European Union Distances Itself From Sansal’s Support Committee

Noëlle Lenoir, president of the so-called International Committee in Support of Franco-Algerian Writer Boualem Sansal, expressed her dismay at the failure of the “strategy of extreme restraint” adopted by the French authorities and the lack of European Union support to confront Algeria’s strict handling of the Sansal case. This was the conclusion reached by the committee at a meeting of its members held on Thursday, July 17, in Paris.

The committee acknowledged, according to a statement circulated to the press and largely published in French media, that its efforts over nearly eight months “have not borne fruit.” This has prompted them to reconsider their working methods and seek out prominent figures with strong friendships with the Algerian authorities to soften their stance. In this regard, they mentioned the name of the revolutionary Brazilian President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
