Evian agreements: poison that has gangrene France since 1962

Diplomatic news is not lacking in spice at the moment. Wednesday, François Bayrou (re) launched the offensive against the “All agreements” spent with Algeria. Between tensions linked to the Sahara, the detention of the Boualem Sansal writer or there is no shortage of consular passports. But to focus only on the migration regulations of 1968, the Prime Minister does not take the full measure of the seminal hatred that Algiers has to the former colonizer since the end of the Algerian war. Diplomatic relations between the two countries were vitiated, in 1962, by the Evian “agreements” which were trampled on by the new Algerian regime and which should have been immediately denounced by France.

Hunted by France, they do not end the war, but relaunch it by exasperating it opening a tragic sequence for hundreds of thousands of black feet and harkis. Since then, FLN power has continued to agitate threats and repairs thus feeding a timely memorial rent of political diversion. His unnecessary idiots still participate in this provocative inflation comparing hazardously colonization to Nazism. The root of evil lies in the fact that the “agreements” of Évian were not the result of negotiations but a succession of renunciations of which France did not then measure the dramatic consequences on the human, moral, economical and migratory level. It is these agreements, humiliating for France, that we should start by abolishing.

Since 1961, secret interviews conducted on the initiative of France put in the saddle a militarily crushed FLN and sutured with internal conflicts. Very happy to be offered an unexpected role, the provisional government of the Algerian Republic intends to resume the diplomatic advantage. France thinks of keeping access to the Sahara and the maintenance of civil rights of “Europeans”. But the FLN, broken with the revolutionary dialectic, plays the balance of power convinced that France, like any Western democracy, will eventually yield. He radicalizes his position under pressure from the prisoner Ben Bella that De Gaulle curiously authorizes to participate in the discussion. Pressed in ” Quickly finish with the sorrow box », The Head of State lets go by almost everything, including what he considered intangible. It is a cowardly relief on the French side. But the text of the “Agreements” – Galvaudé term – D’Evian, is only a preliminary deemed neocolonialist on which the FLN returned, in 1962, by the Tripoli charter which contradicted the common program of March 18.

The FLN does not respect any truce, encouraging, on the contrary, civil war to obtain more concessions. The attacks and kidnappings of more than 3,000 Europeans paralyze opinion. The French of Algeria, amazed by the massacre of the rue d’Isly on March 26 committed by Algerian calls, are pushed to the exodus. Where France had rocked itself from the illusion of bringing together a composite company, including Europeans, the new Algeria ethically defines the “Algerian people” rid of the French of Algeria deemed unassimular. De factothe latter are dismissed from civic devices and the promise of a “protective” status for Algiers and Oran, where they had to be numerous, is forgotten.

The facilities granted to the arrival of Algerians in France have favored their massive installation for decades making them the most important foreign community in the country

Algiers also refuses that the Court of Guarantees provided for by the agreements settles. The rights of harkis are not respected. These Muslims who have chosen France, disarmed by Paris, are victims of arrests and torture in a climate of hatred hatred. No matter these dramas, Paris believes that they have saved the essentials, the bases in the Sahara but Algiers refuses to be carried out there nuclear tests. The heritage, robbed, are subject to management committees and will never be returned. But France still strives to pay more than 1.5 billion francs to Algiers to fill its deficit and buy the goods of French nationals. Tens of thousands of French civil servants, stipendies by the French taxpayer, are sent to Algiers to help education and public works. The “petroleum code” poses less problems since the agreements oblige France to buy, at a high price, hydrocarbons.

Foreshadowing the migratory agreements of 1968, those of Evian authorized in 1962 ” Any Algerian with an identity card (to) circulate between Algeria and France ». Since then, the facilities granted to the arrival of Algerians in France have favored their massive installation for decades making them the most important foreign community in the country. Visa’s obligation in 1986 does not deviate Algerian immigration, encouraged to leave by Algiers, in a hurry to settle in the former Honni persecutor.

The litany of provocations fulminated by the Algerian power to feel guilty our country draws its matrix from the “agreements” of Évian. The FLN found as much rights there as the means to humiliate France. The subsequent agreements have since been animated since this desire for revenge on the old colonial power. Algiers says he is now ready for “Force report”. It’s not new, he has hired it since 1954. But are we ready?
