Everyone is trying to get rid of everything that has a link directly or indirectly with the ex-president and Tunisian dictator Ben Ali. Everyone, even Marouane Mabrouk, president of the Tunisian subsidiary of Orange and son-in-law of Ben Ali who no longer wants to be assimilated to his stepfather dictator. Fleeing everything that can associate him with his in-laws as we flee the plague or rage, Marouane Mabrouk has already recalled, to those who want to hear it, that he has been separated for more than a year of Cyrine, Ben Ali’s daughter, and that he is even in the process of divorce.
But this obsession with cutting ties with the most hated family in Tunisia does not stop there. Indeed, Marouane Mabrouk or one of his collaborators went even to search the archives to find a photo of him on the day of his inaugural speech of Orange Tunisie (found on the WMC site as shown in the just photo above).
Obviously, as tradition dictates, he stood in front of the portrait of his stepfather. But for a few hours, the magic of the Internet, the portrait of the fallen president has simply disappeared behind Marouane Mabrouk on this same article. Photoshop has been there. This detail did not escape the journalist from Mediapart, Mathieu Magnaudeix, who immediately reported the fact on his blog. But that’s not all. Seeing that the touch-up of the photo was too obvious, it was removed and replaced by a tight plan of Mabrouk.
Definitely Marouane Mabrouk never ceases to fuel criticism. Thus, after the case of the notes of Hakim El Karoui in Ben Ali, at the personal request of the majority shareholder of Orange, he is trying to erase from our memory that he never had a direct link with the Ben Ali family.
On the other hand, the article by journalist Mathieu Magnaudeix on this photo story on the Orange site pushes us to ask ourselves if the journalists of Mediapart would be on Mabrouk?
