Algerian lawmakers condemned the European Parliament's resolution criticizing the arrest of French-Algerian novelist Boualem Sansal, accusing it of misleading allegations and political interference. Sansal was arrested on national security charges, and his case has garnered support from European writers and politicians. President Macron criticized Algeria for imprisoning Sansal, calling him a 'freedom fighter' and urging his release. The situation reflects ongoing tensions between Europe and former colonies regarding criticism.
