Columnist or agent of influence? A question that thousands of people are asking themselves, taken aback by the scandalous remarks of Mehdi Ghezzar, a Franco-Algerian businessman who operates in the shady sector of “shisha cafes” and a columnist for RMC in his spare time, who spat out all his hatred against Morocco on the set of the Algerian channel AL24. With a hateful vocabulary worthy of the worst hours of fascism, the supposed columnist, feeling freed from the demands of decency and professional ethics, literally let loose by uttering a diatribe marked by obvious racist, anti-Semitic and even fundamentalist overtones, against Morocco.
The madman who regularly rages on the show Les Grandes Gueules, thus began his sermon by excommunicating Morocco and its people whom he considers non-Muslim. In his mouth, the Kingdom is accused of all the vices of the world: Zionism, pedophilia, drugs… “It is anything but a Muslim country,” he uttered, comparing Morocco to the “Thailand” of Africa with all the underlying ulterior motives.
“The big mouth” of RMC continued his torrent of insults by accusing the Kingdom of Zionist State to name only that and to spare the reader his infamous remarks. In short! It is a mixture of conspiracy mixed with anti-Moroccan hatred and primary anti-Semitism as the pseudo-Algerian political-media elite has accustomed us to in recent years.
Ghezzar was speaking on a program devoted to the TICAD conference in Tokyo, where Algeria let the Polisario enter with a fake badge. Such foul language gives a fairly clear idea of the level of political debate in Algeria, a country whose president publicly boasts of being at the head of the third economic power in the world, to the applause of the crowd.
Ghezzar did not stop at these insults, punctuating his indictment with fake news about Palestine. He claimed that Morocco bans pro-Palestinian demonstrations by royal decree. A blatant lie intended to reverse the reality of the Algerian regime, which did not fail to ban pro-Gaza demonstrations for fear of resurrecting the Hirak at a time when rallies are regularly organized in Morocco’s major cities under the protection of law enforcement.
Outrage on the web, calls for dismissal
This sickening pamphlet has sparked outrage on social media, where Internet users have expressed their disgust at such baseness. Some see it as a classic relay of Algerian propaganda. There is widespread outrage in France, where public figures have been offended by the shameless racism and anti-Semitism of this columnist, who also attacked HM the King’s Advisor, André Azoulay. “Total support for André Azoulay, Advisor to the King of Morocco, shamefully attacked by Mehdi Ghezzar on an Algerian media outlet,” hammered Éric Ciotti, who called on RMC to immediately suspend this columnist. “His anti-Semitic remarks are unacceptable and despicable,” he added in a post on X.
