Algiers, Algeria | August 26th, 2024 — On August 25, 2024, Youcef Aouchiche, the Front of Socialist Forces (FFS) presidential candidate for the September 7 elections, presented his extensive electoral platform during a series of engagements in Djelfa and Ghardaïa. His campaign, marked by a strong grassroots focus, has particularly targeted localities, such as Tizi-Ouzou and Béjaïa.

Aouchiche’s platform centers on transformative economic and social reforms, with a keen emphasis on integrating the Algerian diaspora into national development efforts. Among his key proposals is the establishment of a new State Secretariat dedicated to the Algerian community abroad. This initiative aims to restore institutional trust and create a conducive environment for diaspora investment. Aouchiche also pledged to fully digitalize consular services, especially for the extensive Algerian community in France, where over 6 million Algerians reside.

In addition, Aouchiche plans to create a solidarity fund to support diaspora members affected by crises or natural disasters in their host countries. He also aims to expand cultural centers abroad to foster cultural exchange and strengthen ties with the diaspora. Urging the “silent majority” to actively participate in the electoral process, Aouchiche highlighted the importance of selecting a leader capable of guiding Algeria through its current challenges.

Aouchiche’s electoral program includes ambitious goals for economic performance, job creation, and salary increases. He emphasized the need for political and institutional reforms to establish efficient governance and restore hope among Algerians. His vision includes promoting a dynamic economy, encouraging investment, and supporting youth-led initiatives. Additionally, he proposed a review of sectoral budgets, with a focus on education, higher education, and healthcare, acknowledging their crucial role in achieving social justice and national development.

Furthermore, Aouchiche committed to maintaining the social character of the state by revising social transfer policies and rationalizing public expenditures.
