The scandal that has rocked the Provisional Commission overseeing press and publishing in Morocco for several weeks continues to fuel opposition attacks against the government, a tension that was on full display during Monday’s session in the House of Representatives.
In its 2025 World Press Freedom Index, Reporters Without Borders has ranked Morocco 120th out of 180 countries, marking a modest rise despite ongoing concerns about government control over media. The report highlights significant pressures on independent journalists under Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch's government.
