Royal Warns Paris Against Destroying Bridges of Communication with Algeria

Ségolène Royal, president of the “France-Algeria Association,” sensed that her achievements were under threat during her visit to Algeria at the end of January and in early February. She implicitly warned the French side that President Emmanuel Macron’s “forward-looking” policy toward Algeria could be dangerous. Royal perceives that such an approach risks alienating Algeria by disregarding long-standing grievances and failing to address historical sensitivities, which could result in further diplomatic estrangement, hinder cooperation on key issues like security and migration, and destabilise already fragile bilateral trust.

The former French minister, referring to Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Algeria next week, tweeted on Tuesday, April 7th, from the “X” platform, lamenting the decline in bilateral relations and holding the French side responsible for repeated offences and provocations against Algeria.
