Wailing in Paris over the loss of its gas production sites in Algeria

As the global energy crisis intensifies due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the scarcity of supplies from the Gulf region, a 'wailing' and regret among the French has emerged due to uncalculated steps in the Algerian gas sector, following the departure of 'Engie' from the Touat gas field at a time described as 'extremely bad'. This step was interpreted as a sign of the continued decline of French presence and influence. This regret in France was manifested through a lengthy article in 'La Tribune', titled 'The global gas crisis strikes as Engie withdraws from its sites in Algeria', where it became clear that the decision made before the outbreak of war in the Middle East, under conditions described as normal, has turned today into a costly strategic mistake.
