Built a few years ago, the Foum El Hisn artisanal complex, in the province of Tata, promotes the grouping of artisans and professionals to allow them to store their products while awaiting their commercialisation. This complex, the construction of which was suspended, cost several million centimes taken from the State budget, and therefore paid for by the taxpayer. It has been abandoned for a few months now, becoming a real dumping ground and a place for shady meetings. It is also a rallying point for traffickers of all kinds.

It was agreed with the company in charge of the project to complete the work within a period of 8 months. The sudden halt to the work surprised the inhabitants of the urban commune of Foum El Hisn, particularly the artisans. For they had high hopes for this complex, which was going to contribute to the promotion of their products and facilitate their commercialisation.

But if the suspension of this site has unpleasantly surprised the inhabitants, it is causing the State to lose significant amounts that would have been better used in this period of lean times.
