from 
benefiting the entire population. Much of Moroccans and Moroccan still face poverty and 
discrimination, and this is even more true for those who come from poorer countries.

Popular education initiatives

National education has become a fair in dough. All social classes, Moroccan families opt 
for private education, because public education has become a ghost that does not even 
guarantee the minimum of the right to know. This situation is the result of years of 
corruption and budget cuts dictated by the IMF. From this was born a year ago the 
collective UECSE (Student Union to change the education system): he fights for a public 
education system that is accessible especially to the poorest social classes, and 
guaranteeing the right to know and quality training. Among the actions that this group 
participates or initiates that include time of collective reading in public spaces: the 
action is very well received across the country by the young, but is repressed in some 
cities. In addition, there is the organization, recently a popular university philosophy 
every Thursday evening this popular university, which demonstrated a sustained level and 
openness to everyone, implements collective and constructive thinking in a revolutionary 
mood and open to ideas.

Morocco, ramparts of Fortress Europe

Racism against people from African countries south of Morocco begins to speak without 
shame, in a society still steeped in denial. In the month of August there was a deadly 
attack on a passenger bus in a Senegalese nationality: while it was sitting in the seat 
indicated on the ticket, individuals had asked him to change positions, that he had 
refused. This situation is the result of the security delegation of the European Union and 
agreements with Morocco to dam migration flows to Europe. Consequently, people from 
sub-Saharan Africa to seek European Eldorado, find themselves stuck in Morocco. To handle 
this, the Moroccan state burns encampments of black people wanting to go to Europe: 
several deaths were recorded during these interventions in the forests north of the country.

The Government of PJD (Justice and Development) through a difficult crisis, and still 
fails to create a coalition government majority. This crisis is due to aggressive sabotage 
makhzen (the monarchy and his entourage), which is now expressed through the Independence 
Party and its secretary general Shabbat. While the party was a member of the government 
coalition with the PJD since the last election in November 2011, he decided to leave it a 
few months ago. Since it is tough to PJD, as the latter, despite his royalist zeal, did 
not meet the makhzen!
