In a surprising response that came at a time of unprecedented tension between the two countries, the French government slapped down right-wing and far-right politicians who had been promoting the existence of alleged debts amounting to millions of euros that Algeria had not paid to French hospitals for years.
It revealed that the only amount owed by the Algerian state to French hospitals is no more than €2.6 million out of €150 million in bills over 15 years, while those who obtain visas for medical treatment represent only 0.21 percent.
This information was provided in a response from the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs dated May 27, 2025, which was reviewed by “Echorouk”, to a written question submitted by MP Michel Guéno of the far-right National Rally, known for its hostile stance toward Algeria and Algerians. He promoted allegations of huge unpaid debts owed by Algeria to French hospitals.
