  Amid parliamentary deadlock, the politics of remembrance has gained momentum in France. Three new initiatives attempt to recognize and heal historical injustices at least symbolically.

French politicians, facing a lack of progress on current issues, are increasingly focusing on historical injustices, particularly those related to colonization and slavery. This shift is evident in recent political moves, such as the French parliament's decision to establish a commission to investigate the country's colonial past in Algeria and the ongoing debates about reparations for slavery. Critics argue that this focus on the past is a distraction from pressing contemporary problems like economic stagnation and social inequality. However, supporters believe that addressing historical wrongs is essential for national reconciliation and moving forward as a society. This trend reflects a broader global movement to confront historical injustices, but it also highlights the challenges of balancing historical accountability with present-day governance.
