Retired education sector employees in Morocco have announced their intention to organize a protest in the capital, Rabat, on October 1st. This move comes in protest against what they describe as a sharp deterioration in their purchasing power amid an unprecedented wave of price increases for basic and consumer goods.
In a statement, the retirees affirmed that the significant increase in poverty and unemployment rates, coupled with the decline in the quality of public services in general, has contributed to deepening their feelings of marginalization and social exclusion. They pointed out that their retirement pensions, which have been frozen, are no longer sufficient to ensure a minimum decent living for them and their families.
This move comes amid a rise in social protests in Morocco, as the country is experiencing a wave of inflation that has affected various sectors, significantly impacting the purchasing power of citizens, especially vulnerable groups such as retirees.
These protests are expected to put additional pressure on the Moroccan government, which is facing growing economic and social challenges. Observers are watching to see how the authorities will respond to the retirees’ demands and whether they will take urgent measures to improve their living conditions.
All eyes are now on October 1st, as the protest is expected to reveal the extent of mobilization among retired teachers and their ability to influence decision-makers to meet their demands.
