Will FFS Participate in the New Algerian Government?
The Socialist Forces Front is living these days on the impact of interactions that may come out to the public after the party leader Houcine Ait Ahmed, revealed is his letter from Switzerland on Tuesday, the size of the internal conflicts within the oldest opposition party in Algeria.
This crisis was the result of a letter sent by 150 members within the party to Houcine Ait Ahmed, without revealing the matter to the public, criticizing the way the party is conducted, and denouncing its participation in 10 May elections, therefor Ait Ahmed decided to punish those who prevented the party from reaching better results than that levied during the last election.
According to the sources from the party, a serious internal debate about the way the FFS delt with the political “sensitive” phase using new data, as some work in the direction of “effective” political alliances” in the National People’s Assembly, adding that these alliances will not be affective unless they are with the National Liberation Front which won 221 seats, and due to the “generic” convergence between the “two historical fronts”, a convergence which was revealed explicitly by the Secretary-General of the FLN Abdelaziz Belkhadem, who expressed the desire of his party in the coalition with parties close to the orientations of FLN; “If it were up to me I will be allied with FFS”, considering that Algeria needs a “party that proved its national directions”, a statement that was seriously appreciated by Ait Ahmed, especially as it is not the first time that the two parties create an alliance by returning to the national contract of agreement in Sant’ Egidio in Rome.
