Casablanca: the rumor that irritates merchants

False information claiming that Casablanca businesses had to close at 11 p.m. circulated widely in recent days. Local authorities and professionals categorically deny the existence of such a decision.

The rumor attributed to the regional wali, Mohamed Mhidia, the decision to impose nighttime closure on all commercial premises, with the exception of a few activities. Faced with the scale of these claims, verifications conducted by the media Goud with the city council and authorized sources established that no prefectural order was issued to that effect. The metropolis remains subject to the usual national legislation governing opening hours.

On the ground, the situation remains unchanged. A night tour conducted in the Sidi Belyout district made it possible to observe that merchants received no restrictive instructions and maintain their usual closing habits. Professionals in the sector corroborated this finding, denouncing a pure fabrication.
