00:00:10that the management of
00:00:18Good evening and thank you for joining us for the first news edition of the
00:00:21evening on Oula, here is the
00:00:23summary.
00:00:27The government sets the four strategic priorities for... for the
00:00:30preparation of the 2027 Finance Bill in accordance with the high
00:00:33guidelines contained in the speech
00:00:38and secondly, I like to stay at addressed by His Majesty King Mohammed VI to the nation on the occasion of the Throne
00:00:41Day. These include
00:00:43in Ebola. The head of the the continued strengthening of the pillars of the social state,
00:00:48Isn't that a good idea? major structural reforms and the preservation of public finance
00:00:50balances.
00:00:56This evening, we focus on the Tangemed port complex, a project
00:01:00that supports the development of several key sectors in Morocco such as
00:01:03the automotive industry. The Tangemed port is the fruit of a forward-looking
00:01:07since the beginning of royal vision, with the aim of consolidating Morocco's
00:01:10position in the
00:01:11Euro-Mediterranean area.
00:01:16And at the end of the news, we offer you a guided tour of the
00:01:19Crocopark in Agadir. The site is home to over 300
00:01:22species of crocodiles from an island, but visitors
00:01:26can also take advantage of this life-size stopover to admire the
00:01:30meticulously maintained
00:01:33botanical garden of the site.
00:01:38The government unveils its four strategic
00:01:41priorities for the Finance Bill for the 2027 fiscal year,
00:01:45in accordance with the high
00:01:48guidelines contained in the speech addressed by His Majesty King
00:01:52Mohammed VI to the nation on the occasion of the Throne Day.
00:01:55According to the orientation note addressed by the Head of Government to
00:01:59the ministerial department, the executive sets the course
00:02:03between social projects and budgetary rigor. In his framework
00:02:07letter, the Head of Government
00:02:09Wednesday on insists notably on the rationalization of operating
00:02:12expenses, while maintaining the objective of a
00:02:16budget deficit of 3% of GDP.
00:02:19Lunja
00:02:21on July ben. The Finance Bill for the 2027 fiscal year sets
00:02:25four major priorities in accordance with the high
00:02:27guidelines contained in the speech of His Majesty King Mohammed VI on
00:02:31separated the construction site flows from those the occasion of the glorious Throne Day. According to the orientation note
00:02:35level of analysis, it's an affair of addressed by the Head of Government to the ministerial department, the
00:02:38first priority axis is the consolidation of the kingdom's economic
00:02:41achievements, with the objective of strengthening its position as an
00:02:45emerging and competitive nation. The second priority is the upgrading of
00:02:49all territories of the country and the reduction of social
00:02:52disparities. This orientation must be based on an integrated development
00:02:56approach, with a concern for balance between regions and
00:02:59justice. This is the formula for a single-speed
00:03:02Morocco. The third axis unveiled in the PLF is the
00:03:06strengthening of the pillars of the social state and the continuation of structural
00:03:09reforms, the goal being to ensure the continuity of social
00:03:13protection projects such as motor and direct aid.
00:03:16Finally, the 4th priority listed is the preservation of public
00:03:20finance balances. Budgetary rigor is required from ministerial
00:03:23departments. This time, the 2027 PLF
00:03:27insists on financial sovereignty as a national priority,
00:03:31the challenge is to mobilize resources for public policies, while maintaining
00:03:35a strong investment dynamic, but also to control the budget
00:03:38deficit and contain public debt. Realistic
00:03:42orientations based on the reconciliation between ambitions and means, this is what
00:03:46the note emphasizes: the PLF is in direct line with the royal vision for a
00:03:50renewed economic, social and environmental model, it is
00:03:53adapted to the development requirements of the kingdom, responds to the expectations of
00:03:57Moroccans and guarantees future generations the right. right to
00:04:00a better future. Furthermore, the orientation note indicates that the legislative
00:04:04elections scheduled for September 23rd are a pivotal
00:04:07deadline for the consecration of credible political practice and the
00:04:11renewal of trust between citizens and elected institutions.
00:04:15élues.
