8. SOUNDBITE: (French) Thouriya Lahrech, executive committe member of CDT union (Confederation Democratique du Travail):

STORYLINE:
Thousands of members of two of Morocco's largest labor unions have marched through the capital to protest against the Islamist-led government's planned economic reforms and failure to stem unemployment and inflation.
Calling for the departure of Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane, union members dressed in bright yellow baseball caps and smocks marched through Rabat on Sunday in a light rain.
Benkirane's moderate Islamist party won the most seats in elections following pro-democracy uprisings in 2011, and he took the helm of the government promising to fight corruption and address the North African country's huge gap between rich and poor.
His fractious coalition has achieved little, however, and is currently embroiled in the sensitive process of reforming the massive subsidies and pension systems.
The protesters were particularly irate over government plans to reform laws dealing with labor unions, including docking the pay of strikers and measures that the government says would increase transparency in union finances.
Despite some reforms following the 2011 Arab Spring demonstrations, true power in Morocco lies with the monarchy and those close to it.
Benkirane has repeatedly blamed what he called remnants of the previous government in the bureaucracy and administration for blocking his reform efforts.

In order to recycle the money generated from drug trafficking, the narco-traffickers proceed to money laundering through different operations. Criminals frequently INVEST in real estate projects or insurance contracts, very often in countries where the legislation remains vague and the opportunities numerous, such as in Morocco for instance. The easy acquisition of property facilitates money laundering. Moreover, besides the ease of acquisition, it is the high level of economic benefits that appeals to the traffickers[ii]. This type of acquisition is hardly detectable due to the absence of any central data or registry. Unscrupulous brokers may also provide insurance INVESTMENTS in exchange for financial favors[iii]. Additionally, the large number of Moroccans living in the suburbs of Paris, Amsterdam, and London creates opportunities and incentives for the many unemployed to become part of such illegal trafficking between Africa and Europe[iv]. The current European economic crisis, which is also affecting Morocco, only encourages Rabat’s postponement of any effort to eradicate money laundering, which plays an important part in Morocco’s national economy.
Despite genuine concerns from the European Union and the United States to eradicate all trafficking in both their respective territory and in Africa, they, as well as international institutions such as the IMF and the World BANK appear to have a rather lax approach. Indeed, as Champin underlines, on the one hand, the latter impose conditions for their aid, but on the other hand, they close their eyes to countries where money laundering is endemic, such as is the case with Morocco[v].
Consequently, despite the fact that Morocco is often highlighted for its lax concern over the cultivation of hashish and money laundering, it is currently difficult and improbable that Morocco would make much of an effort to contain drug trafficking and all the illegal activities associated with it. In these times of an economic crisis, it is unlikely that the Moroccan government would reject other sources of FUNDS susceptible to bail out the state’s coffers (seven percent of budget deficit in 2013), which in turn contribute to the national economy.
Despite its relative healthy macro-economic situation, the country keeps attracting foreign INVESTMENTS. Unlike Tunisia or Egypt, Morocco’s tourism remains competitive. However, the Moroccan economy remains largely anchored and dependent on the European Union. The geographical proximity and historical and socio-migrant exchanges between the two shores of the Mediterranean Mare Nostrum can only aggravate the situation. Also in this geostrategic space stretching from the Sahel to the European Union, Morocco is a central link, which has also become a zone of transshipment for the transportation of drugs to Europe. As the different drug seizures in Spain and France indicate, the connection between the Moroccan and European drug traffickers remains very strong and appears to be far from fading.

International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief Christine Lagarde said on Friday that the organisation was monitoring events in Ukraine closely as tension in the east of the country continues to mount.
The IMF has just given a first tranche of bailout funds of around 3.2 (b) billion US dollars to Ukraine after receiving undertakings of financial reforms from the state.
"We strongly wish and hope that the Ukrainian authorities will respect their engagements of the the programme in an international environment, an environment we hope will bring more stability and less uncertainty than we see today," Lagarde said.
Lagarde was at the end of a three day visit to the North African kingdom of Morocco where she met political leaders and the King.

Natural Sound
European Union leaders in Cannes have agreed on an aid funding package for North Africa and the Middle East.
The package had provoked a north-south rift among E.U. states. Germany, which foots a large portion of the Union budget bill, wanted a substantial aid package for its neighbours in central and eastern Europe and insisted on capping funding for the North African countries.
APTV now reports on Morocco - one of the countries desperately in need of aid to develop its ailing economy.
A portion of the 6 (bn) billion dollar aid package from the 15-nation European Union will go to develop the ailing economy of Morocco.
Spain and France have pushed the Union to fund aid to its Southern neighbours, hoping to halt the influx of illegal immigrants.
Unemployment In Morocco is chronically high with 50 percent of those under 30 out of work.
This has lead to scores of would-be immigrant workers looking at their northern neighbours with a mix of envy and desperation.
The European Union has tightened up immigration regulations to stem the flow of migrant workers, so those that can't get a visa through the proper channels, often enter illegally across the Straits of Gibraltar.
Morocco's economy has always been dominated by agriculture, but following five years of drought the industry is in tatters. Aid is needed to assist in irrigation plans.
The booming tourist trade of the 70's and 80's is also in decline.
So far Morocco has been spared from the Islamic fundamentalism that is tearing at its Algerian neighbour but without help to repair the economy many fear it too might be ripe for a religious revolution.
