When asked whether Fikri’s case would be the last, she replied, “Morocco is a country that systematically harasses street vendors, who are made illegal in the name of modernity.” She has also expressed dissatisfaction with the monarchy and sees it as a “dictatorship and that parliament does not mean much when there is a powerful Makhzen [a term used to describe the royal establishment] and a royal house where the king decides all political trials.” Maslouhi co-founded the Bades Foundation, which highlights the Rif, a mountainous region of northern Morocco, and its heritage. “The king has gained popularity in the Rif because of new roads and hotels, etc. But at the same time, there is a large group that is openly anti-monarchy.” She also said that she still remembers an activist from Casablanca who said, “The revolution will start from Rif.”
