The decision has been confirmed on Friday at a meeting gathering National Secretariat, federations’ heads and representatives of the elected from different wilayas. M. Bouferoua justified the decision by the uselessness of the Senate (or Nation’s Council) and its insignificant role regarding citizens’ concerns. For most seats are in the hands of the power, in addition to Presidential Alliance’s hegemony on the other majority, he explains. The partaking of Socialist Forces Front in the by-election would give credit for the voting whereas the citizen and the party would gain nothing in return. Our interlocutor affirms that National Secretariat has made contacts with the elected and set up fellow-up mechanisms to enforce the party’s decision. He adds that Socialist Forces Front is convinced its activists would respect the decision; it nevertheless would seriously punish those who do not respect it. Some political parties are counting upon the front’s voices to get seat in the Nation’s Council, and have already started making contacts with the party’s militants. | ||||||||||||||||||
