Those taking part accused Prime Minister Benkirane of failing to deliver promised reforms."There are more than 50,000 people who are demonstrating to call on the government to start a genuine dialogue addressing our country's social ills," opposition Socialist MP Hassan Tariq said on Sunday.

"The trade unions are united and the message to the Benkirane government is clear: he needs to change his strategy," he told AFP news agency.

An official put the number of demonstrators at between 15,000 and 20,000, according to AFP news agency. The unions called for an improvement in salaries and working conditions.
