On Thursday, Dr. Fatih Boutabik, leader of the Future Front party, attended a public gathering at the "Qadhi Muhammad" cultural center in Bechar, marking the beginning of the party's electoral campaign for the 2026 local elections. The event was attended by party cadres, activists, candidates, and numerous citizens. In his speech, Boutabik emphasized that the choice of Bechar as the starting point for the campaign reflects the party's recognition of the region's strategic importance.

Boutabik highlighted that the future of Algeria begins in every municipality and province, and that citizen participation in local decision-making is crucial. He stressed that the local elections represent a pivotal moment, directly impacting citizens' daily lives. The party's vision for the elections is centered around three main axes: a strong municipality, a productive province, and an engaged citizen.

The Future Front's vision focuses on modernizing local administration, promoting digitization, combating bureaucracy, and enhancing transparency and public services. The party aims to support small and emerging businesses, develop agricultural, industrial, tourism, and handicraft sectors, and create jobs and wealth. Boutabik also emphasized the importance of citizen engagement and participation in determining priorities and monitoring projects.

Boutabik highlighted Bechar's potential, including its human and natural resources, and strategic location. He urged the need to transition from relying on development to actively contributing to wealth creation by harnessing the region's agricultural capabilities, developing industrial and transformative activities, and promoting investment, trade, and tourism.

The leader of the Future Front emphasized the need to provide conditions for the youth of Bechar to build their future in their region, develop infrastructure and public facilities, and achieve balanced development that includes all municipalities, villages, and areas. He also stressed the importance of social solidarity and support for vulnerable groups.

On the political level, Boutabik reaffirmed the Future Front's support for the republic's institutions and the reforms led by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. He called for a democratic campaign based on programs, competencies, and ideas, rather than hate speech, exclusion, or accusations. Boutabik urged party candidates to adhere to political ethics, discipline, and commitment.

In conclusion, Boutabik called on citizens to participate widely in the 2026 local elections, choosing programs and competencies capable of assuming responsibility and serving the citizen. He emphasized that popular trust is not an end in itself but a responsibility that translates into action and achievement. The Future Front is committed to conducting the elections under the slogan: "From here begins the future… a strong municipality, a productive province, a partner citizen."
