Algerian diaspora candidates are campaigning in France for upcoming legislative elections, reportedly encountering latent "algérophobie." A candidate from the FLN party held a meeting in Paris.

Ahead of Algeria's legislative elections, candidates representing the Algerian diaspora are campaigning in France, with some facing what is described as latent "algérophobie." In Paris, Yacine Delimi, 32, a candidate from the Front de Libération Nationale (FLN) party, held a campaign meeting on June 21. Addressing a modest audience, Delimi presented his program following the Algerian national anthem, a minute of silence for martyrs, and a prayer. The event highlighted the challenges and political engagement of the Algerian community in France as they participate in their home country's electoral process.
