Alžirija ima v četrtek parlamentarne volitve, ki so pomemben trenutek v političnem prizorišču države. Sedem let po protestih Hirak, ki so leta 2019 privedli do padca dolgoletnega predsednika Abdelaziza Bouteflike, bo država izbrala novo nacionalno skupščino.
Volitve potekajo v ozadju spreminjajočih se prednostnih nalog med Alžirci, ki so trenutno bolj osredotočeni na uspešnost nacionalne nogometne ekipe na svetovnem prvenstvu leta 2026.
Približno 24,7 milijona Alžircev ima pravico glasovati za 407 članov spodnjega doma, ki bodo služili petletni mandat. Politični znanstvenik Rachid Ouaissa iz Univerze Philipps v Marburgu je poudaril pomen teh volitev in opozoril, da za razliko od parlamentarnih volitev leta 2021, ki jih je zaznamovala nizka udeležba in dolgotrajni učinki protestov Hirak, letos kaže na znake povečane politične vključenosti.
Frisch je ponovil to stališče in poudaril, da vzpon neodvisnih kandidatov odraža razočaranje v tradicionalne politične stranke in nastajajočo politično mobilizacijo.
Kljub tem dogodkom še vedno obstajajo pomisleki glede splošne demokratične kakovosti alžirskega političnega sistema. Organizacije, kot je Freedom House, razvrstijo državo kot "ne svobodno", pri čemer navajajo nadaljnjo koncentracijo moči v rokah predsedstva, vojske in varnostnega aparata.
Vrnitev več opozicijskih strank po njihovem bojkotu volitev leta 2021 je sprožila mešane interpretacije. Medtem ko Frisch to vidi kot pozitiven razvoj, drugi, kot je Bližnjevzhodni forum s sedežem v Filadelfiji, trdijo, da je to bolj posledica institucionalnih pritiskov kot resnične politične odprtosti.
Kritiki so tudi dvomi o nedavnih volilnih reformah, zlasti razširjenih pooblastilih, podeljenih volilnemu organu ANIE. Te spremembe so privedle skepticizem, saj bi lahko vplivale na preglednost in pravičnost volilnega procesa.
Medtem ko Alžirija nadaljuje s parlamentarnimi volitvami, bo ključnega pomena opazovanje medsebojnega delovanja med političnimi prizadevanji in praktičnimi omejitvami.

Deutsche Welle (Deutsch)Državni / javniSredinaDejstva 85Objektivnost 80pred 5 dneviSeven years after the Hirak protests that ousted long-time President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in 2019, Algeria is holding parliamentary elections on Thursday. President Abdelmadjid Tebboune presents the vote as another step toward renewing political institutions, but many observers do not expect a power shift or significant political opening. Voter turnout remains a critical issue, having reached a historic low of 23% in the 2021 election. Meanwhile, football has captured public attention, with Algeria qualifying for the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup. Analysts note that while the election is politically important, large-scale mobilization has been limited. Political scientist Rachid Ouaissa highlights the increased number of independent candidates as a sign that parts of society view parliament more as a political stage again. However, concerns remain about the democratic quality of Algeria’s system.

However, analysts suggest the outcome may not bring significant change, as the election faces competition from the national soccer team's qualification for the 2026 World Cup and the start of summer vacations. Political scientist Rachid Ouaissa notes the rise of independent candidates as a potential sign of renewed political engagement, while voter turnout remains a concern, having dropped to 23% in the 2021 election. Despite existing democratic structures like elections and political parties, institutions such as the presidency, military, and security forces retain substantial control. Organizations like Freedom House classify Algeria as 'not free,' highlighting the persistence of authoritarian elements despite formal democratic processes.
