Several national newspapers have condemned the political and media campaigns led by certain French circles hostile to Algeria, following the confirmation by the Tizi Ouzou court of the verdict against French journalist Christophe Gleizes. He entered Algeria disguised as a tourist with the aim of advancing a fictional narrative as part of subversive activities, benefiting the terrorist organization MAK.
In an article titled "When Paris Drowns in Its Own Hypocrisy!", the newspaper Le Soir d'Algérie wrote that "France, in the guise of a lecturer, criticizes Algerian justice, which has never stopped a French diplomat on the street based on a mobile phone signal," referring to the incident where an Algerian consular official was detained in Paris last April 11th, in a blatant violation of diplomatic norms and rules.
The newspaper also pointed to the case of national team player Youcef Atal, whom French justice sentenced to six months in prison, suspended, for a post supporting Gaza during the peak of crimes committed by the Zionist occupation. The paper considered that "justice in France is nothing but a political tool, a means of repression, and a moral cover for a class that still believes it controls the world."
In an in-depth analysis, the newspaper lamented that "France does not respond to international arrest warrants issued by Algeria. When it comes to criminals who have plundered the wealth of the Algerian people, Paris suddenly suffers from amnesia, deafness, and blindness. It is these international warrants from Algeria that are ignored, obstructed, and buried in drawers."
For its part, the newspaper El Khabar denounced the clear support France provides to the terrorist movement MAK. The newspaper stated that "France opens its doors wide to MAK, an organization classified as terrorist in Algeria, under the cover of labeling it an association under the 1901 law," affirming that the case of journalist Gleizes "reveals France's cunning, calculated complicity, and political exploitation of a separatist group to undermine Algeria's stability."
The newspaper added that "the case of Christophe Gleizes is not a case of a journalist in the professional sense, but rather the case of a person who came to Algeria disguised as a tourist to propagate a separatist narrative, tasked with a mission from the MAK movement, which is classified as terrorist by Algeria and covertly supported by French agencies."
"And when Algerian judiciary moves within its full sovereignty, Paris cries injustice and waves the flag of press freedom, relying on its old dictionary about freedom of expression, as if political espionage under journalistic cover is a sacred right."
The national newspapers conclude by stating: "Algeria does not take lessons from anyone, and certainly not from a French authority experiencing a moral collapse," adding that "Paris is angry and agitated because Algeria is advancing and no longer bows its head. The Algerian people have decided to look forward, without permission, guardianship, or constraints. And precisely for this reason, France does not forgive and perhaps never will."
