Representatives of Moroccan road transport professionals for goods have sent a letter to the Head of Government, requesting urgent intervention to settle the outstanding exceptional support payments and release the delayed financial entitlements as soon as possible. The unions clarified that the continued delay in disbursing the support exacerbates the financial burdens borne by professionals and companies.

The delay is particularly challenging given the continuous rise in fuel, maintenance, spare parts, and insurance costs, which increases pressure on financial liquidity and limits the ability to meet professional and social obligations. The situation also threatens the continuity of activity and job positions in the sector. The letter emphasized that the action aims to alleviate the hardship faced by professionals and ensure the continuity of companies.

The representatives called on the government to settle the outstanding payments and disburse the entitlements to Moroccan road transport professionals, ensuring that future payments are made regularly according to a clear and announced schedule. They also requested a responsible dialogue with the coordination representatives to reach practical solutions to the difficulties faced by sector workers.

The unions stressed that their movement seeks to remove harm from professionals and preserve the continuity of companies, ensuring the stability of the road transport sector for goods, which is one of the fundamental pillars of the national economy. The sector plays a crucial role in maintaining the flow of goods and services across the country.

The request comes as professionals and companies in the sector face increasing financial pressures. Rising operational costs have significantly impacted the sector, making it difficult for companies to maintain their activities and meet their obligations. The unions believe that the government's intervention is essential to address these challenges.

The situation has sparked concerns about the potential impact on the national economy, given the importance of the road transport sector in facilitating the movement of goods. The sector's stability is crucial for maintaining economic activity and ensuring the smooth supply of goods and services.

The government has yet to comment on the request, but the unions remain hopeful that their concerns will be addressed. They emphasized their commitment to finding a solution that benefits all parties involved and ensures the long-term sustainability of the sector.
