The State supports professionals, individuals must “assume the costs”

In order not to remain the arms crossed waiting In the face of “the rise in fuel prices”, the government has decided to financially support road transport professionals to preserve the prices of transport for citizens and goods, explained government spokesman Mustapha Baitas.

In response to a question during the press briefing at the end of the Government Council this Thursday, April 7, Mustapha Baitas explained that the government has decided to launch the process of support for road transport professionals, some 180,000 vehicles, given the increase in fuel prices which reached 15 DH/L this week in several cities of the Kingdom. The support varies between 1,600 DH and 7,000 DH per vehicle, according to a press release from the Ministry of Transport.

” This is the first operation of this kind carried out by the government in the history of the management of this fuel file in our country, since the liberalization of fuel prices. This is the first time that the government has supported transport professionals“, welcomed Mustapha Baitas.

This financial assistance began to be paid gradually to eligible professionals a few days ago, the government official said.

Why road transport professionals in particular? The government spokesman was adamant. ” The government’s choice was clear. Help transport professionals to preserve the prices of transport of citizens and goods. For those who travel in their car, they only have to bear the costs “, he decided.

But not only ! The government spokesman claimed that he is” quite normal, in the context of our relations with the unions in the transport sector, that we do not do something exceptional. But the dialogue continues, almost daily meetings are held between the ministry concerned and the unions. And these meetings will give us an idea which will be the basis of a bilateral agreement”said the government spokesman.

Thus, and ” so that the government does not stand idly by waiting, at least we have launched this operation which has had great support from transport professionals“, he argued.
