Macron urges tougher line in standoff with Algeria

Macron Demands Tougher Stance Against Algeria

Calls for Respect as Tensions Boil Over Between Former Colonial Powers

French President Emmanuel Macron has called for a more assertive approach from Paris in the escalating dispute with Algeria, France's former North African colony. "Our stance needs to command respect," Macron asserted, according to sources close to the president.

This demand signals a shift away from the post-colonial reconciliation that Macron initially championed at the beginning of his presidency. Tensions between Paris and Algiers have reached new heights in recent months.
