Fez, Morocco – July 1, 2025 – In a strongly worded statement, an informed source told Fes News that the elected councils of Fez Prefecture and its districts bear direct responsibility for the alarming rise in traffic accidents recently witnessed in the city, describing their lack of action as “negligence that threatens citizens’ lives.”
The source emphasized that the role of municipalities and districts should not be limited to merely overseeing construction projects but must primarily be proactive. Elected officials are required to be present on the ground and enforce urgent and temporary safety measures around construction zones instead of waiting for disasters to occur.
The source added: “Protecting the lives of road users is a fundamental responsibility of the elected councils. What we see today is a clear failure to fulfill this duty. They should have proactively, and before tragic incidents like the underage fan’s accident, mandated contractors to install clear temporary signage, effective protective barriers, and secure pathways for pedestrians and vehicles.”
These statements directly point the finger at those responsible for the traffic disorder plaguing the scientific capital and affirm that the recurring accidents are not mere fate but an inevitable consequence of lack of oversight and disregard for public safety. This raises urgent questions about the competence of these councils to manage a city as significant as Fez, especially amid the major challenges it faces.
