On social networks, indignation is in full swing! “At a time when the Kingdom is suffering the devastation of one of the worst disasters in its history, certain operators are still not part of the surge of solidarity that the country is experiencing.”
It is by using these same words that Internet users and transport professionals point out the prices at the pump which continue to be close to the heights, despite the current context, marked by the massive influx of road hauliers, and others, towards the disaster areas to provide aid to victims.
In its statement, the National Union of Road Transport Professionals said that “oil companies have not bothered to reduce fuel prices in the current circumstances, to contribute to the delivery of aid to the affected areas by the Al-Haouz earthquake.
The prices of diesel and unleaded fuel exceed 14 and 15 dirhams respectively, which makes the cost of vehicle travel high. “The problem is not in the journey to Marrakech, where traffic is normal, but rather in the paths to the affected villages.
We have to drive slowly and carefully, which doubles the consumption of our vehicles,” explains a professional, who, since last Saturday, has made three return trips from Rabat to the Al-Haouz regions. For the moment, oil operators, who are currently under the microscope of the Competition Council after the consecutive increases in August, have not yet made an official statement regarding the special measures concerning the Al earthquake. -Haouz.
ADM se mobilise
Furthermore, Internet users also criticized the National Highway Company of Morocco (ADM), arguing that it should open the barriers to trucks dedicated to aid. But the fact remains that it has mobilized in its own way by announcing that toll revenues, during this period, will be paid to the Special Fund for managing the effects of the earthquake.
ADM also clarified that this initiative is distinct from its own contribution to the National Fund. It is part of the spirit of solidarity advocated by His Majesty King Mohammed VI and which mobilizes the nation to support the victims of this tragedy.
