VOICED: Morocco heads for vote on curbing king's powers

In Rabat, sports clubs are rallying youth to support constitutional changes. Many locals plan to vote 'yes' in the upcoming referendum, believing it will benefit Morocco. The proposed changes aim to enhance government and parliamentary powers, though the king retains significant authority. The February 20 Movement opposes the reforms, arguing they are undemocratic and plans to boycott the vote. Despite this, the king is likely to see the reforms approved, with observers focusing on voter turnout as a measure of support.
