In the case of the Algerian influencer’s return to France after his expulsion, Algeria has refuted Bruno Retailleau’s accusations. The latter had affirmed that Algeria was carrying out a business of humiliating France.
The tone is rising with Algeria. Accused of participating in a campaign of escalation and humiliation by France when an expelled Algerian influencer was sent back to Paris, Algeria denounced “a companion of disinformation” against him.
“Algeria is, in no way, engaged in a logic of escalation, one-upmanship or humiliation,” the Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a press release. The vengeful and hateful extreme right, as well as its heralds, licensed within the French government, are currently leading a campaign of disinformation, even mystification, against Algeria.
These statements respond to those of Bruno Retailleau on Friday. The Minister of the Interior affirmed that “Algeria seeks to humiliate France. By keeping our cool (…) we must now evaluate all the means that are at our disposal, vis-à-vis Algeria.
A dismissal in stride

The Algerian ministry denounced the “exceeding” and “violations of acquired rights” by the influencer. The latter affirmed that his decision to send him back to France was motivated by the desire to allow him to respond to the accusations brought against him, to assert his rights and to defend himself within the framework of a fair and equitable judicial process. on French territory.
