00:00 "The interior minister, Abdel Wafi Leftit, said that their implementation will have no
00:23 consequences on the prices of water and electricity.
00:30 The daily, the Maribyya Ahdat, specifies that this bill aims to solve the problems related
00:37 to the distribution of drinking water, electricity and liquid sanitation.
00:40 Quoting the interior minister, the daily notes that the responsibility for the supply of
00:45 drinking water, electricity and liquid sanitation is exclusively up to the prefectures and that
00:51 the water is not to be tolerated.
00:54 The same source explains that the work of these companies requires significant financial
01:00 investment and concludes that private investors should be mainly institutional investors,
01:05 but it would also be possible for small investors to participate.
01:10 " We continue our press review in Morocco with the newspaper Le Matin, which is interested
01:16 in the issue of polygamy, citing nearly four out of ten requests validated by the
01:21 justice.
01:22 Despite the draconian measures put in place by the family code to try to curb polygamy,
01:28 the phenomenon seems to have a hard skin, writes the newspaper.
01:32 According to a report on family justice, more than 20,000 agreements to conclude a second
01:38 marriage were recorded between 2017 and 2021.
01:41 According to the same source, the largest number of requests was filed during the year
01:46 2021 with 4,854 requests.
01:49 However, statistics reveal that courts continue to harden the procedures.
01:55 The satisfactory request rate, which did not exceed 38.87%, is witnessed.
02:00 The various courts of the kingdom are working to dissuade Moroccans from sealing a second
02:06 marriage, in accordance with the family code.
02:09 This one, the newspaper clearly stipulates the ban on polygamy if there is a fear
02:16 of injustice between the two wives, or in case of mention of the refusal of polygamy in the
02:22 marriage act with the first wife.
02:24 In Algeria, as every year, at the time of the Baccalaureate exams, the subject of Internet
02:30 cuts is resurfacing.
02:32 Internet cuts during the Baccalaureate, criticism is multiplying, so the newspaper TSA,
02:38 "Internet is again strongly disturbed during the course of the Baccalaureate exams,"
02:44 reports the media, noting that access to the network is sometimes impossible during a
02:49 part of the morning and afternoon.
02:52 In force for several years, the radical solution to cut the Internet does not make it unanimous
02:58 in Algeria, especially with trade unions and consumer protection associations.
03:04 In a statement to the European Parliament, TSA quoted the Secretary-General of the Autonomous
03:09 Trade Union of Workers of Education and Training, who pointed out the problem of Internet connection
03:15 as a source of disruption to the work of collecting information from delegates in the different
03:21 villages of the country.
03:23 The three mobile phone operators strangely remain silent on these cuts, notes the media,
03:29 and the media is not the only one to criticize the government.
03:34 In addition to Internet cuts, authorities have announced judicial proceedings against
03:39 cheaters.
03:40 Condemnations to prison for cheating have been pronounced by many courts in the country
03:46 during the first two days of the Baccalaureate.
03:49 In Tunisia, the daily webdo comes back on the subject of the tax on real estate.
03:55 The tax on the real estate of physical people will indeed be applied from this year, despite
04:01 the curfew it caused when it was at the stage of the project, notes the daily.
04:06 The author of the article specifies that this tax is raised to a rate of 0.5% on the financial
04:12 assets of physical people, having a commercial value greater than or equal to 3 million dinars.
04:18 The newspaper notes that this tax applies to real estate located on the Tunisian territory,
04:24 regardless of the place of residence of the taxpayer, to real estate located in Tunisia
04:30 or abroad if the taxpayer is a resident in Tunisia.
04:33 This tax excludes the main residence of the taxpayer and the real estate used for the
04:39 exercise of a professional activity.
04:42 This tax is applicable as of January 1, 2023 and has been declared as of later June 30
04:49 of each year, concludes the newspaper.
04:51 This is the end of the Maghreb press review. Thank you for following it.
04:55 Good luck with the programs on my dials.