00:04:18admire throughout the Tonight, we focus on a project that supports the
00:04:21development of several key sectors in Morocco, such as textiles, logistics
00:04:24and the automotive industry. It is the Tangemed port,
00:04:28an important infrastructure considered a global logistics
00:04:32hub capable of connecting the kingdom to
00:04:35the largest axes of global trade. The port was born
00:04:39from a forward-looking royal vision with the aim of consolidating Morocco's
00:04:42position in the Euro-Mediterranean area. Mariam
00:04:46Messi.
00:04:49More than 20 years ago, the gamble could have seemed
00:04:52audacious. A huge port construction project was taking shape at
00:04:56with all the details that inspire the port of the Strait of Gibraltar. Two
00:04:58decades later, it is one of the largest container ports on
00:05:02the planet, an industrial success that finds
00:05:06its origin in a strategic vision carried by His
00:05:09Majesty King Mohammed VI. could make
00:05:33the
00:05:37kingdom a true international logistics
00:05:39platform.
00:05:48Steel giants dominate the horizon at the end of their
00:05:51journey, Tangemed. Nearly
00:05:54sixty of them dock every day in a perfectly
00:05:58mastered logistical
00:05:59ballet.
00:06:02At the helm, maritime pilots ensure the safe arrival
00:06:06of oversized containers, capable of
00:06:09embarking more than 24,000 TEUs.
00:06:42I would also like to commend the crucial role of our management teams and the
00:06:45maritime pilots of Port Timed. Their
00:06:49expertise guarantees the safe berthing of the largest
00:06:52sécurité des plus grands
00:06:54ships every day.
00:06:59Growing without losing competitiveness, this is
00:07:02the challenge that Tangemed is facing today, a new
00:07:05dock rising from the land or rather from the sea. This
00:07:09extension aims to accompany the increase in traffic. A
00:07:12project that is already shaping the port of
00:07:15tomorrow.
00:07:24The challenge was to build a structure of this magnitude while keeping a
00:07:28port that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days
00:07:31a week. It was necessary to both guarantee the solidity of the
00:07:34infrastructure against the sea and ensure the continuity of activities
00:07:38without interruption. To achieve this, we completely
00:07:44of operation, notably thanks to a channel dedicated to
00:07:47the works. Our priority was zero interference with port
00:07:51operations and zero compromise on
00:07:54safety. More than 11 million containers
00:07:58handled in 2025, a new
00:08:00record that illustrates the rise of a port and the place now
00:08:04occupied by Morocco in the map of global shipping
00:08:07routes.
00:08:10Let's now turn to the issue of irregular
00:08:14immigration, which has resurfaced in particular after the
00:08:17recent events at the crossing point leading to Septaimlia.
00:08:21You may recall that a little over 41 irregular
00:08:25immigration candidates had attempted to reach the other side of the
00:08:29Mediterranean, at the risk of their lives. This migratory
00:08:32movement was caused by the spread of misleading
00:08:35information on social networks. Morocco, which is
00:08:39very active and responsive in the field of migration
00:08:42management, has not failed to affirm that this management can
00:08:46only be carried out within the framework of an approach based notably on
00:08:50shared responsibility. The kingdom has always
00:08:53taken its part, and has also long pursued a
00:08:57migratory policy focused on human beings. We see all this with
00:09:00imaneble. Commitment,
00:09:04responsibility, this is what characterizes Morocco's approach
00:09:08in terms of managing migratory flows. The kingdom has
00:09:11always acted as a sovereign, loyal and responsible partner in the framework of the
00:09:15fight against irregular immigration, a management
00:09:18for which Morocco takes shared responsibility, and in which it has
00:09:22always assumed its part. If for years the western flank of the
00:09:26Mediterranean has been the least problematic for Europe, it is because Morocco
00:09:30has effectively mobilized considerable resources and continues
00:09:33to do so to this day. Significant human, technical and financial
00:09:37resources have been mobilized for this purpose. Supported by figures,
00:09:4160, 14,000 irregular migration attempts were
00:09:45aborted in 2025, 79,000 in
00:09:482024, nearly 160,000 over 2
00:09:51years. 632 irregular immigration networks were also
00:09:55dismantled in 2025 and 2024, and more than
00:09:5932,000 rescues were successfully carried out during
00:10:02the same period, and over the last 5
00:10:05years, more than 36,000 irregular
00:10:08immigration attempts have been aborted. These figures
00:10:12reflect a reality that could not be clearer: the kingdom
00:10:15applies a global humanist approach to migration management and
00:10:19border control in compliance with international
00:10:23law and multilateral
00:10:25operations. This policy was also implemented in
00:10:292014 and 2016 through two
00:10:32regularization operations for irregular foreigners
00:10:35to ensure better integration of migrants and better
00:10:39management of migratory flows.
