Sarkozy Vows Once Again To Review French Agreements With Algeria

French right candidate in the upcoming Presidential Elections, Nicolas Sarkozy, placed the review of some of the agreements with Algeria at the forefront of his priorities if he will win the elections, and that will be realised if he’ll be safe from the guillotine of the French justice that is targeting him.

Sarkozy’s move came after a set of backgrounds in his hostility against Algeria without other former French colonies, such as the two neighbours, Tunisia and Morocco, which he considers important and can help the foreign policy of his country and focused on them in maintaining stability in France, and behind them the south of the old continent, while he considers Algeria as a nuisance and a threat to the stability of the entire region.

He started in his electoral campaign from a set of files that all mean Algeria in one way or another, such as immigration, the French identity and security, as he already revealed the hatred that he feels against the former colony of his country, both during his visit to Tunisia, where he accused Algeria of the security instability problems in the “Jasmine revolution” country (Tunisia), and considered the collapse of oil prices threatens the stability of Algeria which is near the southern border of Europe, in a lecture that he delivered in the United Arab Emirates.

All of these advances paid to believe that Sarkozy builds a part of his campaign on antagonising the French against Algeria, through the suggestion that it is source of a lot of French troubles, as he seeks through this speech, to evoke the pains of circles that are not yet ready to get rid of the nightmares of the loss of the “French Algeria” dream, like the “pieds noirs ” groups and Harkis, and those who share these convictions in the extreme right.

The other right-wing candidates (Republicans or former union for popular movement), like the former Prime Minister, and former French Foreign Minister, Alain Juppé, and the former Prime Minister, Francois Fillon, they did not show yet, what place them in the declared hostility against Algeria.

Alain Juppé is the closer candidate of the French right to Algeria, as he visited it in February of this year, and signed agreements between the cities of Oran and Bordeaux as he is the mayor of this city, and was received by a number of Algerian officials, in a visit that is considered an attempt by Juppé to overcome the problems that were caused by Sarkozy to the right-wing party when he was in the French presidency (2007/2012), with the Algerian authorities.

Although the chances of Sarkozy in candidacy remain small under the French justice decision to re-open the corruption files, in which he is involved earlier, but the Algerian authorities are invited to see the dangers of the possibility of the return of this political adventurer, to the Elysée Palace, because of what his positions and policies of chauvinism toward Algeria and its interests and its extensions in France may cause.

Weight of the Algerian community remains the most prominent weapon that can be employed against Sarkozy in the next Presidential Elections, but this card requires unremitting efforts to enlighten the French of Algerian origin and Muslim communities and immigrants in general with the risks that threaten their future if Sarkozy will win the race to the Elysee Palace.

Success of the plan to block Sarkozy from reaching victory in the French elections as a right-wing candidate, may confine the race between the candidates for both right and left, and this does not threaten the interests of Algeria, as long as the current President Francois Hollande (candidate for the left), is one of the best presidents, who led the Elysee with regard to French-Algerian relationships.
