Since the announcement of French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Morocco, Algerian media has turned into a platform of relentless attacks, as if Franco-Moroccan diplomatic meetings ignite an uncontrollable fury within the press tied to Algeria’s military regime.
What is the reason for this anger? How can we explain this recurrent hostile behavior towards Morocco?
Moroccan diplomatic wisdom in the face of incitement
Morocco consistently maintains a calm foreign policy, rooted in mutual respect and good neighborliness. While Moroccan diplomacy continues to strengthen its international ties, certain regional actors seem intent on fueling conflicts, portraying these relationships as threats and rejecting any pursuit of positive progress and fruitful cooperation.
Media frenzy and a transparent smear campaign
It is evident that the Algerian press, driven by military agendas, seizes any event related to Morocco as an opportunity to incite. Macron’s visit, which is purely a Franco-Moroccan affair, sparked a wave of hostile coverage, highlighting the contradictions in Algerian media and their inability to respect other countries’ sovereignty and independent decisions.
Morocco-France relations: A renewed partnership defying hostile interpretations
The relationship between Morocco and France is not new; it is based on strong historical foundations that evolve over time. France’s economic and cultural interests in Morocco, coupled with Morocco’s shared vision for cooperation, ensure that dialogue between the two remains stable and constructive, despite attempts at distortion or disruption.
Between constructive policies and destructive diplomacy
While Morocco continues to build bridges of cooperation and achieve diplomatic successes, the Algerian regime and its media resort to incitement and attack, in a desperate attempt to downplay their Moroccan neighbor’s achievements.
This campaign reflects the Algerian military’s lack of vision and their inability to keep up with positive changes in the region, while Morocco moves steadily toward achieving its strategic goals, backed by strong popular will and wise royal leadership.
In conclusion, Morocco remains a model of diplomatic maturity
Algerian media attacks do not affect Morocco’s course; instead, they reveal the depth of Algeria’s internal crises and its ongoing desire to cover up domestic failures by stirring external issues.
