The Executive Bureau of the Democratic Confederation of Labour (CTD), at its last meeting, described the verdicts issued for the Jarada prisoners' as harsh and subjective against these young people who asked for the improvement of their living conditions.
In light of these verdicts, the executive leadership asked the state to review its developmental model, which proved to be a failure, and called for the adoption of a real development approach that would achieve the social justice requirements.
In its communiqué, the Executive Office renewed its demand for a tax policy, that would establish tax justice as a mechanism for the redistribution. It also recommended to listen to the small and medium traders’ demands and their objective constraints in any tax procedure that would affect them.
The Executive Office expressed its solidarity and support for all the struggles of the confederate workers in the taxis’ sector of Fez, local communities, health and education, all agricultural estates, the Casablanca Aviation Company and all the sectors struggling to achieve their just and legitimate demands.
The Executive Office condemned all forms of systematic restrictions on the trade union freedoms and the targeting of the confederate activists, stressing that this scheme of targeting will not discourage the continuation of the struggle for the working class rights.
In this regard, it called for the halt of all forms of interference with the trade union officials, including the counsellor Abdel Haqq Hisan, Abdullah Rahmoun, a member of the Executive Office and the General Secretary of the local confederation of Agadir, Mohamed Lkotaib, and the General Secretary of the local union in Essaouira.
