Macron's Responsibility for MPs' Vote Against 1968 Franco-Algerian Accord
On October 30th, MPs in the National Assembly voted for a non-binding motion criticizing the 1968 accord between France and its former colony Algeria.
This vengeful resolution, oozing in resentment, was made possible by the far-right's active allies on the Right and silent ones in the centre.
Parliament's honour has finally foundered, swallowed up in waves of republican disgrace, to the cheers of the far-right.
The French president's laissez-faire attitude has contributed to France's inability to acknowledge its colonial past.
