«Journal Libération» is a Francophone Moroccan daily political newspaper that represents the interests of the Socialist Union of Popular Forces party (الاتحاد الاشتراكي للقوات الشعبية) (Al — Ittihad Al-Ishtirakiy Lilqawat Al-Sha'abiyah). In French, the party is called «Union Socialiste des Forces Populaires» or abbreviated «USFP». Political orientation of the party and newspaper: democratic socialism and center-left. The party's program is ambiguous, but its basic tenets are as follows: equality of classes, participation of the Moroccan people in government, nationalization of strategic sectors of the economy, agrarian and scientific reforms. the newspaper has nothing in common with the French eponymous «
Libération», but its style is similar: rather sharp criticism of reality, sharp articles. The price of one room is 4 Dirhams. A subscription is possible, including a corporate one, and some rooms are distributed free of charge
