🇫🇷🇩🇿 Since the end of July, products produced in France are no longer allowed to cross the Algerian border, with the exception of medicines. There was no official document or notification; Instead, a verbal directive was issued, continuing a fifteen-year trend of restrictions that turned from economic protectionism to political sanctions. In September, the weekly newspaper Marianne revealed that Algerian importers had, since the end of July, been verbally instructed to remove French products from their import forecasting programs (PPI). These PPIs are essential, as no bank can process a transaction without them.
