Morocco campaign postpones destruction of signatures until September

The "National Campaign Committee for the Return to Legal Time" in Morocco has decided to delay the destruction of collected signature lists until September. This decision comes after the government, led by Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch, announced a return to standard Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) in June.

“

The decision to postpone until the end of the summer holiday was made because most regional and local coordinators are on holiday, making it impossible to collect all signature documents.

The committee, which had been gathering signatures from the public, committed to destroying the documents according to legal procedures. However, Mohssin El Ouedwari, the committee's representative, explained that the delay is necessary because many regional and local coordinators are on holiday. This has made it impossible to gather all the signature documents for central processing and destruction.

“

The destruction process will respect the personal data of citizens and preserve the trust they have placed in this civil initiative.

El Ouedwari emphasized that the destruction process will respect the personal data of citizens, preserving the trust placed in this civil initiative. While most coordinators have completed their tasks, a few still need to submit their lists. The committee plans to resume these final steps soon after the summer break, aiming for a unified and comprehensive destruction under the supervision of a judicial officer. This measure is intended to protect citizens' data from potential misuse and uphold transparency in the campaign's dealings.

We chose to dispose of it legally to protect it.
