The “Generation Z-212” movement revealed a comprehensive document on Thursday outlining its demands that form the basis of its ongoing youth protests since September 27 in several Moroccan cities.

In the document titled “A Demands File for Moroccan Youth: For the Activation of the Constitutional Contract and the Achievement of the Ambitions of the New Development Model,” the movement stated that these demands represent “a practical roadmap to activate constitutionally guaranteed rights and address structural crises affecting Moroccan youth’s lives,” emphasizing that they are “not a wishlist but realistic solutions to build a welfare state and equal opportunities.”

The document is based on Article 31 of the constitution, which guarantees “the right to treatment and healthcare,” calling for a comprehensive reform of the health sector through the immediate implementation of the Supreme Audit Institution’s recommendations and establishing a transparent model based on performance and accountability.

It also calls for an urgent plan to qualify health human capital through training, employment, and retention of staff, providing incentives to work in remote areas, raising the health budget to internationally recommended levels, directing spending towards primary care and hospital modernization, as well as preparing a national mental health plan.

The movement also demanded an urgent review of the national reference tariff for medical services to reduce citizens’ direct expenses from 50% to 25%, “so that health insurance does not remain merely formal,” as they put it.

In education, “Generation Z” called for the full implementation of Framework Law 51.17 through a fully funded, time-bound roadmap, moving from “limited pilot projects to comprehensive and systematic reform.”

They also demanded a radical revision of curricula to enhance critical thinking, digital skills, and citizenship education, and to empower teaching staff through continuous training investment and improving their financial and social conditions.

Regarding higher education, they called for a comprehensive and stable national charter for university reform based on genuine dialogue involving professors, students, and experts to end what they described as “repeated and ill-considered changes.”

Economically, the movement called for a strategic reorientation of the national economy towards high value-added sectors such as technology, the green economy, and advanced industries through targeted investments and tax incentives, alongside removing bureaucratic obstacles facing startups.

They proposed issuing a law to support youth entrepreneurship ensuring access to initial funding, guidance, and support, in addition to a comprehensive labor market reform focusing on youth protection, encouraging formal employment, and aligning training programs with the needs of the modern economy.

The movement also demanded the immediate activation of government and judiciary recommendations and decisions; in this context, they called for “transparency in public procurement: implementing a fully digital and transparent system that closes all channels of favoritism and clientelism, a major source of corruption.”

The document dedicated significant attention to transparency and anti-corruption, calling for:

• Empowering oversight bodies by ensuring full political and financial independence for the National Integrity Authority and the Supreme Audit Institution.
• Fully digitizing public procurement to close channels of clientelism and favoritism.
• Strengthening judicial independence in major corruption cases and activating internal accountability mechanisms.
• Expanding the mandatory asset declaration system to include all senior officials, with public disclosure of summaries.
• Immediate enactment of the illicit enrichment law, placing it at the top of the legislative agenda, considering its absence “the biggest loophole in the anti-corruption system.”

The document concluded with a fourth chapter titled “Activating Political Responsibility as a Necessary Condition for Transitioning to a Better Morocco,” in which the movement demanded the resignation of the current government, considering this demand “not a populist slogan but a logical result of constitutional activation.”

“Generation Z” stated that the government “failed to fulfill its constitutional obligations stipulated in Article 31, to translate the royal vision into effective public policies, and to achieve the goals of the new development model.”

They added that reports from the Supreme Audit Institution, the High Planning Commission, and the Integrity Authority “constitute official testimonies to this comprehensive failure in vital sectors.”
