Marrakech tourism transport professionals are demanding financial measures to save them from bankruptcy!

 

Tourism transport bosses and professionals organized from Thursday, August 13th till now, in Marrakech, a protest stand at the invitation of the National Tourist Transport Federation to an open strike in various Moroccan tourist cities.

The protesters' cars were lined up along the street across from the state of the region, waving banners calling for regularization of their situation, attention to their problems resulting from their stoppage of work due to the pandemic, and saving them from the imminent risk of bankruptcy.

Abdel Rahman El Hayani, the regional general secretary of the National Federation of Tourist Transport in Marrakech, said that the strike, in which more than 520 professionals participated, is a clear message to the Moroccan government about standing side by side in order to defend their legitimate demands in light of the Corona pandemic.

The same spokesman added to the newspaper, that the affected people are demanding tax exemption for this “white” year after they stopped working, reconsidering the very high insurance rate on their cars, reviewing bank loans, in addition to the need to continue supporting the National Social Security Fund for them.

The National Tourist Transport Federation considered, in a communiqué calling for a strike, a practical response to the failure of the custodians to activate the contents of their demand file despite the explicit royal directives to protect the companies most affected by the pandemic.

The National Federation called for activating the provisions of the agreement concluded to schedule the debts of professional companies and their employees, as well as calling on financial institutions to engage in national solidarity.
