Rex Park, once a tranquil green space, has transformed into a daily market, drawing attention to the legality of this new use and its impact on legitimate businesses in the area, particularly along Mohammed V Street and the surrounding alleys.
The park, now known as “Souika,” has seen an influx of vendors, which has significantly affected traditional commercial activities and raised concerns among legitimate shopkeepers. They argue that the informal market offers unfair competition due to lower costs and the lack of fees typically imposed on registered businesses.
Despite the numerous questions raised, the identity of the entity that authorized these activities remains unclear. It is also uncertain whether there is actual coordination between professional chambers and the relevant authorities to regulate this informal market.
In addition to these concerns, another serious issue has emerged regarding the safety of visitors. The vendors rely on gas-powered generators, posing a real risk to public safety, especially in the absence of essential safety measures.
These concerns are heightened by the frequent recurrence of this market in the same location, raising doubts about the responsibility of the authorities and the lack of stringent oversight.
Citizens and traders, some of whom view this market as a threat to their livelihoods, are calling for a thorough investigation by the relevant authorities under the supervision of the local governor to determine accountability and clarify who benefits from the exploitation of this public space.
