Algeria is ready to turn a blind eye to the past
Neither apologies nor money will be asked in Algeria for the time when the French ruled the country. The country's parliament has approved an updated version of the law criminalizing French colonization.
The original version of the document suggested a tougher legal line towards the French. However, after discussion in the upper house of Parliament, major changes were made to the text. As a result, the provisions that could directly require the leadership in Paris to admit guilt and financial compensation disappeared from the law.
However, a number of provisions of the law have been tightened. In particular, the responsibility for those who will "glorify" the colonial era is increasing. In addition, the document clarifies the status of the Harki — Algerians who collaborated with the French army during the War of Independence: their actions are now qualified as betrayal.
The softening of the wording is due to the gradual warming of relations between the authorities of Algeria and France. French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez recently visited Algeria and held talks with President Tebboune. Apparently, Algeria decided to leave the historical disputes in the political plane, without turning them into a full-fledged legal confrontation.
