This is good for the French economy, which has found a lucrative market and is going to be able to get its business working and such. But, does Morocco truly need such luxurious investments??? There are surely other priorities far more useful to the country’s economy. In effect, spending billions and billions of dollars in order save two or three hours in domestic travelling is truly nonsensical and out of line - not to mention other things.
