Demonstrations calling for the departure of the regime in Algeria continued, with the organization of protest vigils, yesterday, with the aim of exerting pressure on the Authority, to accelerate the adoption of a transitional period ending the rule of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika.
The staff of several public administrations and government departments held several towns in protest against the continued refusal of the authority to end their rule and to end the rule of President Bouteflika and the symbols of his regime. The staff of several towns entered a three-day strike. Bouteflika was dismissed by the director-general of the public television station, and Atefi Lutfi bar was replaced by Tawfiq al-Khalidi.
In the central post office in the center of Algiers, dozens of architects, representatives of township unions and resistance fighters who tried to organize a peaceful march gathered, but the police prevented them from doing so.
The Algerian News Agency reported that the Algerians residing in France, organized yesterday, a major demonstration in Paris, to confirm their demand for the President, the «radical change of the political system in Algeria», explaining that this demonstration was characterized by good organization, and the demonstrators organized traffic along the square Republic, and cleaned the place after the end of the demonstration.
As the popular movement entered its second month, the observers began to fear the political situation from losing control of the entire scene, in the absence of representatives of this movement, who are entitled to negotiate power for the next stage.
The spokesman for the National Liberation Front, the ruling party in Algeria, Hussein Khaldoun, said that the "national symposium", which Bouteflika called for in preparation for his abdication of power, "is no longer feasible." A new president must be elected now. He distanced himself from him.
"Now, frankly, we will review our position on the issue of the symposium, to decide whether or not we will participate. We at the FLN consider that even the symposium will not solve the problem, because those who will participate in the symposium are not elected," Khaldoun told Channel News. "The solution lies in the election of a president now."
"If we want to win the time, we have to establish the Independent High Electoral Commission and amend some article or some articles of the election law so that we can ensure the transparency and fairness of the elections, and then to lead to the elections, and the people who give it the majority is the president who addresses the people and addresses the movement. , Because it will enjoy the support of the majority of the Algerian people ».
For his part, the ruling party rushed to issue an "explanatory" statement, renewing its "commitment to the roadmap approved by Bouteflika." The statement said that the FLN is committed to organizing a national university seminar and expresses its positions through official statements issued by its leadership.
On Wednesday, Bouteflika was exposed to a new rift in the declaration of Moath Boucherb, head of the National Liberation Front (FLN), who supported the "popular movement" and called for "dialogue" to get out of the crisis.
The parliamentary group of Liberals and the non-members of the People's National Assembly called on the chairman of the council, Moaz Bouchareb, to convene an emergency session to "discuss the general situation and come up with a statement and measures that suit the aspirations of the people."
The group and the bloc said in a joint statement: "Given our country's great popular mobility, the fact that we are representatives of the people and demanding to raise its concerns and demands, we call for an emergency session to discuss the general situation and to come out with a statement and procedures according to the law. To move the meeting directly on public and private television channels ».
