Growing Disconnection Between Youth and Political Engagement in Morocco
As Morocco approaches its legislative elections, a significant trend has emerged where the youth population increasingly distances itself from both the electoral process and political parties. This detachment is particularly concerning, especially in light of last year’s alarm raised by the Gen Z 212 movement, which demanded greater social justice, job opportunities, and fair access to public services. Despite these calls for action, many young Moroccans seem disengaged from a political landscape that they perceive as unresponsive to their needs and aspirations.
The disconnect between the younger generation and established political entities highlights a growing sentiment of disillusionment. Young people, who represent a substantial portion of the Moroccan population, are voicing their concerns about the lack of trust in political parties and their effectiveness in addressing pressing issues such as unemployment and equitable access to services. This trend raises important questions about the future of political representation in Morocco and how political leaders can effectively engage with the youth to restore their faith in the electoral process.
