COVID-19 Pandemic Erodes Moroccan Social Model as Public Opinion Shifts

60% is the rate of people who have seen their income reduced according to the survey carried out. But the authorities did not take the signals into account during this pandemic. A situation that had consequences for many citizens.

The strategy put in place is not delivering the expected results. From July 2020, it has derailed with a resurgence of contaminations and a progression in the number of deaths. But the Ministry of Health has not yet spoken out on these two phenomena.

Impoverishment, fear and criticism are all reasons that have caused the social and mental structures to collapse, according to this Sunergia study for L’Economiste.

Surveys show that this new spontaneous social model generates distrust towards the government authorities, whereas there has never been so much public money spent to support Moroccan society before.
