Moroccan protesters have once again taken to streets in more than 30 cities across the northeast African state to demand political reforms and a real democracy, Press TV reports.

Chanting slogans against the government's policies, the demonstrators slammed the results of last month's parliamentary elections.

The protesters say the November 25 polls failed to display true democratic reforms and that the US-backed ruling monarchy is not committed to real change.

Moroccan activists have been calling for political reforms and decisive action against corruption since the beginning of this year, with demonstrations taking place on an almost weekly basis.

The ruling monarch has implemented some reforms, but Moroccans say they are not enough.

The vote came in the wake of one of the largest anti-government protests in decades that forced King Mohammed VI to introduce constitutional reforms and announce early elections.

Under the changes, the monarch will hand over some of his powers to the parliament and the prime minister, but he will still have the final say on issues of defense, security and religion.

The new government will also work with the king who retains the most powerful position in the government.
