Moroccan authorities are moving to demolish the house of Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in the city of Oujda after it has become a fall and threatens the safety of neighboring houses. Local authorities in the eastern capital informed the Algerian consulate in Morocco of the decision to demolish the house.

However, in this case, the case is sensitive.
The sources said that the mayor of Oujda, Omar Hajira, met with the Consul General of Algeria, together with a woman representing the family of President Bouteflika, and informed him the details of the decision, and said: “We insisted that this be done in the shortest time in view of the situation of the house if a wall collapsed and killed someone, The case becomes too big.”
In the city of Oujda, another house was also moved to the family of Bouteflika, which is still in existence today and has been rehabilitated.
In the same context, the mayor of Oujda, Omar Hajira, said in a statement that he had received a woman representing the family of the Algerian president and informed her of the demolition decision has been understood, as it is expected to start local authorities soon to demolish the remains of the ruins of the old house, That “the actions taken so far tend to a final confirmation of the demolition of the old building.”
“The authorities have not yet started the demolition, but they have received notice of the start of work soon after notification of the family of Algerian President Bouteflika,” he said, adding that “the authorities are on the alert to demolish the building because of problems that may impede the passage of passers-by.”
The family of the Algerian president had earlier introduced several repairs and renovations on the house, before the intervention of the Department of Reconstruction and works to stop the work on the pretext of not available on the necessary administrative licenses.
