Algerian police have arrested those involved in the deliberate burning of national currency notes, along with filming and publicizing it on social media, thereby violating national symbols. The incident, where Algerian influencers burned money instead of candles to celebrate a birthday, sparked significant outrage in Algeria, leading to calls for accountability.
The anger stems from the act of burning money instead of candles during the birthday celebration of two well-known Algerian figures. Authorities from Algiers and the police department of Sidi Mohamed managed to apprehend the individuals after a video surfaced on social media showing a person burning 1000 DZD notes while celebrating their birthday with friends.
