"We will not vote", "No vote with the mafia", "We canceled two elections. Never two without three, "chanted the protesters, also taking up the slogan that punctuated the first weeks of their movement:" No fifth term ". Protesters denounce the proximity of the current system with that of former President Abdelaziz Bouteflika
