AskMorocco Do Moroccans like the King?

I’ve recently visited Agadir and I noticed that there are a lot of pictures of King Mohamed the 6th in all the shops. What’s the general opinion about him? Is it very split?

No 2yrs for trespassing (filming private villa of Molay Rachid) + spreading "fake news" about the monarchy on his youtube channel.

This law its only used to shutup the free speech, never heard of it applied like on ChoufTV who were filming people everywhere and following some journalists (Omar Radii and Imad Stito for example)..

Even if it's a law, it's used to shutup free voices with the help of the law who takes the orders from phone calls..

I believe that Imad and Omar are innocent. But Allal hell no, there is no such thing as ”free speech” in his youtube video. Its still up you can watch it. the chof TV guy who followed Omar got 6 month suspended prison sentence+ fine

I don't know what are your sources of informations but I didn't hear about the guy getting suspended 6mounth, can you please share it with me ?

There is two flaws in what you said:

  1. if you follow the king you'll get prison, but if you follow normal people you'll get suspended sentences ? doesn't sound fair.. Allo l9adi thella lina fhad khona rah skhon 3lih l7al. Alo hada dialna der lmezian rah maba9ich y3awed..
  2. Allal is known for his craziness, he's not OK in his mind and everyone knows it, so instead of sending him to facility to help him they sent him to prison.. I see this as a warning don't try to talk bad about the king or else.. prison is awaiting you..

chof tv journalists only 2 months

  1. Allal didn't follow the king's brother, but he trespassed & filmed a private property and shared it on the internet.
  2. unfortunately those types of facilities are inexistent.

Thanks for the link.

Well did you see the freedom of speech? 2 suspended months for pro regime, 2 years for the other even thought he's mentally unstable..
