medium article 2 min

Une pétition au Maroc, ayant recueilli plus de 100 000 signatures, demande le retour permanent au Temps Universel Coordonné (TU). Depuis 2018, le Maroc utilise l'heure TU+1, sauf pendant le Ramadan. Les signataires estiment que ce décalage horaire perturbe l'horloge biologique, affectant le sommeil et la concentration. L'initiateur de la pétition, Mohacine el-Ouadouari, met en avant les impacts négatifs sur la santé et le bien-être des Marocains. Le gouvernement avait initialement justifié le passage à TU+1 par des raisons économiques et un alignement avec ses partenaires commerciaux européens. L'objectif de la pétition est de soumettre la question aux pouvoirs publics pour réévaluation, en s'appuyant sur un sondage indiquant que 77% des Marocains ressentent des perturbations du sommeil dues au changement d'heure.
