French parliament passes text denouncing 1968 Algerian accords

The French parliament has adopted a text by the far-right party Rassemblement National, with a close 185-184 votes, to denounce the French-Algerian accords of 1968, according to France 24 via AFP on October 30th.

While the resolution is only symbolic and doesn’t have any legislative value, the far-right party is celebrating its first-ever text initiative that was passed by the French parliament, and the leader of the far-right group Marine Le Pen demanded the government to acknowledge it.

The text is meant to denounce the 1968 Algerian accords that provide preferential provisions for Algerians to settle in France, and Le Pen declared that nothing justify such accords to exist anymore , especially after the tense relations between both countries in recent years.
