Deputies have asked the head of government, Saâdeddine El Othmani, to exempt low-income families from paying water, electricity and Internet bills during this period marked by the closure of non-essential activities.
The deputies urged the government to work to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the lives of low-income Moroccan families. They asked that internet connection be free for students to allow them to continue their studies remotely.
