Edouard Philippe, a center-right candidate for the 2027 French presidential election, continues to pledge the revocation of the 1968 France-Algeria agreement concerning immigration. This treaty has governed the entry and stay of Algerians in France for nearly 60 years. Philippe, a former Prime Minister under Emmanuel Macron, consistently emphasizes his intention to abolish the agreement. The issue has become a central tenet of his political platform as he prepares for the upcoming election. His stance signals a potential significant shift in France’s immigration policy and its relationship with Algeria. The agreement's future remains a key point of contention in French political discourse. He views the current arrangement as outdated and believes a new framework is necessary.
