Algiers – President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has directed the postponement of the planned technical amendment to the Constitution. The decision, announced earlier today, marks a significant shift in the government’s legislative agenda.
While no specific date has been set for the resumption of the amendment process, sources close to the presidency indicate that the delay is intended to allow for a more comprehensive review of the proposed changes. The technical amendment, initially slated for discussion in the coming months, aims to refine specific articles within the existing constitutional framework.
The reasons behind the postponement remain a subject of speculation. Some analysts suggest that the government may be prioritizing other pressing national issues, such as economic reforms and social welfare programs. Others believe that the decision reflects a need for broader consultations with political parties and civil society organizations to ensure a wider consensus on the proposed constitutional adjustments.
The Constitution, a cornerstone of the Algerian legal system, has been subject to several amendments since its initial adoption. These amendments have often reflected the evolving political landscape and the changing needs of the nation.
This latest postponement has sparked debate among legal experts and political commentators. Some argue that a delay could hinder progress on key reforms, while others maintain that a more thorough and inclusive review is essential to ensure the long-term stability and effectiveness of the Constitution.
