In addition, Algeria’s President Abdelmayid Tebune sacked Finance Minister Abderramán Raouya after just four months in office and in the midst of the crisis with Spain.
The Algerian government attacked hard this Tuesday against the foreign minister of Spain, Jose Manuel Albareswhom he named “arsonist” because he implied that Russia would be behind Algiers’ last moves and has questioned his ability as a diplomat.
Entitled “Algiers-Madrid: The Arsonist Albares Flees Forward”, the state agency APS publishes an opinion piece blaming the foreign minister for the “unprecedented crisis” between the two countries and asking questions “the ability of an unworthy diplomat” of Spain and the Spaniards for having traveled to Brussels to seek their support after Algiers’ announcement that it was suspending the Friendship Treaty.
In this sense he accuses him of “handle” the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell, and of the European Commission’s “blurring credibility” for the statement “baseless against Algeria” it published following Albares’ visit on Friday, which warned of possible actions if it finds that the association agreement between the Maghreb country and the bloc has not been respected.
It also states that Albares is responsible for the “fly forward” that it marked a change in the Spanish government’s position on the Sahara and that it “has ridiculed its government by isolating it both within parliament and from Spanish public opinion”.
Algeria fires finance minister
On the other hand, the president of Algeria, Abdelmayid Tebune, fired the finance minister on Tuesday, Abderraman Raouyaafter only four months in office and in the midst of a crisis with Spain, as the APS office announced in a short statement.
In turn, President Tebune has ordered the Secretary General of the Ministry of Finance, Brahim Jamal Kassalicwhich guarantees “the interim” of the portfolio.
Although the brief statement does not provide more details, the shutdown comes a week after the suspension of the Good Neighborhood Treaty with Spain, in force since 2002, and the freezing of direct debits for foreign trade transactions of products to and from this country. .
