Regrettant « un contentieux créé de toutes pièces », Abdelmadjid Tebboune souligne que « l’unique point de repère » pour régler les différends entre Paris et Alger est son homologue français, et que la situation est désormais « entre de bonnes mains ».
Amidst a diplomatic crisis between France and Algeria, Algerian President Tebboune seeks to de-escalate tensions by emphasizing his relationship with French President Macron, whom he considers his "alter ego." The crisis was triggered by Macron's support for Moroccan autonomy in Western Sahara, leading Algeria to withdraw its ambassador. Tebboune addressed concerns regarding Algerians facing expulsion from France (OQTF) and affirmed that France's friendship with Morocco does not bother Algeria.
