Algeria accused France of engaging in “open interference” in its internal affairs after French President Emmanuel Macron criticized the detention of Franco-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal.
The Algerian National People’s Assembly issued a statement condemning Macron’s remarks, stating that they represent “an infringement on Algeria’s sovereignty” and an attempt to “tarnish the image of its institutions.”
Macron had earlier criticized Algeria during a speech in December 2024, urging the government to release Sansal, who was detained in November 2024 on charges related to “national unity and territorial integrity” after making controversial remarks about Algeria’s borders with Morocco.
