Azouz Begag, former French minister: 2027 French elections unlikely to change Franco-Algerian relations

In an interview with Echorouk, former French minister and academic of Algerian origin Azouz Begag discussed recent changes in France’s official rhetoric toward Algeria, as well as visits to Algeria by prominent French figures in the economic and cultural sectors.

Begag commented on the recent statements made by French President Emmanuel Macron, who criticized those who advocate for a harsher stance toward Algeria, and his Interior Minister Laurent Nunez, who emphasized the importance of “dialogue” with Algeria. He stated, “We must acknowledge that the Franco-Algerian relationship, while undoubtedly historically significant, is no longer a top priority in France, just one year away from a critical presidential election that will determine the future of this country, which is currently experiencing a crisis both in Europe and globally.”