00:10:42Following the events in Ceuta, a government source had
00:10:45specified that for Morocco, there is no exclusive security response
00:10:49to the migration issue. This motive is now
00:10:53confirmed,
00:10:55as everyone has observed a voluntary return movement as
00:10:58massive as the movement to Ceuta.
00:11:0195% of those who had entered the enclave voluntarily
00:11:04eventually returned to Morocco. These young people
00:11:07returned because they saw firsthand that the situation in
00:11:11Morocco is better than in the Eldorado they fantasized about, added the governmental
00:11:15source. This return is the ultimate
00:11:18revelation of the truth, the dynamic of socio-economic
00:11:21development in the northern provinces. This... This
00:11:25tour reinforces Morocco in its development path and in the
00:11:28relevance of the strategic choices made under the leadership of His Majesty King
00:11:32Mohammed VI. The sovereign's action in the northern provinces
00:11:35has spurred unprecedented economic and social
00:11:39development. More than 43,000 jobs
00:11:41created. Development as the best
00:11:44response to irregular migration.
00:11:48We are pleased to welcome Mustapha
00:11:52Simi to the set for an analysis of the events of...
00:11:58So as we have just seen in this box, the various
00:12:02efforts deployed by the kingdom
00:12:06in the framework of migration management, but before that,
00:12:09let's go back to these incidents in Ceuta.
00:12:13It must be said that everything started with a rumor that spread
00:12:16like wildfire on social networks, a rumor
00:12:20encouraging candidates for immigration to
00:12:24go irregularly
00:12:27to the other side of the Mediterranean.
00:12:29A rumor, it must be said, that claimed that the
00:12:33Ceuta border was open. Your reaction?
00:12:36Indeed, you are right, it started with a rumor and it
00:12:40started with a trigger, a judicial trigger,
00:12:43which was
00:12:469th last, there was a judgment
00:12:50rendered by the Spanish Supreme Court of
00:12:53Madrid, saying what? Saying that migrants
00:12:57who arrived by sea in Spain, yes,
00:13:00by sea, so it was Alanas and so on, would
00:13:04not be expelled and that they would be eligible
00:13:08for Spanish regulations regarding the right to
00:13:11asylum. That's how it started.
00:13:15It started from there, and from there it was obviously
00:13:18taken over by a number of networks,
00:13:22networks that are obviously quick to
00:13:26profit from their illicit activities, as these are
00:13:29trafficking networks, and it was
00:13:32instrumentalized by a number of social
00:13:36networks and it had a viral
00:13:39effect, so much so that we saw tens of
00:13:42thousands of migrants,
00:13:46migrants who mobilized from a number of regions
00:13:49of the kingdom and so on, so we saw trucks, carts,
00:13:52all those who were caught up in the
00:13:56heat of the moment, and so on, mobilized
00:13:59by going towards
00:14:02Ceuta and then it was Ceuta, but it was
00:14:05less important. What we need to observe
00:14:08first of all is this viral effect, this
00:14:11viral effect. Morocco was informed,
00:14:15was informed of this situation, it followed it,
00:14:18and it had even seized the Spanish
00:14:21authorities to draw their attention to the fact that
00:14:24this judicial decision constituted a kind of pull
00:14:27factor for, yes, a pull factor for irregular
00:14:31immigration. This was not handled as it should have been
00:14:35by the Spanish authorities and it led to the phenomenon you mentioned.
