Algiers, Algeria | July 23rd, 2024 — In a recent statement, the National Union of Journalists and Media Professionals of Algeria, led by President Mosbah Guediri, has officially endorsed Abdelmadjid Tebboune, the independent candidate, for the upcoming presidential elections. This endorsement follows thorough consultations with provincial office heads and grassroots activists within the union, all of whom unanimously agreed that Tebboune embodies the principles, values, and aspirations of the organization.

Guediri’s communiqué emphasizes President Tebboune’s dedication to national principles, showcasing how his leadership aligns with the union’s values across political, diplomatic, economic, and social domains. Under Tebboune’s stewardship, Algeria has emerged as a beacon of success and excellence in various sectors, a fact that Guediri argues is unequivocally evident.

The statement lauds Tebboune for his accomplishments in establishing constitutional institutions, fortifying the rule of law, and enhancing democratic practices. It highlights his commitment to a culture of dialogue and his assurance of the independence of political and economic decisions, thereby safeguarding national sovereignty. Tebboune’s adept diplomacy is credited with restoring Algeria’s prominence on the global stage, particularly in its unwavering support for just causes such as the Palestinian and Sahrawi issues.

Additionally, the communiqué commends Tebboune’s significant reforms in the media sector during his initial term. His administration has enacted new laws and regulations, including the organic law on media and frameworks governing print, electronic journalism, and audiovisual activities. These reforms are praised for advancing journalistic integrity, eradicating corruption, and improving professional and social benefits for media practitioners. Tebboune’s commitment to open dialogue with media outlets and his efforts to foster a transparent and interactive communication approach are highlighted as notable achievements.

Guediri also acknowledges Tebboune’s dedication to social issues, emphasizing his consistent defense of vulnerable populations, his efforts to preserve the purchasing power of Algerians, and his focus on integrating youth into developmental programs. Tebboune’s engagement with the youth is described as exemplary, transcending traditional governance to embody genuine and supportive leadership.

Despite the economic challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Tebboune is recognized for laying the foundation for a resilient and diversified economy. His administration has effectively utilized human, natural, and financial resources to reduce dependence on hydrocarbons, revitalize stalled projects, and implement significant economic reforms. The positive trends in investment and job creation are presented as evidence of successful economic management.

The communiqué concludes by urging Algerians to actively participate in the forthcoming presidential elections to counteract national adversaries and bolster the state’s capacity to address external threats and critical challenges. Guediri calls on activists and the broader society to place their trust in Tebboune, whom he considers the most suitable leader to steer Algeria towards safety, progress, and prosperity.

In closing, Guediri reaffirms the union’s support for President Tebboune’s re-election and honors the enduring legacy of Algeria’s independence and the sacrifices of its martyrs.
