FNTT union accuses Minister Aamara of hindering its efforts to save Morocco’s tourism transportation sector

The National Federation for Tourism Transportation (FNTT) has recently claimed that Morocco’s Minister of Equipment, Transport and Logistics, Abdelkader Aamara, is actually hindering the ongoing efforts to save the tourism sector in our country, as it held him fully responsible for “any potential repercussions that are likely to occur”, if the latter keeps turning his back to the FNTT’s calls.

“The tourism transportation sector in Morocco has been enduring an unprecedented stifling crisis due to the Coronavirus, requiring urgent interventions to adapt the laws in force to the new situation imposed by the pandemic; however, the Minister of Equipment, transport and logistics, chose to deliberately treat this matter with absolute disregard, despite the FNTT’s continuous correspondences to the Minister in charge”, the FNTT declared in its statement.

“Moreover, the federation agreed upon its meetings with a number of Ministerial officials on a series of measures to be adapted to the current situation; yet none were implemented, for the Minister in charge refused to approve any”, the FNTT noted in its statement, titled “Where did the Minister of Equipment, Transport, and Logistics disappear?”

In light of the above, the FNTT called on Aamara to respond vividly and urgently to its calls, and held him fully responsible for any potential repercussions that are likely to occur if the latter keeps disregarding the federation’s demands. The FNTT has also stressed that it is committed to defend the rights of professionals within the tourism transportation sector.

In addition, the FNTT stated its readiness to take matters into the next level, by organizing a series of protests before the Ministry’s interests in several Moroccan cities.
