Editorial: Le Monde

• The sentencing of French journalist Christophe Gleizes by an Algerian court has taken many by surprise and caused discomfort.
• A recent grace granted to a Franco-Algerian writer seemed to signal an improvement in Algerian-French relations.
• However, this progress seems to have been overridden by the sentencing of Gleizes, who is perceived as a threat.
• The whole situation raises questions about the rationality and stability of the Algerian regime, which seems to be acting erratically.

Conclusion: The Algerian regime appears to be putting its own interests and internal struggles above its international reputation and relations with other countries, particularly France. The recent incidents undermine the hope for more constructive dialogue and stability in bilateral relations.
