Tebboune: No compensation or apology from France
Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune affirmed that his country has not requested an increase in the visa quota from France, nor as compensation for the colonial period. He clarified that Algeria will never beg for anything. He also pointed out that Algeria did not ask for a specific quota or number of visas, and that it is not seeking an apology or reparations. He considers that the relationship with France should be based on mutual respect. This statement came in the context of remarks about France resuming the issuance of visas to Algerians after French ambassador's comments that sparked anger among some parties, as well as President Macron's statements confirming that there is no official decision to do so. Tebboune also emphasized that the issue of memory is related to Algeria's acknowledgment of colonial crimes, a stance supported by laws that have been ratified by the parliament.
