Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has praised the country's judiciary for its efforts in protecting the national economy and combating corruption. During the opening of the 2026-2027 judicial year at the Supreme Court, Tebboune stated that he highly values the efforts made by the judiciary to safeguard the economy and protect the country from corruption. He also commended the judges and prosecutors for their work in enforcing the law.
Tebboune expressed satisfaction with the progress made in the justice sector in recent years, which has provided a favorable climate for the judiciary to perform its tasks. The reforms have enabled the judiciary to prevent and deter crime, combat corruption and protect national values and identity. The President also welcomed the digital transformation in the justice sector, which is in line with the changes taking place in society and the world.
The President emphasized that there is no room in Algeria for practices that prevailed during the "dark years", such as the abuse of power and fake influence. He considered the Algerian law to be a model for many countries. Tebboune stressed that Algeria is currently in a phase where the judiciary must adapt to the spread of greed and illicit enrichment, which threatens the social fabric due to unethical behavior.
Tebboune highlighted the importance of providing immunity and protection to judges through the basic law, as a commitment to his obligations. He also considered the newly established specialized commercial courts as a gain that will enhance the resolution of disputes within reasonable deadlines, which is a significant step in the national economy.
The President emphasized that the country's economy is heading towards absolute freedom, while taking into account the social character of the state. He stressed that protecting the vulnerable and middle class is a priority. Tebboune also noted that whenever the state tries to open up economically, gangs try to take advantage of these changes, and therefore, it is necessary to reach a stage that combines openness with strict economic control.
Tebboune called on the judiciary to play its primary role in stopping the dominance of corrupt individuals, who have become a minority. He stated that the majority of Algerians are suffering at the hands of this corrupt minority. The President also emphasized that political charlatanism has ended in Algeria, and that the country's real wealth lies not in its energy and mining resources, but in its educated and university-trained youth.
The President's speech was attended by high-ranking officials, government members and senior officials. The event marked the beginning of the new judicial year, which is expected to bring significant changes to the country's justice system.
