Moroccan Regime Strangles Independent Unions: General Confederation of Labour Exposes State-Orchestrated Social Repression

ALGIERS โ€“ February 20, 2026 โ€“ Tensions over labor freedoms in Morocco have intensified as the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) issued a scathing open letter to the Moroccan Prime Minister and the ministers of Education and Health, warning of an escalating, systematic crackdown on independent trade unions. The CGT directly accused the Moroccan state apparatus, with the Ministry of Interior at the forefront, of attempting to reshape the union landscape to serve the power structures while marginalizing non-aligned organizations.

The letter, highlighting the depth of Moroccoโ€™s mounting social crisis, underscores a stark divergence between official rhetoric promoting rights and freedoms and the actual practices of the regime, which have effectively hollowed out union autonomy. Since its establishment in 2014, the CGT reports facing continuous administrative and political obstacles, including deliberate delays in issuing foundational and renewal documentation, the imposition of punitive requirements regarding offices and funding, and systematic exclusion from social dialogue under the pretext of โ€œgreater representativenessโ€ โ€“ a strategy critics describe as an engineered union map โ€œtailored to power.โ€

In detailing the reality of labor organization, the CGT cataloged a series of violations against its activists in key sectors, including dismissals, harassment, disciplinary proceedings, and the creation of a pervasive climate of fear at workplaces. Meanwhile, pro-regime unions receive privileges and protection. The Education and Health sectors have been particularly affected: the CGT reports that the National Education Union was denied legal recognition for over a year, activists faced fabricated cases, and union leaders in health were stripped of professional rights โ€“ clear evidence, according to the CGT, of a security-dominated approach to social governance.

The confederation warns that this policy targets not only its organization but strikes at the very heart of social mediation in Morocco, undermining independent unions and eroding workersโ€™ trust in collective representation. Analysts suggest that continued suppression could provoke widespread social unrest in a country already facing deteriorating economic conditions and growing inequality.

The CGT concludes by urging the Moroccan government to halt the bureaucratic and security overreach into constitutional rights, guarantee freedom of association and union membership without fear of retaliation, and recognize that respect for dignity and social justice remains essential for genuine development in a nation where social fragility and inequality are escalating.
