Join on Telegram Rabat – Morocco’s ruling coalition is set to hold an expanded meeting today to examine urgent measures in response to the demands voiced by the country’s Generation Z protests that started on September 27.
The announcement was made by Nizar Baraka, Secretary General of the Istiqlal Party, and also a member of the current government, during his appearance on 2M’s television program “Nkouno Wadhin.”
Baraka stated that the coalition partners are preparing to review a set of measures already drafted and to introduce improvements across key social sectors.
He also emphasized that the government remains open to “all proposals that could help calm the situation,” pointing to the importance of listening to public grievances and coordinating across ministries to deliver concrete and effective solutions.
Growing pressure from youth protests
The meeting comes as youth-led demonstrations continue in several Moroccan cities, with protesters calling for deep reforms to public services, particularly healthcare and education, along with better living conditions, job creation, and stronger action against corruption.
The presidency of the government majority reiterated its “full understanding” of the concerns raised by young citizens and expressed readiness to respond in a “positive and responsible” manner.
It also stressed the need to establish structured dialogue channels within institutions and public spaces.
Last Tuesday, Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch chaired a meeting of the governing coalition in which the parties pledged to jointly address the protesters’ demands.
The government signaled willingness to engage constructively with the movement, which has largely been peaceful and decentralized, reflecting widespread frustration over socio-economic inequalities and governance gaps.
Although the government has reiterated its readiness to listen to young people and find concrete solutions, many protesters say they have lost all faith in the current leadership.
Across online forums and demonstrations, voices from the Gen Z movement insist that the crisis of trust has gone too far to be mended through promises or partial reforms.
Instead, they are calling for the complete dismantling of the current government and the formation of a new one capable of rebuilding credibility and addressing the country’s structural problems with transparency and accountability.
