DZWatch has learned that certain political parties are facing strong criticism for allegedly exploiting Algeria’s established positions for political gain. Critics argue that this behavior represents a form of political bankruptcy and a clear violation of the constitution.
According to sources, these parties are resorting to demagoguery as a pre-emptive campaign tactic ahead of upcoming legislative and local elections. This includes improperly addressing foreign policy, an area constitutionally reserved for the President of the Republic, who derives his authority from the popular mandate through elections.
It’s important to note that President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has clearly outlined the principles of diplomacy and policies that Algeria will pursue on current international issues. Attempts to undermine the country’s foreign policy are seen as an affront not only to the President but to the entire state.
Furthermore, concerns have been raised about other partisan practices, including demagoguery and the exploitation of national laws. Some parties have reportedly misrepresented judicial rulings related to combating hate speech, contradicting their previous stance within parliament and their support for the hate speech law, which their representatives ratified.
This inconsistency, according to observers, reveals an intention to return to corrupt political practices characterized by patronage, regionalism, and infighting – practices that were ostensibly ended on December 12, 2019. DZWatch will continue to follow this developing story.
The implications of these actions are significant as Algeria navigates a complex geopolitical landscape.
