Moroccan Internet users were numerous to react to a sequence broadcast on the Algerian channel Echourouk caricatured King Mohammed VI. Even the head of the Moroccan government expressed his indignation in a diplomatic tone.
Many users of social networks in Morocco condemned this sequence, broadcasting the formula « The King is a red line ». Still others demanded an official and firm response to the Algerian military regime. Members of the Moroccan government deplored the insulting escalation. The head of the Moroccan government, Saâdeddine El Othmani, even expressed himself on his Twitter account. « In view of the country’s continued success on more than one level, and in the Moroccan Sahara issue in particular, the opposing media are waging a war of insults against the country’s constitutional institutions and King Mohammed VI, » wrote the Moroccan Prime Minister.
For his part, Salafist preacher Mohamed Fizazi responded to the Algerian channel in a live video on Facebook, saying that « this programme was not a coincidence » and that senior Algerian officials knew in advance what would be broadcast. « The Algerian people do not deserve this kind of media. The Algerian people are bigger than this to have media that specialises in lies and slander, » he said, wondering « why this people has been afflicted by having this kind of leadership since independence.
