“Emmanuel Macron’s statement about Algeria shows the deep dismay of a man who, failing to win major battles, hopes at least to win his electoral battle. Through his statement, Macron tries to put the Algerian debate back on the French political scene in an approach made up of outbidding and populism “, he asserts.
Algiers announced on Saturday the “Immediate recall” of its ambassador in Paris and decided on Sunday to de facto prohibit the overflight of its territory to French military planes as a response.
