Solidarity with Palestine was renewed on Wednesday as students in preparatory classes for Morocco’s higher education schools held a strike across the country. The action was organized by the National Union of Preparatory Class Student Representatives amid the ongoing situation in the Gaza Strip.
In a national solidarity statement obtained by Hespress, the Union’s office declared: “In light of the continuing Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people, and with the intensification of daily massacres in Gaza, we, the preparatory class students, renew our absolute solidarity with the Palestinian cause.”
The statement added, “We reject silence in the face of ongoing violations against an unarmed people.”
The Union further emphasized that organizing national solidarity actions “does not require a specific time” and stems from a genuine desire for solidarity, “not for the purpose of justifying absence.” The statement noted, “We believe the Palestinian cause is a humanitarian issue with a moral character that surpasses a school day.”
Despite the time pressures faced by preparatory class students, especially second-year students preparing for upcoming French and national competitive exams, the Union highlighted that they, along with their first-year colleagues, “refused to turn a blind eye to the Palestinian cause.” The statement stressed that awareness of the issue “highlights the qualities of the Moroccan people in general, and preparatory class students in particular, in their attention to a cause whose dimension extends beyond politics to the human dimension.”
