The French legislature extends the indigénat law

📅 27 June 1888 📍 Algeria

The law of 27 June 1888 extended for two years the exceptional regime established in 1881. Repeated renewal shows that legal inequality was maintained through ordinary legislative procedures, rather than existing only as an emergency measure. Algerians remained subject to administrative penalties unavailable on the same terms to settlers.
