An informed source told “Fes News” that the “Licensing” platform in Fes, established to simplify the granting of licenses, has become a real obstacle for small traders. They are being linked to minor zoning violations, turning these procedures into what resembles a “death sentence” that completely hinders their economic projects.
The source explained that these violations, which could be resolved with simple corrective measures, are used as an excuse to delay files, effectively closing the door on small traders and subjecting them to overwhelming financial and administrative pressures. This situation exacerbates the suffering of small investors and weakens their economic activity at a time when the city needs to bolster small projects to support local development.
The source emphasized that this treatment opens the door to corrupt administrative practices and promotes informal activity, forcing many traders to step away from the legal framework to avoid delays and ineffective procedures.
