Moroccan Party Leader Urges Cannabis Law Reform to Protect Small Farmers

Drug barons would force small farmers to sell their land cheaply in order to expand their cannabis cultivation, reports the daily Assabah. For Mohand Laenser, this practice of drug traffickers aims to distort the meaning of the state reform that legalized cannabis for medical, pharmaceutical and industrial use. According to the leader of the Harakis, the MP intends to defend the interests of small farmers whose living conditions will improve with the law on the legal use of cannabis. To allow this law to truly contribute to the development of the region, he has called on the MP groups in the two Houses of Parliament to amend this law in order to improve its content.

Mohand Laenser also defends teachers

In addition, Laenser also warned against a political recovery of the case of teachers in the academies. In an intervention before the National Council of his party, he declared that these "petty actions harm the interests of the country and hinder the development of the advanced regionalization provided for by the Constitution of the Kingdom". "The Moroccan school must not be exploited as a card in the political game, because this undermines the interests of the country and the students," he added, recalling the urgency of extending regional recruitment to all sectors.

The Harakis leader did not fail to commend the efforts of teachers and executives in the academies in improving the education system and implementing the framework law on education. He also expressed his support for the government in its "strategic choice" of advanced regionalization of teacher recruitment.
