Did the French language disappear from Algerian banknotes because of Emmanuel Macron? Yes, according to Jean-Luc Mélenchon. In a tweet, the leader of the rebels comments on the photo of a new 2000 dinar note issued by Algiers. It says in English: ” two thousand dinars “. On the other hand, no trace of French, laments Jean-Luc Mélenchon who comments: “ This is an Algerian banknote. The common language is no longer. Sadness. »
And to blame it on Elisabeth Borne and Emmanuel Macron, who had recently traveled to Algeria to reconcile Paris and Algiers after months of tension. ” Macron Borne have failed in everything and for everything. The LFI deputy is probably relying on a dispatch from the Turkish press agency Anadolu, which indicated: English replaces French on the new 2000 DA banknote “.
The problem is that the information is wrong. Because if this is the first time that English appears on the currency issued by Algiers, the French ceased to appear more than 40 years ago. Contrary to what some media may have written in reaction to this historical controversy, the French language did not disappear immediately from banknotes after independence. An excerpt from Official Journal of the Algerian Republic published on December 8, 1964, two years after the independence of Algeria, confirms that text in French appeared on the back of certain banknotes.
It was in 1977 that Arabic definitively replaced the language of the former colonizer. As can be seen on the Numizon site, which lists all Algerian banknotes.
