The Algerian government, led by Prime Minister Noureddine Bedoui, held its first meeting on Wednesday to examine several pending dossiers and projects that had been stalled for months or even years. The meeting aimed to address various issues, including the approval of political parties and national and inter-wilaya associations. According to the Algerian Press Service (APS), the government reviewed applications submitted to the Ministry of Interior, Local Authorities, and Territorial Planning.
The government has tasked the Minister of Interior, Local Authorities, and Territorial Planning with implementing the approval process for political parties and associations, in accordance with the Organic Law No. 12-04 of January 12, 2012, and Law No. 12-06 of January 12, 2012. Similarly, the Minister of Labor has been entrusted with examining and processing applications from trade unions, following the provisions of Law No. 90-14 of June 2, 1990. This move aims to regulate the activities of political parties, associations, and trade unions in Algeria.
Another significant decision made during the meeting concerns the allocation of state advertising, managed by the Algerian National Advertising Company (ANEP). The government has adopted a decision to ensure transparency and objectivity in the allocation of public advertising, without any exclusion or discrimination between public and private media outlets. The Minister of Communication, Government Spokesperson, has been tasked with developing the necessary tools and mechanisms to regulate this process.
The government has also examined and adopted two executive decree projects. The first decree establishes the operating modalities of a special allocation account, No. 149-302, titled "Special Fund for the Exploitation of the Customs Administration's Computer System." The second decree involves the dissolution of the Mustapha Ben Brahim Vocational Training and Apprenticeship Center in Sidi Bel Abbès and the transfer of its assets to the Algerian Company for Electronic Systems Manufacturing (SCAFSE).
Furthermore, the government has adopted two additional executive decree projects that complement the list of specialized hospital establishments and public hospital establishments. Five new specialized hospital establishments will be created in the wilayas of Béchar, Tizi Ouzou, Ouargla, Mascara, and Souk Ahras. Additionally, 19 public hospital establishments will be established in various wilayas, including Batna, Biskra, Bechar, Djelfa, Sidi Bel Abbès, Mostaganem, Khenchela, Souk Ahras, Nâama, Aïn Témouchent, and Relizane.
The government's decisions aim to address various issues, including the regularization of political parties and associations, the allocation of state advertising, and the development of healthcare infrastructure. These measures are expected to have a positive impact on the country's political, social, and economic landscape. The government's efforts to regulate the activities of various entities and improve healthcare services demonstrate its commitment to promoting stability and development in Algeria.
The first meeting of the Bedoui government has set the tone for the new administration's priorities and policies.
