L The dramas often make people react. And with the help of emotion, one can be surprised to take certain commitments that one will not take.
The public authorities are often confronted with these cases: laxity, drama, firmness, and laxity again until to the next drama. It is a vicious circle to which everyone now adapts.
But, fortunately (or unfortunately), certain events have the particularity of tickling our consciences to bring us back to reality. This reality tells us that "little negligence gives birth to a great evil."
That's what happened on Wednesday. The frontage of the top three floors of the Lyautey building, located on the Abderrahmane Sahraoui Boulevard next to Agma, has literally collapsed.
We do not yet know the reasons behind this incident, but the sad history of building collapses in Morocco tells us that the majority of tragic accidents are due to the dilapidated buildings, the work carried out in secret without authorization, or still (he) legally, for a good bribe.
A small glance in the rearview mirror:
– February 2017: three people from the same family are killed and four others are injured in the collapse of a house in Sidi Youssef Ben Ali in Marrakech.
– March 2017: Eight people are sentenced to 10 months to five years in prison after the collapse, a few months earlier, of a building in the Sbata district of Casablanca, causing the death of four people. They were prosecuted for manslaughter, corruption and building construction not in accordance with the authorization issued.
– December 2017: two people are killed and three others seriously injured following the collapse of part of a wall serving Exterior Fence at a Livestock Feed Company in Casablanca
– July 2014: This is without a doubt one of the most tragic accidents that has occurred in the city in recent years. The collapse of three buildings in the Burgundy district of Casablanca claimed the lives of 23 people and injured more than 50.
Even today, Casablanca is full of buildings that make them potential coffins in suspension.
And in the old medinas, habitats threatening ruin abound, made vulnerable by natural factors, but also by the age of construction that oscillates between 100 and 200 years.
That is to say, unfortunately, we will still know buildings and houses that fall like a house of cards. With their batches of victims ■
