French candidate urges stronger Algeria ties
Ségolène Royal, the candidate in the Socialist Party's primary for the 2027 French presidential election, criticized France's policies towards Algeria. She opposed energy price speculation and France's lack of long-term contracts with Algeria, unlike Italy, Germany, and Spain, which have secured agreements to ensure their gas and oil supplies. She pointed out that the 84% increase in gas and electricity bills in France over four years reflects this decline, while other European countries benefit from their relationships with Algeria to enhance their energy security. She also strongly criticized the far-right rhetoric and media outlets that insult Algeria, calling for the development of strategic relationships with neighbors, especially Algeria, instead of the divisive policies pursued by some forces in France. Additionally, she highlighted her efforts to improve French-Algerian relations, including her work to secure the release of French journalist Kris Glick, who is detained in Algeria.