00:14:38So it's a situation that is obviously painful,
00:14:42that is sad, it must be said, what we have seen and
00:14:46so on and so forth, but it obviously implicates,
00:14:50as you said, social networks and their instrumentalization
00:14:54and besides, who left, the Ministry of Interior
00:14:57gave figures of 41, 41,000 have
00:15:00returned, 41 have returned given, of course,
00:15:04what they saw on site in Ceuta
00:15:06and the conditions under which they were received in
00:15:10Ceuta, extremely difficult conditions, everyone remembers
00:15:13a number of acts of violence, a number of
00:15:17coercive measures and so on,
00:15:20so that's where we are, so it's a situation that is obviously painful, I say
00:15:24it's sad, but it also calls on
00:15:28the Spanish authorities on this issue. So
00:15:31Mustapha Simi, Morocco did not fail to react
00:15:35notably to this matter through the Ministry
00:15:38of Interior to explain exactly what
00:15:42happened, but also to reaffirm
00:15:47migration can only be carried out within
00:15:51a global approach based precisely on
00:15:54shared responsibility, solidarity
00:15:57as well, and burden sharing. It was important to
00:16:01emphasize that the kingdom remains a reliable
00:16:04and responsible partner in this matter, right?
00:16:08It's a useful reframing that sets the record straight on the
00:16:11migration issue. I propose
00:16:15an approach by distinguishing three levels of
00:16:18analysis, if you allow me: first level, it's a Moroccan-Moroccan
00:16:21affair. Morocco is a country that has
00:16:25today become a country of reception and
00:16:28transit, and we must highlight the efforts made by Morocco
00:16:32for nearly fifteen
00:16:35years with the royal decisions of regularization in
00:16:392014 and 2016, regularization of the situation of migrants in
00:16:43Morocco who stay there. There have been more
00:16:46than 52,000 regularization applications.
00:16:50Question: which country in the Maghreb, in Africa or elsewhere, can
00:16:53boast of such a policy? It is so
00:16:56true that in February
00:16:592017, a few weeks after Morocco's
00:17:02return to the African Union, His Majesty the King
00:17:06was elevated to a special status,
00:17:10African leader for migration. This shows
00:17:13how sensitive Morocco, its people and its king, are to
00:17:17this migration issue, and indeed, measures have
00:17:20been taken in this regard. There is an African
00:17:24office in Rabat for migration, also
00:17:28an international office, meaning that what is
00:17:30done, we cannot be accused of
00:17:34not taking into account the priorities.
00:17:38Second level of analysis, it's a Morocco-Spain affair.
00:17:41Morocco-Spain has agreements, it has a
00:17:45privileged partner that we welcome on both sides, and so on,
00:17:49but this migration issue must be put on the table.
00:17:52Morocco has a sovereign mission to
00:17:56secure its borders. It is
00:17:58not there to do
00:18:01the job of securing the
00:18:04terrestrial borders
00:18:07of Spain and the European Union. Third
00:18:13the European Union
00:18:16between Madrid and the European Union more globally, of the European Union,
00:18:20and that must be addressed. So Mustapha Simi, you explained just now that
00:18:23Morocco is considered both a country and it's a transit
00:18:27country, but also a host country that leads a global
00:18:31migration policy focused on human beings and above all
00:18:34shared responsibility. Yes, because...
00:18:38migration is a complex issue with several
00:18:42known facets. Morocco has distinguished
00:18:45itself in this regard by a proactive and efficient
00:18:48policy to combat irregular immigration. No one
00:18:52can say otherwise. There are figures, the figures that have been given, I will
00:18:56remind you, there have been
00:18:5874,000 irregular migration attempts that have been
00:19:02neutralized in 2025,
00:19:04also 79,000 in 2024, so... there has been a
00:19:07mobilization of the security apparatus of the authorities on this. Second
00:19:11element, there has been the neutralization of
00:19:14632 migrant trafficking networks
00:19:18by Morocco in 2025.
00:19:20I would add a humanitarian aspect that you have
00:19:24mentioned, which is the 32,000 rescues
00:19:27organized by the Royal Navy, meaning
00:19:3032,000 people saved, saved from
00:19:33drowning, and then there is also the fight carried
00:19:37out for the abortion of
00:19:4036,000 irregular migration
00:19:44attempts. I say why it must be shared, Morocco is
00:19:48responsible, a sovereign state, but this problem must be taken into account
00:19:52in its multiple aspects by Madrid and by the European
00:19:55Union. I will give you a figure: the budgetary
00:19:59costs of this Moroccan policy of controlling
00:20:02irregular immigration are about
00:20:05500 million euros. Morocco only
00:20:09receives less than a third of that in subsidies,
00:20:12i.e. 150 million euros, and all this
00:20:16must be reviewed in the context of a debate,
00:20:19cooperation and a clear understanding of the real
00:20:23problems that are on the agenda today. Mustapha Simi,
00:20:26thank you for being our guest tonight. I remind you that you are a political scientist and
00:20:30professor of law. Thank you, thank you to you.
