Secretary General of the Algerian opposition Workers’ Party, Louisa Hanoune confirmed that, her party is ready to coordinate with other parties that are willing to fight bills that won’t serve Algerians and to eliminate corruption.
She said in a statement to “Arab Today” that, the merger between her political party and other parties that refuse to undermine the economic fundamentals especially in the current situation is a possibility, confirming she has no problem with ruling party candidate Saeed Bou Haja winning the presidency of the Algerian Parliament, and the party will deal with the situation as a political one and nothing else.
She accused the government of stealing 10 seats from her party during the parliamentary elections on May 4, confirming that, her party members will continue their fight for the people and the country inside the parliament. She also stressed on the importance of releasing the report prepared by the Independent Supreme Commission for Election Observation to the public like the other countries.
She attributed the decline of her party share in the Algerian Parliament to the opposition stands and arguments of the party members with Zygod Yousef during the last legislative term such as, Budget Law for 2016 which witnessed a lot of argument between pro and opposition parties’ members including Worker’s Party.
She said her party is not concerned with the Algerian Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sallal consultations regarding the new government, and she has no desire to join the next government, and her party will always work with parties defending citizens and Algeria. She also praised the decision of the Community Peace Council, which decided not to accept the offer of Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to join the government.
