Moroccan bar associations have announced a week-long strike, beginning June 15th, in response to statements made by a government minister regarding legal professionals. The Association of Moroccan Bars convened in Rabat on June 10th to denounce what they perceive as damage to the profession’s image during discussions surrounding legal reform and social security coverage. The strike is a direct reaction to comments made by Minister Ouahbi, the specifics of which have not been detailed in this report. Alongside the work stoppage, lawyers plan to submit a formal protest to the Head of Government. The associations aim to demonstrate their discontent and advocate for the profession’s interests amidst ongoing debates. This action signals growing tension between the legal community and the government regarding the future of the legal profession in Morocco.
