For the second consecutive year, the State is anticipating the supply of the national market ahead of Eid al-Adha by importing one million sheep to stabilize prices and secure supply. This initiative, decided by President of the Republic Abdelmadjid Tebboune during the last government meeting, has been welcomed by several political parties, including the FLN, the El-Bina Movement, and the El Moustakbal Front. It illustrates the State’s determination to protect citizens’ purchasing power and strengthen social justice.
The National Liberation Front (FLN) described the decision as a “sovereign and courageous gesture,” emphasizing that the Algerian State places the citizen’s interest and the improvement of their standard of living at the center of its priorities. According to the party, this measure fits into a series of decisions aimed at supporting purchasing power and preserving citizens’ dignity. On this occasion, the FLN reiterated its “total political commitment to the process of reform and building a strong, developed, and just Algeria,” according to the party’s own words.
For its part, the El-Bina Movement declared, via a press release, that it “welcomed with satisfaction this anticipatory decision,” considering that it reflects “the President’s wisdom in planning a major operation falling under the State’s responsibility to protect social balances.” Moreover, the movement believes this measure constitutes “a concrete approach to correct market imbalances and limit unjustified price increases, in order to protect the purchasing power of Algerian families,” by enabling them to acquire Eid sheep “under equitable social conditions,” according to the press release.
According to the same source, the party also stressed the need for good coordination between the various sectors concerned, in addition to adopting effective distribution and control mechanisms to ensure the success of the initiative. The El-Bina Movement finally reaffirmed its commitment to supporting all public policies in favor of the citizen, calling to “make these measures the starting point for deeper reforms strengthening social justice,” as stated in the party’s press release.
For its part, the El Moustakbal Front declared that this decision illustrates “the State’s shift from a logic of ad hoc treatment to organized economic intervention to protect purchasing power and limit speculation.” It also praised the measures achieved under President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s leadership in the economic and social fields, highlighting, according to the party’s press release itself, the State’s will to “promote social justice and improve the business climate.”
