Unlike His Prime Minister, Macron Tends to Calm Things Down With Algeria

French President Emmanuel Macron’s statements from Lisbon, the Portuguese capital, revealed confusion about how to deal with the escalating crisis with Algeria.
While French Prime Minister François Bayrou spoke of a period of one month and six weeks to unilaterally review the 1968 agreement, Macron confirmed that he did not intend to take this option.
During his visit to Portugal, the French president confirmed: “We will not go to review (or cancel) the 1968 agreement unilaterally because that has no meaning,” a clear statement that raises questions about his prime minister’s words. Bayrou had gathered the pillars of his government last Wednesday at the “Matignon” Palace to address the issue of immigration and came out with provocative statements in which he gave Algeria between one month and six weeks to agree to review the agreement mentioned above and release the French writer, Boualem Sansal.
A day later, the Algerian Foreign Ministry responded with a firm statement rejecting the approach of “deadlines and threats.” It also warned the French authorities that the response would be immediate, strict, and of the same nature, with the possibility of extending the decision to other files according to what the “national interest” requires.
The French Prime Minister is in a real predicament, because his words after Macron’s statement fell into the water, and Bayrou’s credibility has become a matter of question in French circles, at the same time this fact reveals confusion and lack of coordination between French institutions, in dealing with the escalating crisis with Algeria.
Despite the firmness shown by Algeria towards the provocative French statements regarding the case of the French writer of Algerian origin, Boualem Sansal, who is in prison pending trial, in a very serious file in which targeting the country’s territorial integrity was mixed with involvement in acts harmful to the country’s supreme interest, Macron seems to be risking the failure of any appeasement with the Algerian side, as long as he insists on intervening in a case that is in the hands of Algerian justice.
The Elysee Palace resident called for a “resolution” of the case of the French writer Sansal as a token of confidence, while ignoring the main issue that was behind the outbreak of the crisis between Algeria and Paris, which was changing his country’s position on the Sahrawi issue last summer, in a way that serves the Moroccan regime, and in this a desperate attempt to escape forward.
Although the French president’s announcement that he had no intention of unilaterally revising or cancelling the 1968 immigration agreement was also a slap in the face to both his prime minister, François Bayrou, and primarily to the interior minister, Bruno Retailleau, since he was the one who championed this demand before and after being appointed to the interior portfolio, it remains a very small step, as it addressed one of the repercussions of the crisis and not its essence.
The French president admitted that there are no channels of communication between the two countries’ officials since Algeria recalled its ambassador from Paris, Said Moussi, a position that remains vacant, by saying: “We will not move forward if there is no work, and we cannot talk to each other through the press, it is ridiculous, things never work that way.”
Although he admitted that “bilateral relations cannot be the subject of political games,” he did not dare to rein in his Interior Minister, who has become an undisputed star on satellite channels and far-right media platforms, which attack, without professional ethics, Algeria, its institutions and its officials morning and evening.
