Rabat, June 18, 2011 (SPS) - The Moroccan February 20 Movement has called for nationwide protests in the many cities against constitutional reforms proposed by the Moroccan king in a television address on Friday.
"The national co-ordinators [of the 20 Movement] have called for a demonstration Sunday for a truly democratic constitution and a parliamentary monarchy," a member of the movement's Rabat section told the AFP news agency on Saturday.
"The plan as proposed by the king yesterday does not respond to our demands for a true separation of powers. We will protest peacefully on Sunday against this plan." he added.
