The Position On Western Sahara Has Broken The Back Of Bilateral Relations

The French press focused prominently on the statements of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune in response to the storm caused by the recent remarks of the French ambassador to Algeria, Stéphane Romatet, considering what is happening at the level of bilateral relations to be a new episode in the series of tensions that characterize the Algiers-Paris axis, while it was notable that the subject was ignored by the majority of right-wing and far-right outlets, which used to hold talk shows and interviews to insult Algeria and Algerians.

In this regard, the leading news channel in France, “TF1”, while reporting President Tebboune’s statements on its website, described what is happening between the two countries as a “new episode that comes after a deep crisis in which tensions escalated between Paris and Algiers in the summer of 2024 when France expressed its support for the autonomy plan under the (alleged) sovereignty of Morocco over the disputed territory of Western Sahara”, which caused Algeria to withdraw its ambassador from Paris, in a decision that served as a prelude to a series of events that further strained relations between the two countries.
