£During an open meeting with journalists organized by the Faqih al-Tetouani Foundation on Tuesday, the Secretary General of the Popular Movement Party (PMP), Mohamed Ouzine, reviewed a series of measures that his party would have taken to confront the price hike crisis in Morocco.
As part of his criticism of the government, Ouzine expressed his surprise that the Prime Minister did not take a decision to cap fuel prices, despite the powers granted to him by the Law on Freedom of Prices and Competition, describing the Competition Council as the “Council of the Maqasa,” referring to its ineffectiveness in confronting economic challenges.
Ouzine went on to say: “What prevents the head of the government from pricing fuel two years ago? The Competition Council law, specifically Chapter 4, allows him to do so.” He added that the Popular Movement Party had proposed the formation of a ‘parliamentary vigilance committee to monitor prices,’ but this proposal was rejected by the government.
Regarding the Competition Council, Ouzine did not hide his sharp criticism, describing it as an institution that is “absent from its role,” stressing that the party’s proposed solution is to “force all fuel distributors, who enjoy large profit margins, to reduce these margins.”
