Benflis and Benbitour join the G-14 opposition against Bouteflika

Political base rejected all that is in the fourth term’s interest, and convergence which characterizes the relationship between the opponents of the opposition indicates the possibility of the release of final decisions by the Presidential Suite, which would exacerbate the current political tension.

According to sources from within the “political front”, which has become known as the G19 instead of the G-14 after the accession of new parties, and supportive personalities to the candidate Ali Benflis, in the form of the political activist Ahmad Adhimi, the historian Arezki Ferrad, and the former Communication Minister, Abdelaziz Rahabi, which was unable to be present due to traveling, but he encouraged the initiative, as well as former Prime Minister, Ahmed Benbitour, as the Rally for Culture and Democracy will be present as an observer.

Abdelaziz Rehabi, said in an interview with Echorouk on Sunday:”There is a comprehensive consensus on the level of the opposition, that rejects life presidency, and is opposing the amendment and the tailor made Constitution, before the presidential election, in addition to asking for the creation of an independent body for the supervision of the polls, through involving political parties, as well as modifying the Organic Law of the elections to ensure the integrity of the electoral process. The consensus may be unprecedented in the history of Algeria, because it comprises all the sensitivities in Algerian society, from the national, Islamic and democratic.
