Many experts believe that the formation of Algerian government could be a turning point in the country’s history after the coming parliamentary elections scheduled to be held on May 4. They expect that the North African country could witness the first consensus government which would gather betweem the current ruling party with the opposition parties.
According to sources, Algeria’s Muslim Brotherhood held negotiations with President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to join the government after five years of absence since the group left the Algerian government in 2012 over differences with the ruling party.
Leading member of the group Abdel Razak Makri proposed the formation of a government including the efficient members from the winning parties of the coming parliamentary elections to lead the economic reform strongly needed in the country during the coming period to overcome the current challenges.
He added that the first job of the new government is to draft economic vision aiming to resolve the current economic crisis to pave the way for reforming the different economic and executive institutions of the country on the basis of the principles of good governance, accountability and transparency.
The Algerian politician warned the ruling authority from attempting to falsify the results of Algeria’s parliamentary elections, stressing that such a step could leave negative repercussions on the Algerian community during the coming period.
In the same context, leading member of Algeria’s Community of Peace Farouk Taifoor said that the group would participate in the coming government upon major conditions, including the integrity of the coming parliamentary elections. He added that they have not decided whether to participate in the coming government or not, saying that they still wait the coming elections to take their decision in this regard.
The opposition block to Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, which includes the largest opposition political parties, is in a state of a major conflict with the ruling party. The "Mezaffran" document, which emerged from the first meeting of the Algerian opposition, 20 years after the "Sant'Egidio" meeting in 1995 called the "Rome Agreement" and called the "Reconciliation Agreement", divided the opposition leaders.
The current that will participate in the election, scheduled to be held in May 4, represented by the Movement for a Society for Peace and Renaissance, and the Justice, Development and Rally Front for Culture and Democracy, believes that the Mezaffran document has no reason to boycott the election, while the other current, which announced its boycott to the election, continued to accuse his opponent in the body.
