This Wednesday, August 28, the radio station announced that it was ending its collaboration with their speaker, because of his speech on Algerian television last weekend.
It was Alain Marschall, who has hosted “Les Grandes Gueules” since 2004, who announced the news on the show this Wednesday, August 28.Following the unacceptable comments made by Mehdi Ghezzar on a foreign television channel, the management of RMC and the programme “The Big Mouths” have decided to end Mehdi Ghezzar’s participation in the show,” he declared from the RMC set.
Alain Marschall emphasizes that he also speaks on behalf of the team of his show.RMC and the hosts of Les Grandes Gueules dissociate themselves from these comments made in a personal capacity,” he specifies. “These do not correspond to the values of RMC and the “Big Mouths”.» To close the subject, he adds: “Full stop, no comment.”

The remarks that led to Mehdi Ghezzar’s dismissal were broadcast this Sunday, August 25, on the Algerian channel AL24 news. We can hear the now former columnist of “Les Grandes Gueules” criticizing the Moroccan government. He mentions the conflict between Israel and Hamas, deploring the fact that “The Moroccan people do not have the right to demonstrate their discontent, their solidarity with the people of Gaza, by royal decree”.
“It’s forbidden, they risk prison sentences, they don’t have the right to talk about it”he assures. The AL24 News presenter then names the Moroccan king’s advisor, André Azoulay, as the author of this decree. Wrongly, he then claims that the advisor would have Israeli nationality, and Mehdi Ghezzar agrees. André Azoulay is in fact Moroccan, of Moroccan Jewish origin.
The former columnist for “Les Grandes Gueules” then refers to the Moroccan government as a “rogue state”, “a country that feeds on Zionist flies of continuous disinformation through social networks, the Internet, press units”. Mehdi Ghezzar assures further that “the foundations of Moroccan society have been completely plundered by a part of the population that is foreign to it,” and advances at a different time than Morocco “is not a Muslim country.”
