Stranded Moroccan in Budapest Slams Government’s Meager COVID-19 Aid

5 June 2020 – byBladi.net · 1 min read

A Moroccan national is outraged by the aid from the El Othmani government to people stranded abroad due to the coronavirus. After several months of patience, he received in total a food supply for a few days.

Would this government support be aid or charity? This is the question he is asking himself. In a 4-minute video posted online and titled: "Come and see", this Moroccan expatriate, stranded in Budapest, revealed the content of this government support before expressing his outrage: "I just want to understand. Is this a gesture of solidarity from the embassy officials in Budapest or the aid of the Moroccan state?", he wondered.

Like the 31,000 Moroccans stranded around the world, this expatriate, born in Rabat, is eagerly awaiting his repatriation.

This patience could bear fruit in the next few days with the wave of repatriation launched since May 30 by the government, which started with Algeria.
