Bruno Retailleau advocates dialogue with Morocco, firmness towards Algeria

In an interview, the French Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau (Les Républicains, LR), welcomed the efforts made by Morocco to facilitate the return of people subject to the “obligation to leave French territory” ( OQTF) and intends to advocate dialogue with him. On the other hand, he wants to engage in a power struggle with Algeria, which is not making enough cooperation efforts in terms of consular return authorizations.

“Morocco is a friendly country that I respect enormously, I have already had my counterpart the Minister of the Interior (Abdelouafi Laftit), we will first have a dialogue”, on the subject of the “Obligation to leave French territory » (OQTF), declared Thursday Bruno Retailleau (Les Républicains, LR) in an interview given to RTL. Since 2023, Morocco has no longer slowed down the effectiveness of effective deportations to the border once the obligations to leave French territory (OQTF) have been issued. The kingdom agrees to take back its nationals.
