Watching the match in Oujda? The coffee goes from 12 to 35 dirhams

The atmosphere should be one of solidarity and waving flags, but in Oujda, it is indignation that prevails. Taking advantage of a match to triple the bill: this is the new rule imposed by certain establishments. Coffee, usually accessible at 12 dirhams, is now shamelessly displayed at 35 dirhams from the kick-off. A brutal, unjustified increase, which takes the average citizen hostage, the one who cannot afford an expensive subscription to encrypted channels and for whom the neighborhood café remains the only forum.

This organized racketeering is not acceptable. For the inhabitants, this "freedom of prices" invoked by the managers looks more like pure and simple fraud. We are no longer selling a service, we are exploiting a passion. In the absence of an alternative to follow the matches, the consumer finds himself with a knife at his throat, forced to pay the full price to experience these moments of national communion. A situation that transforms a popular right into an inaccessible luxury.
