By passing the entitlement of December 12th with the least damage, Algeria has passed a critical chapter from the political and institutional crisis left by the departure of Abdelaziz Bouteflika in the wake of the February 22 movement, according to observers.

However, according to these observers, the new president, Abdel Majeed Taboun, will enter the Mouradia Palace through an "Makhdouche" electoral track, compared to the size of the popular rejection against the course of the elections and their course, with the movement continuing in the street with its traditional demands ten months ago.

It will also bear the heavy burdens resulting from the state's disintegration during the last period of the previous regime's rule, not to mention a financial resource crisis that will reduce the chances of achieving social peace.

Thus, Taboon will be in an unenviable position, and in front of serious demands with distinction, which necessitates the prioritization of precisely.

Citizens opinions
To find out the most prominent of these urgent files in the context of the current stage, Al Jazeera Net monitored the opinions of a sample of Algerians, including activists, citizens, politicians and analysts.

Mohamed Rumailat wrote - on his Facebook page - that "you see inheriting a legacy from the rule of thieves, its effects are not easy to erase, and political noise is not easy to silence, and an economic situation in which the people began to become fed up, a poor educational system, and a healthy one that was almost in its oldest life." However, his total harmony with the army is a force for the country and the people. "

That is why Hisham Mowaffaq writes, "I think the elite must now contribute to drawing the duties of the new president, and put him before the first hundred days challenge and what he must achieve."

On these priorities, activist Abdel-Wahab Geagea told Al-Jazeera Net that it is necessary to amend the constitution to ensure the balance of powers, to open dialogue with a view to familiarizing with the societal rift taking place, and to pursue anti-corruption, not to mention re-consideration of Algerian diplomacy.

The director of the "Complementary" school, Youssef Obeid, also called for pardoning the prisoners not involved in violence and calling for a comprehensive dialogue to restore the wheel of political and legal life, with urgent economic measures to calm the social front.

The president of the "Meeting of Algerian Youth", Abdelmalek Ben Laour, hoped that the president would be inclusive of all Algerians with different ideas, and would work to restructure the parliament and local and state councils, in a way that reflects the people's free will.

Corruption war
The visions of the parties crossed with the attitudes of the citizens, as the temporary president of the Amal Amal Gathering Abdel Halim Abdel Wahab stressed the need to open a workshop to communicate with events within society with all its components, and to rebuild trust between the president and his people, not to mention improving the mechanisms of communication with the press and public opinion.

Urgent files
As for the president of the World Forum on Moderation, Abu Jarrah Sultani, he said that the urgent priorities of the people are how to deal with the movement, which constitutes a pressure card on the state’s policy and social security, and secondly, completing what has become known as besieging the “gang” and its tails and remnants to purify the country permanently.

As for the following priorities - according to Soltani - they are the formation of a "national unity government" that the movement is satisfied with, which will be at the level of the challenges of the decisive stage with the opening of political workshops, not to mention the permanent and pressing priority of each president, which is the demands of the social front.

Cooling down procedures
On the other hand, sociologist, Idriss Bulkayebat, believes that there are issues that the new president must take care of without delay, foremost among which is the launching of consultations to form a government of clean competencies, to calm the movement and send the ministerial work "almost paralyzed now".

He said the continuation of the war on corruption with the development of mechanisms to recover the looted money, a step that will strengthen the position of the new president popularly, with the resumption of idle development projects.

Polkaibat called for calm measures to be taken in the areas that boycotted the elections, and gambling on moderation to isolate the extremists.

He stressed the need to define the features of the new Algeria, by launching wide consultations on drafting a new constitution and organic laws, because the party map needs to be modified, he said.

He called for a speedy return to the international scene, as Algeria has gone through a state of self-sufficiency since the start of the popular movement.

The President's pledges
Abdel Majid Taboun himself answered these priorities during a press conference Friday evening, saying, "I extend my hand to a serious dialogue with the movement for Algeria."

He revealed that the first thing he would do is to radically change the constitution in the near future through a popular referendum.

"I am eager to visit the Kabylie region, and I will visit it when the opportunity presents itself, and it will be at the earliest," he added.

On the other hand, he stressed that the advancement of the national economy is its current priority and its preoccupation, and that the first task that he wants to devote is to restore the prestige, cleanliness and credibility of the state, pointing in this regard to work to "recover the looted funds at home and abroad at any cost."
