Algeria Rejects French Deportation List, Citing Procedural Violations

France plans a 'graduated response' as tensions rise over deportation protocols and bilateral agreements.

Algeria has officially rejected a French list of Algerian nationals slated for deportation, citing procedural and diplomatic concerns.
The rejected list includes individuals deemed dangerous by France, some of whom have been convicted of offenses against public order.
Algeria criticized France for bypassing established bilateral deportation procedures and denounced perceived threats and ultimatums.
French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau announced plans for a 'graduated response' and raised the possibility of reconsidering the 1968 agreements governing Algerian nationals in France.
This dispute adds to already strained relations between the two nations, which have been affected by geopolitical disagreements and anti-French sentiment in Algeria.
