French deputies adopted a resolution denouncing the Franco-Algerian agreement of 1968, with 185 votes in favor and 184 against, supported by the right and the center.

The National Assembly of France adopted a resolution proposal that denounces the Franco-Algerian agreement of 1968, with 185 votes in favor and 184 against, largely due to the absence of some members of President Emmanuel Macron's party. The resolution, promoted by the National Rally (RN), was supported by deputies from the right and center, including the Republican group and the Horizons party. Marine Le Pen, the leader of the RN, stated that it is a historic day for the party, emphasizing that it is the first one approved by the Assembly. Although the resolution does not have legally binding character, it has significant symbolic importance, considering the current tensions between France and Algeria.

The 1968 agreement grants specific rights to Algerian citizens in France, including a ten-year residence permit. The vote was marked by a significant absence of Macronist deputies, which sparked criticism from the opposition. Socialist and ecological leaders emphasized that the absence affected the voting outcome, and some accused the RN of racism. Gabriel Attal's team justified his absence due to a pre-existing commitment, although he had previously called for the denunciation of the agreement. Following this resolution, deputies will discuss a bill to restore the crime of illegal residence.
