French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin (R) speaks with French Member of Parliament of ‘Les Republicains’ (LR) group and president of 'Les Republicains' Eric Ciotti (L) as they attend a debate called by right wing party 'Les Republicains' to propose a decision calling on the French authorities to withdraw the Franco-Algerian agreement of December 27, 1968, at the National Assembly in Paris, on December 7, 2023. On December 7, 2023, the French National Assembly rejected a text calling into question the 1968 Franco-Algerian agreement, which gives special status to Algerians in terms of travel, before launching the examination of a constitutional reform also proposed by the LR members of the Parliament, determined to increase the pressure on the presidential party over immigration.
