Benflis, Hamrouche and Ghazali race on the roles of the next stage

It is a progress even though it did did not bring immediate results, but it laid a tradition that can be found for a bright future, if it continues for longer time.

It seems that  the hard experiences by the opposition over nearly a quarter of a century, amid the undemocratic practices by the authorities, were finally useful in creating a new approach that stems from the actual data, based on the confluence of political parties on a minimum level of compatibility, as this has been demonstrated through the “Coordination for Freedoms and Democratic Transition” and the “Change Bloc”.

Coordination includes political parties that did not share at all convictions and ideological orientations, however, their parties sat, for example, at the same table, such as MSP, Annahda Movement and the Front of Justice and Development, with an Islamic background, and the Rally for Culture and Democracy, New Generation Party (Jil Jadid) , Known for their secularism, then they all agree with the President of the Reforms’ Government, Mouloud Hamrouche and Sid Ahmed Ghazali.

Same thing for the “pole of Forces for Change” which includes Islamic parties, such as the National Reform Movement, and the front of the New Algeria, however, it did not find it embarrassing to sit to other parties that are not of the same ideology, such as the New Dawn Party (Fajr Jadid) and the Union of Democratic Forces, as they all lined up behind the former candidate for the presidential elections, Ali Benflis.

It is known that one of the reasons that are cited by the opposition after the results of the recent parliamentary elections, to justify their failure, in the large number of political parties that fought in the elections’ race, which contributed, according to them, in distracting voters, a data that served the regime’s party, the National Liberation Front and the Rally of National Democracy.

Although it is too early to deny such alignments, but the political process noticed a progress, through the melting of these parties in blocs or political fronts, as experienced by some countries of ancient democracy, that are known for the pattern of poles, such as Great Britain ( Labour and Conservative Parties ) and the United States of America ( Democratic and Republican Parties), but such a development, is an achievement at least given the “political war” that was raging between the parties.

Political opposition scene seems these days like swinging between two political blocs, but they stand at the same distance from another pro- authority pole, which is composed of the National Liberation Front and the National Democratic Alliance, so will this situation continue, or will things return to the previous status once elections will be far?
