Algeria has decided to recall its Ambassador to France for consultations over controversial statements of French President Emmanuel Macron.

It further noted that “recalling Algerian ambassador to Paris comes in response to irresponsible statements attributed to French President Macron over Algeria”.

Algeria categorically rejects the statements of the French President which “constitute interference in its domestic affairs”, it added.

French media said earlier on Saturday that Macron made some remarks during a short dialogue with a group of young people whose parents or grandparents fought with the French army against Algerian revolutionists during the Algerian War (1954-1962).

Macron reportedly said the country was ruled by a “political-military system” and described Algeria as having an “official history” which had been “totally re-written”, according to the French newspaper Le Monde.
