This circular in Algeria comes in the context of an unprecedented crisis with France. On April 16, Paris announced that it would expel 12 Algerian diplomats, and that it summoned its ambassador to Algeria, in response to the recent decision to expel 12 French consulate employees.
The relations between the two countries had returned to the zero point after the departments of the French Ministry of Interior on April 08, 2025 arrested an Algerian consular employee on the highway, at a time when these relations began to enter a stage of calm after the phone call between the two heads of the two countries, which was followed by the visit of France’s Foreign Minister to Algeria.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry, French Interior Minister Bruno Ritayo, held the full responsibility of the curriculum that the relations between Algeria and France will take after “a humiliating arrest of a consular employee protected by immunities and privileges.”
