The FFS group in the Tizi-Ouzou Assembly of People's Representatives (APW) has reacted strongly to a public statement by the RCD group, dismissing it as "false and insulting" towards the assembly and its president. The FFS group accused the RCD of attempting to block the APW's work, citing their opposition to development projects and voting against subsidies for associations, village committees, and communes.
According to the FFS group, the RCD has been trying to block the APW's functioning since its installation, opposing projects that would have a direct impact on the economic and social development of the wilaya. They cited several examples of programs and operations that the RCD had not voted for, including a 120 billion Algerian dinar project for the rehabilitation of communal roads and a 200 billion dinar project for the rehabilitation and extension of water supply networks.
The FFS group also mentioned that the RCD had not voted for several other important projects, including a 42 billion dinar project for the rehabilitation of 10 communal stadiums, an 89 billion dinar project for communes affected by floods, and a 94 billion dinar project for the construction of 49 synthetic grass playgrounds. They accused the RCD of serving their own interests and those of El Issaba, a group that has been accused of serving the former regime.
The FFS group further accused the RCD of trying to serve El Issaba, a group that has been accused of serving the former regime and participating in the government of former President Abdelaziz Bouteflika. They claimed that the RCD's actions were aimed at achieving a clan-based recomposition within the system.
The FFS group reiterated their commitment to working for the general interest of the wilaya and continuing their struggle alongside the Algerian people, who have been protesting since February 22 for their right to self-determination. They emphasized that the APW of Tizi-Ouzou is an assembly that serves the people and will remain so despite attempts by those excluded from the system to undermine its work.
The FFS group called for clarification on the RCD's motivations, stating that their actions have caused significant harm to the development of the wilaya. They emphasized that the people of Tizi-Ouzou deserve better and that the APW will continue to work towards their interests.
The conflict between the FFS and RCD groups in the Tizi-Ouzou APW reflects a deeper struggle for power and influence in Algeria's post-Bouteflika era. The situation remains tense, with both sides accusing each other of serving their own interests rather than those of the people.
