Waciny Laredj criticizes digital influence on cultural heritage debates

Author Waciny Laredj has highlighted that the digital chaos seen on social platforms is a global phenomenon. During the signing of his latest book, "Rimitti.. Anachid al-jamr wa al-nar," he pointed out the lack of cultural depth among certain influencers who shape public opinion on sensitive heritage topics. Laredj advocates for rational intellectual debate rather than rejection or harassment. He expressed concern over the lack of a strong critical institution capable of guiding public discourse toward an objective understanding of history. His new novel, which explores the life of singer Saadya Badaif, aims to provide a rational view of popular heritage, moving beyond simplistic moral judgments and calling for a return to in-depth research.
