Human rights advocates in Morocco and social reforms in Tunisia

In Morocco, the Mediator for Democracy and Human Rights has issued a memorandum to the newly designated head of government, Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri. The organization is calling for the release of individuals detained during social protests, reforms to public liberty laws, and the acceleration of the Family Code reform. The memorandum emphasizes that government success should be measured by the tangible impact of public policies on citizens' rights and living conditions rather than the mere number of laws passed.

In Tunisia, President Kaïs Saïed outlined priorities for the 2027 finance bill during a Council of Ministers meeting. Saïed stated that the upcoming budget should focus on social justice and reducing the tax burden on citizens. He emphasized that investment requires an environment of equity and that public action must prioritize the human dimension, asserting that ‘citizens are not mere figures’.
