Rabat is expected to host the Moroccan International of Publishing and Book Fair for the second year, which Casablanca used to host since its inception before the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to Hespress AR sources, it was decided to organize the 28th session of the Moroccan Book Fair in Rabat in June, instead of its previous date in February.
Among the new things that the session will bring is a broader investment in Rabat’s Souissi space, in order to add a space for reading.
It was also decided to continue the custom of honoring international entities, such as the literature of Sub-Saharan Africa in the previous session.
In this context, a controversy accompanied the announcement of the exceptional Rabat reception for the fair in 2022, which was previously explained by Mehdi Bensaïd, Minister of Youth, Culture and Communication, by the Casablanca city councils not supporting the previous sessions “even for a dirham,” while the Rabat Council added eight million dirhams to the 12 million dirhams allocated by the ministry.
