As per reports, several Moroccan trade unions have announced a national general strike on Wednesday (05 February) and Thursday (06 February). The strike is in response to the government’s proposed regulatory law on strikes, which unions claim restricts constitutional rights.
• Four major trade union organizations are leading the protest, including the Democratic Confederation of Labour and the National Labour Union of Morocco.
• The strike will affect all sectors across the country, disrupting businesses and public services.
• Union representatives accuse the government of ignoring social and economic issues such as unemployment and inflation.
• The government is criticized for pushing the draft law without engaging in dialogue with unions or addressing worker concerns.
• Union leaders warn that this strike is only the beginning, and further protests may follow if the government does not reconsider its stance.
• The strike reflects broader discontent among Moroccan workers over government policies affecting labour rights.
