Watan<\/strong><\/em>-The local newspaper Sud-Ouest reported that the diplomatic dispute between France and Algeria has put the Grand Mosque of Paris in an uncomfortable position, as it faces criticism over its relationship with Algeria.<\/p>\n

The Grand Mosque of Paris is set to host its fourth \u201cAmbassadors\u2019 Iftar\u201d this Tuesday, with Foreign Minister Jean-No\u00ebl Barrot expected to attend the meal. However, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau will not be among the attendees, unlike former Interior Minister G\u00e9rald Darmanin, who had participated since 2022.<\/p>\n

Challenges During Ramadan<\/h3>\n

The newspaper added that the mosque is facing additional challenges, particularly during Ramadan, a period when around 80 Algerian imams reciters are usually sent to temporarily support the religious staff. This year, however, none have arrived. Government sources explained that \u201cthe consulate has not received any visa applications from Algeria.\u201d The rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris, Chems-Eddine Hafiz, acknowledged the difficulties, stating: \u201cThe situation is complicated,\u201d according to the French newspaper.<\/p>\n

Accusations and Counter-Accusations<\/h3>\n

The newspaper highlighted an accusation from January against the administration of the Grand Mosque of Paris, alleging that it had established a highly profitable monopoly system for halal certification in coordination with Algerian authorities to facilitate the export of European products to Algeria.<\/p>\n

In response, the mosque\u2019s rector, Chems-Eddine Hafiz, dismissed the allegations as \u201ccompletely false slanders\u201d and defended the mosque\u2019s role, saying: \u201cThe Grand Mosque of Paris has never hidden the relationship between Algeria and France. We are a positive bridge between the two countries. This is not a matter of influence or anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

The French newspaper also noted that the Grand Mosque of Paris, which was inaugurated in 1926, has received annual funding from the Algerian government since the early 1980s, amounting to approximately two million euros.<\/p>\n

\"The
Algeria-France relations<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Under Scrutiny<\/h3>\n

The mosque faced criticism after its rector refused to participate in the march against antisemitism organized on November 12, 2023, due to his refusal to walk alongside leaders of the far-right National Rally party. Hafiz described this as a \u201cturning point\u201d in his political stance, stating: \u201cIn the past, I was the Muslim that everyone sought to engage with at any cost. Then suddenly, I became the worst antisemite.\u201d<\/p>\n

The French newspaper quoted Franck Fr\u00e9gosi, author of Governing Islam in France, who noted that \u201cthe Grand Mosque of Paris has so far been viewed as the loyal soldier of the Republic, the ideal model of republican Islam.\u201d<\/p>\n

It had been considered the preferred interlocutor for French authorities, particularly after the decline of the French Council of the Muslim Faith in 2021, which had been the official representative body of Islam in France since 2003.<\/p>\n

In 2022, between the two rounds of the presidential election, Hafiz organized a \u201cRepublican Iftar\u201d in support of Emmanuel Macron\u2019s re-election, attended by former Interior Minister Christophe Castaner.<\/p>\n

Fr\u00e9gosi also pointed out that \u201cthe Grand Mosque of Paris feels targeted by a ministry that was previously lenient towards it.\u201d He believes that the current Interior Minister, Bruno Retailleau, is seeking to enforce a stricter approach to regulating Islam in France, attempting to present himself as \u201cthe one who achieved what others did not dare to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Algerian

Diplomatic Crisis and Immigration<\/h3>\n

The French newspaper continued, noting that the current diplomatic crisis between Paris and Algiers erupted after France recognized Morocco\u2019s sovereignty over Western Sahara at the end of July 2024. Tensions<\/a> escalated further with the arrest of writer Boualem Sansal\u2014who holds dual French-Algerian citizenship\u2014in Algeria on November 16, 2024.<\/p>\n

In this context, Hafiz faced criticism for not calling for Sansal\u2019s release. A source familiar with the case told the French newspaper: \u201cWe can no longer look at the Grand Mosque of Paris with the same leniency after the Sansal case. The institution is caught in its contradictions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The crisis also has an immigration-related aspect, the newspaper explained, referring to Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau\u2019s threat last Saturday to resign if Paris backtracks on deporting Algerians residing illegally in France.<\/p>\n

For his part, Hafiz wrote a political article earlier in March criticizing \u201cfear-mongers\u201d in political and media circles who fuel the \u201cperpetual trial\u201d against Algerian immigration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
