French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau on Friday accused Algeria of “trying to humiliate France” after the North African country refused to admit one of its nationals who was being deported.
The influencer was arrested in the city of Montpellier on Sunday on charges of inciting violence in videos he posted on social media. French immigration officials put him on a flight to Algiers Thursday, but Algeria refused to admit him, saying he was banned from entering its territory. He was finally sent back to France that evening, the French interior ministry said.
