Legislative hurdles for new Parliament
The new Moroccan Parliament faces significant legislative challenges as it begins its twelfth legislative term. The most prominent of these is the discussion of the 2027 Finance Bill, which must be submitted before October 20th. Its aim is to fund social, health, and educational policies while monitoring deficits and debts. Legal reforms are also awaited, including revisions to the Family Code, encompassing issues such as underage marriage and custody arrangements. Additionally, there is a review of the Penal Code, focusing exclusively on updating sanctions and communication regulations on social media networks, alongside the adoption of other laws such as the pension systems and labor code, which rely on results from social dialogue. Furthermore, sector-specific bills are on the agenda, including reforms in healthcare and local authorities, as well as the occupational law for lawyers, which has recently come into force. Challenges regarding its implementation remain at the forefront. The Parliament will need to prioritize between immediate legislation and comprehensive reforms that require consensus, to ensure the effective enactment of laws that reflect citizens’ demands and developmental needs.
