An internal chat screenshot from the group “Genz 212 – France” sparked widespread controversy on social media, showing the organizers’ effort to obtain official permission from French authorities to hold a protest in Paris. This move, reflecting a desire to comply with French law, has raised questions about why the same approach is not adopted in Morocco—by establishing a real organizational framework and benefiting from constitutional rights that guarantee peaceful and legal demonstrations.
The circulated conversation reveals a diligent search for a volunteer with dual nationality residing in Paris to submit an official permit request to local authorities for organizing a “manifestation” (demonstration). This confirms the group leaders in France understand the importance of legal procedures to coordinate any public action there.
In contrast, public observers note that this behavior contradicts the approach adopted by supporters of the same movement within Morocco, which relies almost entirely on digital activism and anonymous calls, without any real or responsible body capable of communicating with Moroccan authorities. They emphasize that Moroccan law also guarantees the freedom of assembly and peaceful protest, provided the established procedures are respected—most importantly, submitting a prior declaration to local authorities, which ensures protesters’ safety and the protection of public and private property.
This divergence in approaches raises serious questions about the movement’s goals and strategy: Why is there a commitment to respecting the law in France, while legal channels available in Morocco—which would ensure the right to protest within a democratic, legal, and safe framework for all—are ignored?
