00:00Hello everyone and welcome to Mediain TV for your press review.
00:13The head of the division for the Maghreb and Malta at the World Bank, Amadou Moustapha Ndiaye,
00:18has stated that the economic prospects of Morocco remain robust despite the current challenges.
00:24The economic report of the World Bank entitled
00:27« Prioritise the reforms to improve the business climate »
00:30presents a special chapter on the business environment in Morocco
00:34based on the data of the Business Ready report published in 2024.
00:39And even if Morocco displays good performance in regulation and public services
00:44compared to other countries with similar income,
00:47it remains behind in terms of operational efficiency, as the online media indicates.
00:51The main recommendations of the World Bank to improve the business environment
00:55include the fight against high costs and obstacles to formal employment,
00:59the simplification of administrative procedures
01:02or the optimization of digital processes and the finalization of the legal framework.
01:07This report of the World Bank shows that with strategic reforms
01:11and a strong commitment to modernization,
01:14Morocco has considerable potential to improve its business environment,
01:19stimulate economic growth and promote a more inclusive labor market.
01:24Concludes the briefing.
01:28Let's take a look at the costs.
01:30Tax increases continue with the United States as the main character
01:34since Donald Trump imposes 25% taxes on the automotive sector.
01:39What a country!
01:40The American president announced Wednesday the implementation of these tariffs
01:44on vehicle imports to the United States.
01:47A new stage of the trade war triggered by the Republican.
01:52Trump hopes that these taxes will force companies
01:55to relocate more production to the United States and attract investments.
01:59But the legal uncertainty generated by a government
02:02that makes arbitrary and disrespectful decisions of the law
02:05is not the best card for investors, analyzes the Spanish daily.
02:10Trump's measures will probably also cause commercial reprisals from other countries.
02:15On his side, Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission,
02:19reacted yesterday by declaring that she deeply regretted the decision of the United States
02:23that the European Union will evaluate.
02:25The Japanese government warned her this morning
02:29against the considerable impact of the customs offensive of the American president
02:33on commercial and economic relations in North America
02:36as well as for the global economy as a whole.
02:40Brazil.
02:42To continue this world tour with news of former president Jair Bolsonaro
02:46who will be well judged for attempts of coup d'état,
02:49we inform Globo.
02:50This decision of the Supreme Court of Brazil, made Wednesday,
02:54pumps the ambitions of the return to power of the far-right leader.
02:57The case is historical, Globo estimates.
03:00Never before has a former president been formally accused
03:03of wanting to put an end to the democratic state of law.
03:06There is shocking and serious evidence.
03:09Their solidity is enough for Bolsonaro to be judged,
03:12notes the newspaper, while estimating that by the time of the trial,
03:15it will be necessary to try to decontaminate the process of any political influence.
03:19End of quote.
03:20And while he is facing a cumulative sentence that can exceed 40 years in prison,
03:24the former Brazilian president says he is a victim
03:27of the greatest political-judicial persecution in the history of Brazil.
03:31Bolsonaro is accused of plotting to try to prevent
03:34the return to business of his great rival on the left,
03:37Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva,
03:39his fall in the scrutiny of 2022 and current head of state.
03:46As part of the trial of the Libyan financing,
03:49the French prosecutor's office asks to recognize Nicolas Sarkozy
03:52guilty of illegal financing of the campaign,
03:54title the Parisian in its edition of the day.
03:57Former ministers Claude Guéant, Eric Wörst and Brice Hortefeux
04:00must be recognized guilty of complicity with this crime,
04:03to consider the prosecutor Quentin Dandoy.
04:06This financial parquet has also already asked
04:09that the former president be recognized guilty of passive corruption,
04:12recidivism of public funds and association of abusers,
04:16no manipulation of revenge or conspiracy.
04:19The financial parquet has clearly refuted the thesis of the defense of Nicolas Sarkozy
04:23and reaffirmed the existence of a pact of corruption
04:26tied with Moaimac Raddafé before he financed his presidential campaign in 2007,
04:31adds the newspaper.
04:32The argument was repeated by the former head of state
04:35throughout the three months of trial.
04:37No one had spoken of a pseudo-financing of his campaign
04:40before he took the lead in 2011 of the international coalition
04:43which will contribute to change the Libyan regime.
04:46No one, except the former minister of oil Libyan, Choukri Rahanem,
04:50in his 2007 agenda which mentioned three money transfers
04:53for a total of 6.5 million euros
04:56corresponding to the different channels of financing identified by the accusation.
05:03In Venezuela, the government of Nicolas Maduro
05:06has ordered his officials to work only until noon
05:10for the next six weeks, explained Fecto Cocuyo.
05:13The Chavist government intends to fight against the climate emergency
05:17caused by the drought of this South American country
05:20to the tropical climate which draws a large part of its energy
05:24from wet hydroelectric power plants and is plagued by corruption,
05:28said the independent media in an article published at the beginning of the week.
05:32Apart from the essential services for the functioning of the state
05:35such as education and health,
05:37not concerned by the measure,
05:39the officials will have to lend a strong hand
05:42to the community self-government rooms
05:44to consolidate popular power during their free time,
05:47said Fecto Cocuyo.
05:49But no one really knows what this means concretely,
05:52apart from the fact that it could involve
05:54the officials working in the framework of the constitutional reform
05:57wanted by Maduro,
05:59which consists of reducing the autonomy of local elected officials
06:01in favor of community actors close to the executive.
06:04These self-management offices
06:06are in particular in charge of certain works in the municipalities
06:09following citizen consultations
06:11without the involvement of other administrative bodies,
06:14the independent media specifies.
06:17This is the end of this press conference.
06:19Thank you all for following it.
06:21See you next time on Mediantv.
