Fes Branch of the National Union of Moroccan Journalists Takes a Stand Against Targeted Campaigns
Fes, Morocco - In a statement released on October 20, 2026, the local office of the National Union of Moroccan Journalists (SNPM) in Fes strongly condemned what it described as a campaign targeting its leadership. This condemnation follows the unauthorized dissemination of internal correspondence and the promotion of misleading interpretations outside the approved organizational channels. The union emphasized that such actions are inconsistent with the ethical standards and organizational rules governing union work.
The SNPM office articulated its concern that the circulation of positions and statements outside their intended contexts could undermine the unity of the union and damage its credibility and independence. The statement expressed astonishment at what it perceived as a lack of understanding of the laws and regulations that guide union activities. It reiterated that while differing opinions are a legitimate right, they should be expressed in a manner that respects organizational structures and adheres to established mechanisms for managing union affairs, rather than through defamation or targeted campaigns.
Moreover, the union warned that these campaigns could evolve into instruments serving agendas aimed at compromising the independence of union operations or subjecting them to oversight and control pressures. The SNPM categorically rejected any practices that infringe upon the freedom of union decision-making and the independence of its organizational bodies.
The Fes branch reaffirmed its unwavering support for the union's leadership, calling upon all members to uphold the organization's unity and prioritize its professional interests. This call for solidarity aims to foster a collective sense of responsibility and maintain the cohesion of the union framework. In conclusion, the local office reiterated that the independence of union decision-making and the unity of the organization are non-negotiable principles. It stressed that protecting the organization requires adherence to internal laws and regulations and managing differences within a responsible institutional framework that upholds the union's prestige and credibility.
