| Summary: | In the polarized political climate which preceded the adoption of the recent immigration law, French political forces sought to obtain the unilateral denunciation of the 1968 Franco-Algerian agreement relating to movement, employment and to the stay in France of Algerian nationals and their families to which Algeria, through President Tebboune, says it is still attached. Over time, this text, enshrined in the principles of the Evian Accords of March 1962, actually came to limit the free movement which had been established, largely following a political calculation which proved to be erroneous, between the Algeria and France and reconcile clearly divergent interests since 1963 (I). From then on, contradictory strategies clashed, of which the 1968 agreement was the crossing point. The confrontation continues, not always quietly, through the French desire to align the content of the 1968 agreement with the common law of foreigners and the Algerian desire to keep it even if it means restricting its scope. This leads to an overvalued perception of the resulting rights and their true scope (II). The postponement in 2012 of discussions on a draft fourth amendment shows how difficult the positions of the two countries have become to reconcile. Rejecting in 2023 the unilateral denunciation, doomed to failure from a legal point of view, demanded by its opposition and even by some in the ranks of its own majority, the French executive, without us yet knowing the Algerian position, opts for a revision of which we can, at this stage, only prejudge the content and attempt to evaluate its strengths and weaknesses (III). |
