00:00Morocco's legal system is back in motion, but tensions between lawyers and the government remain high.
00:06After more than four months of striking, Morocco's 19,000 lawyers have resumed work,
00:12temporarily suspending their protest against a controversial bill reforming their profession.
00:18The strike, organized by the Moroccan Bar Association, has caused major delays in court proceedings,
00:24leaving a growing backlog of cases and putting pressure on those seeking justice.
00:28Lawyers argue that the new legislation concentrates too much power in the hands of the executive branch.
00:36They are demanding a review of the bill and renewed dialogue with the government.
00:41The suspension is intended to give the authorities time to form a new government and reopen negotiations.
00:48And lawyers are making one thing clear. Their mobilization is far from over.
00:53Their message is that the strike may be put on pause, but the fight for reform continues.
