Mustafa Benali, Secretary-General of the Democratic Forces Front party, has urged Morocco’s bar associations to reconsider their decision to suspend court services and legal aid. This action stems from the implementation of Law 66.23, which regulates the legal profession. Benali addressed the issue during a party meeting in Rabat, stating an understanding of the lawyers’ concerns regarding their defense. He appealed for a return to the courts to maintain the functionality of the judicial system and access to justice for citizens. The boycott impacts the provision of legal assistance to those who rely on it. Benali’s intervention signifies a political attempt to mediate and resolve the ongoing dispute between lawyers and the government regarding the new law. The hope is for a swift resolution to ensure continued legal representation for all.
