Benjloun: Social wellbeing clashes with liberalization

The article features a critique by writer Mahmoud Omar Binjloun of the economic and social policies adopted by the Moroccan governments. He specifically addresses the issues related to the increases in fuel prices and the liberalization of prices, pointing out that these measures have led to higher transportation and production costs, as well as increased prices for essential goods. This situation harms households' purchasing power. He also states that direct support for basic commodities and transfer payments are insufficient to offset the impact of rising costs. Binjloun calls for implementing public policies that protect purchasing power and ensure access to basic services. Furthermore, he criticizes the direction of policies toward austerity, which are derived from international financial institution recommendations. He warns that these policies threaten investments in health and education and contribute to the erosion of social balance while widening the gap between social classes. In his concluding remarks, Binjloun warns about corruption and monopoly within political institutions. He advocates for active participation in elections to counteract financial influence and corruption. He emphasizes that policies should be oriented toward safeguarding citizens' fundamental rights and confronting economic and tax misconduct.
