Presidential election 2027: Bruno Retailleau wants to invite Boualem Sansal to his first rally

Bruno Retailleau wants to make Boualem Sansal one of the symbols of his presidential campaign. According to information from Franceinfo, the president of the Republicans and declared candidate for the 2027 election would like to invite the Franco-Algerian writer to his first major campaign rally.

Released at the end of 2025 after being pardoned by the Algerian authorities, Boualem Sansal became a major figure in the defense of freedom of expression. Bruno Retailleau had repeatedly spoken out in favor of his release, making his case a symbol of his firm stance towards the Algerian regime.

The presence of the author of "2084" would constitute a strong political signal for the right-wing candidate, who intends to place issues of sovereignty, freedom and Franco-Algerian relations at the heart of his presidential campaign.
