French Historian Dubs Macron’s Policy Towards Algeria, A Dismal Failure

French historian Pierre Vermeren judged French President Emmanuel Macron’s policy towards Algeria a failure, about a year before the end of his second presidential term, which witnessed the most dangerous crisis to hit bilateral relations since de Gaulle’s France was defeated by the Algerian Revolution in the early 1960s.

The author of the book “France and Algeria: From 1962 to the Present Day: A History of a Pathological Relationship,” published last month, said that “France’s policy towards Algeria under President Macron did not achieve what was hoped for, despite the concessions he made, especially regarding memory, and despite his recognition of guilt on behalf of the French state,” referring to his acknowledgment that Algeria was subjected to a war of extermination and heinous crimes against humanity by the French occupation army during the colonial era.
