Moulay Rachid : Prince au grand cœur
Dimanche, 30 Novembre 2008 21:36 BM
L’e-journaliste Tarik Essaadi, fondateur de plusieurs sites qui enrichissent la toile nationale et mondiale dont Emmarakech.info, L’image.info, a été victime d’un surmenage qui lui a causé une paralysie des quatre membres, à la veille de l’ouverture du Festival International des Films de Marrakech (FIFM).
C’est ce qui l’a empêché de couvrir, comme il le faisait d’habitude, le déroulement du festival. Ce changement n’a pas échappé au président du FIFM, SAR le Prince Moulay Rachid qui a l’habitude de suivre tout ce qui s’écrit sur le festival et notamment ce que publie Tarik sur ses sites.
Le Prince s’est alors renseigné et a appris la mauvaise nouvelle. Géniale réaction : il s’est aussitôt rendu chez le célèbre e-journaliste.
Sur place, en Prince généreux, SAR Moulay Rachid a décidé de prendre en charge les frais d’hospitalisation de Tarik.
Ce qui a rendu espoir à ce jeune père de famille très apprécié par les internautes pour ses qualités tant professionnelles qu’humaines.
Nous lui souhaitons prompt rétablissement.
