Algeria - Rabia Khreis
Member of Algerian Front of Chang Lotfy Bahlool revealed that they decided to delay the exceptional meeting that was scheduled to be held on May 19 to be after the coming Ramadan. He stressed that the meeting will discuss a number of issues, including the front’s leadership and the way to manage the institutions.
He added, during an interview with “Arabs Today”, that the front, that decided to join a coalition with Algeria’s Community of Peace, will propose the formation of a Shura Council to decide whether Community of Peace will join the coming government upon the call of Algerian President or not.
He stressed that the leaders who refused to join the new government expressed their own opinions which do not represent the movement, saying that they should consider any step or decision they would take in institutional way. He stressed that the Community of Peace will not be able to take any decision without consultation with Front of Change.
He added that they have not taken any decision whether to join the executive authority or not, saying that they will hold a meeting to discuss the matter in the near future.
On the other hand, leading member of the movement Abdel Rahman Saidi defended their right to join the coming government, saying that such issues should not be considered upon personal viewpoints while through the institutions of the party.
He stressed that the movement should consider its position in the Algerian political life on the basis of the results of the parliamentary elections held on last Thursday on one hand and the current conditions witnessed in the country on the other hand.
He stressed that the recent parliamentary elections provided a clear opportunity to the movement to review its position and to correct the mistakes it committed during the recent period, calling the movement for focusing on the coming local elections. He stressed that the coming local elections are considered critical for the movement’s future.
