Yunes Mujahid on Ouzine's Shahtan attack
The article presents a message from Younes Majd, the former head of the National Press Council, regarding the allegations made by Mohamed Ouzine, the Secretary-General of the Popular Movement Party, against colleague Idriss Chehatane, head of the National Association for Media and Publishing. These accusations pertain to a criminal matter involving libel and slander. Majd affirmed that the case is currently before the judiciary and that it is better not to interfere. He considered that filing complaints in such cases is normal in democratic countries, where judicial rulings amount to thousands annually, accompanied by significant figures related to the number of complaints and escalation cases. He also touched on the relationship between politicians and the media in Morocco, explaining that journalism overlaps with politics but must adhere to ethical standards to maintain independence. Additionally, he pointed out that public support for both partisan and non-partisan newspapers suffers from a lack of transparency and poor management, with some newspapers remaining unread despite benefiting from funding. Lastly, he criticized unhealthy political interventions in the process of establishing the National Press Council, which have hampered efforts to organize the journalism profession. He emphasized the need to rebuild the media sector amid current transformations.
