Morocco: Parking prices spark outrage

In Harhoura, the decision of the municipality to impose Parking Fee “Exorbitant” charges in a public car park on the street have sparked outrage among residents and holidaymakers. The measure, which coincides with the start of the summer holidays, is seen as an injustice, especially in a difficult economic climate.

The new rates, ranging from 5 dirhams for less than an hour to 23 dirhams for 24 hours, with a supplement of one dirham for each additional hour, have been strongly criticized. The monthly subscription, set at 400 dirhams during the day and 500 dirhams at night, has also sparked anger among residents.
