With Morocco's legislative elections scheduled for September 23, 2026, an advocacy note is calling on the country's political parties to incorporate migration and asylum issues into their electoral platforms. The note, issued by a coalition of civil society organizations, emphasizes the need for clear commitments on these topics.
The document, whose authors were not named in the source article, argues that migration and asylum have become critical issues for Morocco, given its role as a transit and destination country. It urges parties to propose concrete measures that align with international standards and Morocco's national interests.
According to the note, the upcoming elections present an opportunity for parties to demonstrate their commitment to human rights and effective governance. It calls for policies that address the protection of migrants and refugees, while also considering the socio-economic impacts on local communities.
As of August 16, 2026, no major party has publicly responded to the note. The advocacy effort reflects growing pressure on political actors to address these complex challenges ahead of the vote.