00:20:33Also in the news, Germany, where air traffic was
00:20:37temporarily suspended on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday at
00:20:40Leipzig Airport after the reporting of an unidentified
00:20:44flying object and the discovery of a suspicious object near the
00:20:48runway. The flying object was
00:20:52sighted near the airport, leading to the diversion
00:20:55of several aircraft, including a passenger plane
00:20:59to other airports. A second object
00:21:02was then spotted near the south runway and examined by the
00:21:06federal police, who had notably deployed a demining
00:21:09robot. The regional police have also opened an investigation
00:21:12in collaboration with the federal police, without providing at this stage
00:21:16details on the nature of the objects.
00:21:24Health crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo,
00:21:28the WHO warns of an uncontrollable increase
00:21:33World Health Organization has visited the Democratic Republic
00:21:37of Congo where this large-scale epidemic is spreading.
00:21:40The senior official called for intensifying the
00:21:43response and better protecting frontline personnel. A total
00:21:47of 3,874 confirmed cases, including
00:21:501,751 deaths, have been reported by the
00:21:54DRC authorities
00:21:57the epidemic.
00:22:03The news is also about the weather, a
00:22:06heatwave, stormy showers with a risk of
00:22:10hail and gusts of wind during thunderstorms are expected from today
00:22:13until Saturday in several provinces of the kingdom, according to the
00:22:17General Directorate of Meteorology. Temperatures ranging
00:22:21between 44 and 47°C would concern the provinces
00:22:24of Teruden, Zagora, Tata, Asazag, Smara, Boujdour
00:22:28and Oued Dahab. The same phenomenon with temperatures
00:22:32varying between 42 and 44°C is expected
00:22:34tomorrow in the provinces of
00:22:36Benimmellel,
00:22:39and also, stormy showers with a risk of hail and gusts of wind
00:22:42during thunderstorms 20 to 35 mm will be
00:22:45recorded until 11 p.m. in the provinces of Jerrada.
00:23:01And in Agadir, the weather seems milder
00:23:04and cooler. Among the places to visit,
00:23:07the Crocopark, one of the main attractions of the
00:23:10city. The site houses more than
00:23:13300 species of crocodiles from an island, but
00:23:17visitors can also take advantage of
00:23:21this life-size stopover to admire the meticulously
00:23:24maintained botanical garden of the
00:23:28site. This is a report
00:23:29by Denin, I apologize, and Lunja
00:25:13head towards the sea with its 2
00:25:17km of fine sand. And
00:25:20it offers one of the most beautiful
00:25:24seaside resorts in the Bouknadel region, a subject on which
00:25:27we will return
00:25:31next time. As we
00:25:34said, in Agadir, the weather seems milder
00:25:37compared to the weather we just
00:25:40gave, among the places to visit, the Crocopark,

00:26:05this is how our edition ends, thank you for following
00:26:09it, have a great evening, see you soon,
00:26:23Hello, do you remember me?
00:26:26Yes, I am that plastic bottle, and now
00:26:30I'm back, not to complain, but to ask you for a small
00:26:33favor: don't take me to the sea anymore, firstly because
00:26:37I don't know how to swim,
00:26:40home, but you can take a glass bottle
00:26:43instead, or your water bottle,
00:26:47or whatever you have.
00:26:50At least the fish won't eat them, and they won't be left on
00:26:54the sand, and you can even use them as many
00:26:58times as you want. As for me, I promise you I won't mind.
00:27:02So, agreed? Can I count on you?
00:27:06Well, good. That's what we wanted. And now
00:27:10it's time for me to go and say goodbye to you. Take care of
00:27:13yourselves and your sea too.
