Pro-Palestinian MEP Sparks Outrage with Controversial Morocco Map Campaign

Rima Hassan, LFI MEP and pro-Algeria, is facing criticism from many Moroccan internet users due to her support for the "Correct the Map" campaign aimed at modifying the world geographical map, displaying a map of Morocco without its Sahara.

"Yes yes and yes!", reacts Rima Hassan in a post published on her X account, thus endorsing the "Correct the Map" campaign aimed at modifying the world geographical map. Enough to provoke the annoyance of many Moroccan internet users. On the web, the pro-Palestinian elected representative is criticized for her support for this new map.

"I think she understands that Moroccans are against her, so she has nothing to lose by showing Morocco divided in two. But remember one thing, dear Rima: what you sow, you will reap one day," thus threatens a woman on X. Others do not mince their words. "And the Sahara in his Morocco," "Get out of here you and your polizbel (Polisario), just like the Zionists," criticize some.

Another X user denounces the attitude of the French elected representative: "You want a colonial legacy in Morocco that you defend elsewhere. In any case, Moroccans, including myself, have graciously paid you back by massively reacting to your post which should simply be ignored! You don’t know with your nonsense how much chaos you want to cause in the region! Shame on you." Others mock the one who often takes up the cause of Algeria, the protector of the Polisario independence movement. "Yes yes and yes for free and independent Kabylia!" or "What’s this flag in the Sahara??" can be read under the publication.
