Moroccan Radio Show Suspended Over Host’s Nazi Comparison of Vaccine Pass
Tuesday 9 November 2021, by
Since Monday, November 8, the "Les Matins Luxe" program broadcast on Luxe Radio will be suspended for 3 weeks, following a decision by the Higher Council for Audiovisual Communication (CSCA).
The announcement was made by the radio station itself on Sunday, specifying that the sanction concerns remarks made by the columnist Rachid Achachi during a morning show in which he compared the adoption of the vaccine pass in Morocco to "Nazi Germany of the 1940s".
Following the decision, the radio station took note of the suspension while condemning "these remarks affecting the dignity of the managers of public health affairs in our country," the radio’s management statement said.
