On May 1, a burning and long -awaited opportunity by activists to put the workers’ claims all the way. A change felt? Admittedly, but the path is strewn with pitfalls … To this effect, the Party of Progress and Socialism (PPS) delivers a poignant indictment against the socio-economic policy of the current government. Through a detailed press release, the party pays tribute to the national and international laborious class, while calling for a strong mobilization in the face of what it calls “threatening neoliberal drift”.
The PPS opens its message with a warm salvation addressed to all workers around the world, by expressing them ” its high consideration for their vital roles at the service of nations and peoples ». True to its principles, the party celebrates this May 1 as an opportunity for resistance and solidarity, stressing the importance of social fighting for dignity, freedom and justice.
The party also seizes the opportunity to highlight the tense geopolitical context, marked by uncertainty, armed conflicts, inflation, the rise of populisms, the closure of borders and the progression of political extremes. A global climate which, according to the PPS, impacts hard ” workers, laborious classes and popular strata “, First victims of a globalized capitalism that has become uncontrollable.
In its press release, the PPS expresses its ” total support “To the Palestinian working class and the Palestinian people as a whole, faced with” an extermination war waged by the Zionist entity ». The party reaffirms its attachment to the Palestinian cause and the inalienable law of this people to self -determination, peace and freedom.
But it is at the national level that the bottom hurts and where the press release takes a particularly incisive turn. The PPS brush a painting “sombre“Of the economic and social situation which he describes as” disturbing “, Or even” critique ».
Among the ailments denounced: the vertiginous fall in purchasing power, a direct consequence of inflation and prices, combined with the explosion of unemployment marked by the disappearance of hundreds of thousands of jobs. Direct result: the collapse of the entrepreneurial fabric, with the asphyxiation of small and medium -sized enterprises.
On the union level, the PPS points to the repeated attacks against freedoms of expression, and degradation of working conditions, something which led to a failure of social dialogue, which, according to the party, has become an empty shell, without regularity or credibility. According to the party’s words, this situation risks diverting the reform of social protection, put at the service of powerful economic interest groups.
The PPS thus accuses the executive of showing arrogance, self -satisfaction and denial of reality, preferring ” justify failure “Rather than” take courageous and effective measures ». Worse still, he points to the trivialization of clientelism, rent, conflict of interest and corruption, which, according to him, “practices” normalized ».
Faced with this situation, the PPS advances a battery of proposals and claims, with a view to rebuilding an inclusive and equitable economic model.
The party requires in particular: the immediate implementation of measures with high social impact, by reinjecting the tax revenues generated by inflation in support for purchasing power, the revival of social dialogue at all levels on serious and institutionalized bases, the reform of the pension system, which should be, according to the party, ” global, fair, sustainable and beneficial for workers and retirees ».
Not that, the party also claims to adopt a protective legal framework, guaranteeing union rights, professional equality and dignity to work, the improvement of working conditions, in particular by the promulgation of a specific law on occupational diseases, the generalization of compensation for loss of employment and the fight against the precariousness of employment, as well as massive support for very small businesses.
And to boost change, the PPS claims the implementation of a national industrial strategy, modern and respectful of ecological requirements, the moralization of economic life, by a rigorous application of the rule of law against rent, favoritism and the shadow economy. Aware of female efforts, the book party requires effective recognition of gender equality.
Beyond technical proposals, the PPS calls for a collective start, by urging the national union movement to ” strengthen “And to intensify the struggle actions” in a logic of a social and democratic social front ». He also invites all of his activists to take part in the celebrations of May 1sts across the country, to make them ” A strong moment of popular mobilization and social solidarity ».
The party also pays a supported tribute to Moroccan workers residing abroad, welcoming their attachment to the country and their contribution to national development. Likewise, he sends a fraternal greeting to foreign workers established in Morocco, which he considers to be fully part of the Moroccan working class.
The PPS calls for registering social struggles in a broader political vision, that of “ the consolidation of democracy and reconciliation between citizens and public affairs ». Defense of workers’ rights is, according to the party, inseparable from the fight for a Morocco ” free, strong, independent, democratic and prosperous ».
