Morocco Faces Unemployment and Youth Apathy

The article discusses the upcoming legislative elections in Morocco scheduled for September 23rd, during which 395 members of the House of Representatives will be elected from among 27 participating parties. The elections are taking place amid a growing shift towards digital voting and a low voter turnout, especially among young people, with only 15% of those aged 25-34 and 4% of those aged 18-24 participating. The elections face significant challenges related to declining trust in institutions and political parties, driven by difficult economic conditions such as an unemployment rate reaching 9.5%, with over 27% among youth, despite the economy growing by 5% last year and preparations underway to host the 2030 World Cup. Parties, particularly the National Rally for Independence and the Authenticity and Modernity Party, are striving to maintain their positions amid intense competition, while some groups are calling for a boycott of the vote, believing that the competitive conditions are neither fair nor democratic. The elections serve as a test of the political class's ability to regain voters' trust and achieve tangible results to improve their lives.
