The release came amid a change in France’s interior minister, bringing a softer diplomatic approach as France navigated its complex relationship with Algeria. Germany played a key role in mediating, while France also engaged other diplomatic figures, including the Italian Prime Minister and the Pope. Ultimately, the intervention of the German president proved decisive in securing Sansal’s freedom. FRANCE 24’s Marc Perelman has the details.
