Morocco's youth largely absent from upcoming parliamentary elections
One year after the Gen Z movement, Morocco's youth remain largely absent from parliamentary elections scheduled for September 23. Few Moroccans under 30 are running as candidates, and young voters are expected to show disillusionment through massive abstention. Unemployment and poor public services have fueled frustration among young people, who have felt ignored by political parties and institutions. Some young voters are being courted with football slogans, promises of jobs, and anti-Israel rallying calls, but overall, the election is failing to inspire.
