In Morocco, taxis (again) in anger

The unions did not take long to react. The general secretary of the Moroccan Democratic Union of Transport has described this return as "unacceptable". He believes that this approach risks intensifying tensions and increasing the pace of sit-ins and demonstrations across the country. For the union representative, this situation constitutes a persistence in circumventing the laws in force, accusing the authorities of keeping silent in the face of these practices deemed illegal.

"We totally refuse this return"

In Marrakech, the tone is just as firm, indicates Hespress. The president of the Marrakech Association of Taxi Drivers has expressed his total rejection of Uber’s presence in the ochre city. He said he was surprised by this decision taken "without any prior coordination" with the professionals or the local authorities, evoking gray areas around this file.

Sector representatives have already begun to organize to retaliate. Meetings have been held to define the steps of an escalation and coordinate the actions to defend the sector. Professionals consider this return as an explicit challenge to the laws governing transport and promise to take the necessary measures to protect their interests as soon as possible.
