The relationship between Paris and Algiers remains "totally frozen", deplores the head of French diplomacy

Jean-Noël Barrot promised a "firm" and "immediate" response after this new decision by Algiers.

The head of French diplomacy was the guest of France Inter, France Télévisions and the "World" on Sunday.

Despite the displacement this week of several French elected officials in Algeria to commemorate the massacres of 8 May 1945, relations between the two countries remain "blocked", according to Jean-Noël Barrot, who does not exclude taking new sanctions.

The French Foreign Minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, considered that diplomatic interference was "the fault of the Algerian authorities" and added that France did not forbid new sanctions.

The displacement of several French elected officials to Algeria to commemorate the massacres of 8 May 1945 did not unlock the situation. The Minister of Foreign Affairs did not exclude new sanctions.

Twelve French officials were expelled by Algiers in mid-April, and Paris carried out similar reprisals on the same subject
