The President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune, affirmed that the administrative redistricting was an “inevitable necessity” to find a balance between rural and urban communes and thus enshrine the principle of democratic practice.
This statement was made during his working visit to the wilaya of Tizi Ouzou last Wednesday, during his meeting with representatives of civil society and whose content was broadcast on Saturday evening in a documentary on national television. The President mentioned, in this regard, the case of certain municipalities that are experiencing a financial deficit. In order to remedy this, “administrative redistricting is an inescapable necessity,” he stressed, explaining that “the current organization is no longer adapted to the socio-economic reality of the country.”
“Democracy begins with the municipality, hence the need to open the issue of administrative division, otherwise we will waste even more time,” continued the President of the Republic. “The promises and programs presented by candidates in local elections often come up against a different reality. This must be remedied,” he insisted.
The issue of administrative division is a “priority”, the President of the Republic said again, assuring that the communal and wilaya codes “will guarantee the required balance between rural and urban communes, thus enshrining the principle of development across all the wilayas of the country”.
“Development is a right for every Algerian citizen, but its effective implementation and the achievement of the expected objective require in-depth studies,” he said. And to recall, in this regard, “the experiences of stillborn projects that we were forced to convert,” calling for “letting technicians do their job and seeking their opinion on the feasibility or not of the projects.”
The President of the Republic also stressed that Algeria “is moving towards a market economy”. “In the 1980s and 1990s, the State laid the foundations for centralized investment, but today, we are moving towards a free economy, where the investor plays a central role and where the State supports him by creating the appropriate conditions and removing bureaucratic obstacles,” he explained.
“We have paved the way for Algerians to contribute to development and each citizen can invest in their country with complete peace of mind. We have achieved what has not been achieved for twenty 20 years,” he rejoiced. Regarding the allowance granted to housewives, the President of the Republic specified that it is part of national solidarity and that it contributes to improving the material situation of this section of society. The documentary by Algerian Television also reviewed the main stages of the visit of the President of the Republic to the wilaya of Tizi Ouzou and the inauguration of several development projects.
