As part of this campaign, these activists launched the hashtag #no_to_higher_prices_in_Morocco. It started gaining momentum on social media, after being shared by thousands of Moroccans on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram demanding the end of the increase in food prices which have seriously affected the purchasing power of Moroccan consumers, especially vulnerable groups. This campaign puts the blame on the Akhannouch government and denounces its silence on what was happening.
Akhannouch's government is driving Morocco insane into abyss.
There is no need for a government that does not guarantee a decent life for the citizens.
