After several structures and personalities spoke about the affair linked to Amira Bouraoui, it was the president of the national movement “El-Bina”, Abdelkader Bengrina who spoke.
Indeed, he published a statement on his official Facebook page on Wednesday, February 8, 2023 denouncing the violation of national sovereignty by official organs of the French state.
In the same statement, he explains that these actions that violate national sovereignty are unacceptable and break the standards of good neighborliness and mutual respect.
Bengrina adds, that it speaks “as a political party, an elite party and citizens” and that it is attacking the sovereignty of our homeland or interfering in its internal affairs.
At the same time, it recalls that respect for the principle of equality and consideration of the interests of others have become essential to building a common future based on good understanding between neighbours.
Finally, he adds that he does not advocate war or constant hostility, but is more a defender of lasting values, centered on the stability, security and prosperity of a “Mediterranean without foreign influence”.
