Fes News – Moulay Yacoub
Serious leaks continue to cast a shadow over the scandal that shook the Moulay Yacoub province and nearly led to a tragic suicide attempt by a citizen. Following revelations of suspected illegal demolition operations possibly carried out for retaliatory purposes, a special source told “Fes News” shocking details about the moments preceding the suicide attempt.
According to the source, the word that ignited the citizen’s anger and pushed him to the brink of despair was a direct insult from the local official, who called him a “donkey.” This word, laden with contempt and humiliation, appears to have been the last straw that broke the camel’s back, turning the feeling of “al-hikra” (humiliation and injustice) into a desperate act.
The source adds that this verbal insult was not merely a slip of the tongue but came within a context of actions viewed as arbitrary and irresponsible by the official. This critical moment, where the verbal abuse crossed all limits, was on the verge of creating a “new Bouazizi” in Moulay Yacoub—a reference to the events that sparked the Arab Spring revolutions due to a similar insult.
The incident clearly revealed the dangers of some officials’ behavior who exceed their authority and treat citizens with humiliation and harshness instead of serving the public interest and applying the law with responsibility and fairness.
This information underscores the urgent need to open a thorough and comprehensive investigation, not only into the suspicious demolition operations but also into the personal conduct of officials and its impact on the dignity and fundamental rights of citizens.
