Petition to Cap Fuel Prices Complains of Difficulties in Signature Collection

A national petition in Morocco seeking to cap fuel prices and impose a variable tax is encountering significant obstacles in its signature collection drive. The initiative, aimed at addressing rising fuel costs, is struggling to gain the required public support.

According to Abdelati Arbiia, the national coordinator for the petition, the recent revision of electoral lists has created unforeseen difficulties. This electoral process, which took place between May 13 and July 10, has apparently diverted attention and resources, hindering the petition's momentum.

Arbiia stated that the timing of the electoral list revisions has had a clear impact on the pace of signature gathering. Organizers are reporting a slowdown in their efforts, raising concerns about their ability to meet the petition's goals within the desired timeframe.

The petition's objective is to introduce measures that would stabilize fuel prices for consumers. However, the logistical challenges highlighted by the campaign's coordinators suggest that achieving this goal may prove more difficult than initially anticipated.
