French deputies approved this Thursday a resolution which condemns the bloody and murderous repression of Algerians committed under the authority of the prefect of police Maurice Papon on October 17, 1961. The guest of RFI, the environmentalist deputy of Hauts-de-Seine, Sabrina Sebaihi, is at the origin of the text which calls for the “recognition and condemnation” of the massacre and her writing was the subject of frequent exchanges with the Élysée.
