The Algerian political landscape has just experienced a significant shift with the resounding announcement of Louisa Hanoune. As many expected, the secretary general of the Workers’ Party (PT) has withdrawn from the presidential race scheduled for September 7.
This final decision, heavy with meaning, was dictated by a political context deemed “implausible” and marked by the regime’s authoritarianism. The decision falls like a guillotine, but it shouldn’t surprise anyone. In a regime where authoritarianism rivals the absurd, Hanoune simply refuses to play the role of an extra in what resembles a grotesque comedy rather than a genuine election.
Application aborted by the system
Furthermore, the conclusions of the PT Political Bureau are unequivocal. The Algerian regime persists in its authoritarian practices, ignoring all the demands for reforms introduced by the Workers’ Party. It remains mired in its old authoritarian habits, ignoring all requests for democratic reforms. Worse, the PT alleges a deliberate desire to exclude it from the vote, rendering its participation impossible. Hanoune, weary of this masquerade, refuses to endorse this sham election.
The communiqué of the PT Political Bureau, written following an extraordinary session, is a scathing indictment of the regime. Hanoune details the reasons for this withdrawal, citing a regressive and anti-democratic legislative framework, a closure of the political and media field, and an electoral campaign planned in the middle of August, a period of great heat and holidays. The PT had nevertheless decided to participate in the election, not out of illusion, but out of a duty of responsibility in the face of global and regional challenges.
Call for popular mobilization for a vision of rupture
Despite this withdrawal, Hanoune calls on Algerians not to give up. She urges citizens to unite to change the course of things and to secure their socio-economic and cultural rights. The PT, she assures, will remain alongside the people in this fight for a true democracy.
Louisa Hanoune’s withdrawal from the presidential election is a powerful act of denunciation once morest a system deemed oppressive and anti-democratic. This withdrawal is also a call for mobilization and resistance, a reminder that the fight for rights and justice continues, despite the obstacles. Hanoune’s message is clear: only the union of the people can change the course of things in Algeria.
Hanoune outlines the PT’s political objectives, which focus on defending the rights of peoples, particularly the Palestinian people, and denouncing the “Zionist genocide” in Gaza and the West Bank. She stresses the need to break with the institutions inherited from the single-party system, to reform the economy to preserve the collective ownership of the nation, and to combat poverty and social exclusion.
Chaotic and above all suspicious electoral campaign
The collection of sponsorships, a crucial step for participation in the elections, has turned into a nightmare for the PT. Hanoune denounces a chaotic and failing organization, excluding hundreds of thousands of citizens from their political rights. The repeated requests of the PT, ignored by the ANIE (National Independent Authority for Elections), reveal, according to her, a political will for exclusion.
Faced with this absurd scenario and these insurmountable obstacles, the PT Political Bureau unanimously decided not to participate in the election. Hanoune announced the end of the campaign to collect sponsorships and the non-participation in the electoral campaign and the vote of September 7. She stressed the importance of restoring democratic freedoms to allow the people to exercise their sovereignty.
Furthermore, participating in this electoral farce would not only be useless but deeply degrading. The PT’s priority is to restore democratic freedoms and allow the people to exercise their sovereignty. Yes, we can always dream. Louisa Hanoune’s withdrawal from the presidential election is a scathing denunciation of a political system that is adrift.
A regime that confuses election and rigged election, democracy and disguised dictatorship. This withdrawal is not a surprise, it is obvious. Hanoune refuses to play the extras in a play written in advance by a regime in search of legitimacy.
