ALGIERS, Algeria — The disclosure of Algeria’s draft constitution and its content in early January was a way to improve the political and economic situation of the country.
“I don’t believe these constitutional changes will affect the citizens’ daily life. They are above all concerned that hard-won social gains are not jeopardized,” Hocine Bellaloufi, a political analyst, told Al-Monitor. They are also concerned about “the increase in prices that is beginning to be felt in early 2016,” Bellaloufi added.
