Morocco Elections Amid Economic Challenges
Morocco has announced upcoming legislative elections scheduled for September 23rd amidst an economic and social crisis characterized by rising unemployment rates reaching 9.5% overall, and 27% among youth aged 15 to 24. There is a decline in citizens' trust in political work and an increase in voter abstention, with 16 million Moroccans not participating. The elections face challenges related to high unemployment rates, especially among young people, previous protests and demonstrations, as well as deteriorating political relations with Israel and social tensions. Many Moroccans express rejection of normalization policies with the Zionist entity and prefer to stay out of the political scene, reflecting a crisis of trust and a wave of popular anger.
