Hasty Roundabout Built on Tram Tracks for Pope’s Visit Sparks Controversy in Morocco

Should we laugh or cry about it? A roundabout has been hastily built near Salé, except that it was built on the tramway tracks.
It only took a few hours for the employees of the city of Salé to set up this "disposable" roundabout, which was built in record time in anticipation of the visit of Pope Francis to Morocco.
In addition to the borders painted in the usual red and white, it can also be noted that the work of art also has plants that have miraculously grown in just a few hours...
In any case, the pope’s visit being over, it took less time to remove this roundabout and throw the plants and borders into oblivion.
It should be noted that most of the roads in Rabat that the sovereign pontiff and King Mohammed VI were to pass through were embellished as if by magic in 3 days!
