According to terrorse: France threatens Algeria with the termination of special status

France threatens his former colony of Algeria with the termination of her special status if the country from France does not withdraw Algerier. The reconciliation of entry for Algerier, including the 1968 French-Algerian Agreement, then belonged to the test, said Prime Minister François Bayrou in Paris. France does not strive for such an escalation.

Bayrou now wants to leave Algier four to six weeks to rethink the situation. He also wants to transmit a list of priorities from people to Algeria who wants to show France with high pressure.

Algeria did not want to take back convicted Islamists

The harsh tones follow the terrorist in the Alsatian Mulhouse at the weekend, in which an Algerian, who lives illegally in France, killed a person and injured seven more. France had wanted to deport the attacker’s convicted for terrorist glorification to Algeria, which, however, refused ten times to withdraw his citizen. This caused outrage in France and continued the recently tense relationships with Algeria.

Initially, President Emmanuel Macron Algeria had seriously snubs when he recognized Morocco’s claim to the Western Sahara last summer. France, on the other hand, is outraged because of the arrest of the Franco-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal when landing in Algier in mid-November. The award winner of the Peace Prize of the German Book Trade 2011 has been in Algeria since then.

Paris and Algiers argue about influencers

There is also an exchange of blows around Algerian influencers living in France, which are said to have called for hatred and terror on social media. Paris failed with the attempt to deport one of them – Algeria promptly sent him back.

It is striking that President Macron has so far been silent about the dispute with Algeria, which is also fueled by the right -wing conservative Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau. Foreign policy falls under the sovereignty of the president in France.
