"I am not opposed to learning French; my objection lies with the ideological attachment to the language."

"The abundance of political parties has not been matched by quality. Rather than having budget-draining political parties, I would prefer a more engaged and active civil society."

"If it is not "purged of opportunists," it will no longer be worthy of the historic acronym that all Algerians hold in high regard."

"The time for forgiveness has over now, the focus must be on the essential task of recovering the archives."

"I regret that what is commonly called the Arab Spring did not transition into an autumn. While the conditions for revolt were present in the affected countries, the events that unfolded in the region seem to have followed very particular agendas."

"Due to the situation in parts of the Near and Middle East, some states "will not be present," while others will participate through delegations. However, several non-Arab countries, including Spain, Portugal, India, China, and France, have expressed a strong desire to be represented."

"There have been no major delays in completing the infrastructure for this event, "except for the Great Library," where work has slowed due to the discovery of historical artifacts on-site that are currently being identified."

"Starting from Constantine, a tour will travel through various cities across the country, organizing meetings between different wilayas to promote twinning and foster relationships across diverse sectors."

"Married women can work without receiving any kind of compensation. It's essentially being a volunteer for the state."

"Does a minister that's supposed to look after women's affairs have nothing else to suggest? It's both shocking and worrying, because it show that no one's thinking seriously about how to solve the financial crisis."

"In my view, citizens must understand that this poses a threat to everyone. It sets a dangerous precedent, implying that anyone who refuses to conform risks arrest. But what exactly did Louisa Hanoune do? She simply fulfilled her responsibilities as an activist and political party leader to the fullest. Her arrest was solely for exercising her political rights and performing her duties."

"This concept reflects a troubling shift towards totalitarianism, posing a serious threat to the entire nation. Those responsible for incarcerating Louisa Hanoune must reconsider their actions, as her arrest is not only harmful to the country but also damages the reputation of the ANP."

"The arrest of Louisa Hanoune does not tarnish her reputation—not in the slightest. Instead, it discredits those who imprisoned her and, by extension, the military institution, for which I hold the utmost respect. Her arrest occurred at the level of the military tribunal, yet I am confident the ANP as an institution is not responsible for this serious misstep, which involves detaining a political leader for fulfilling her duties. Do the individuals behind this unfortunate decision realize they are implicating the entire military institution? This is deeply unjust—not only to Louisa but also to the ANP and the nation as a whole. To correct this triple injustice, Louisa Hanoune must be released immediately."

"I know Louisa very well. In 1983, when she was arrested by the State Security Court for her political beliefs, I was with her, as we were part of the same association. This is not the first time she has been detained for exercising her political rights. Louisa is a remarkable woman and a towering political figure. No prison, whether military or civilian, can confine the greatness of Louisa Hanoune. The real shame is not that Louisa Hanoune is in prison as a politician—the shame is that, in 2019, there are still people in Algeria making such decisions. It is not too late to correct this grave mistake."

"A memorandum of understanding was signed between Algeria and Spain in the field of tourism training."

"The issues of interest to both countries in the tourism field with the aim of developing the sector in Algeria by introducing information and communication technologies."

"The decision to incarcerate a female politician, the leader of a legitimate political party, is utterly inexplicable—except for the possibility that those responsible hold an authoritarian view of political life and action. This cannot be a decision made by the entire military institution; that is simply impossible. To me, this choice is completely baffling. More importantly, it is unacceptable, scandalous, and intolerable."

"When negotiations between the Provisional Government of the Algerian Republic and the French government began, I was imprisoned in Pau, in the southern region of France. I had been there for almost six years, cut off from the events of the war. During this time in prison, we remained committed to demanding our rights, including the right to be informed. As prisoners, we fought for access to newspapers, staging several hunger strikes, some lasting quite long. By late 1961, we had finally won the right to receive newspapers—though they were, of course, French publications. This meant that when the negotiations started, we were kept informed through the French press."

"It is essential that the Palestinians avoid internal struggles for power after the end of the war. They must put aside personal ambitions and form a coalition without ulterior political motives. They must build a Palestine where women and men live together with the aim of sustaining a prosperous country that unites all of its children—no matter their political beliefs."

"Women are complete citizens, with the same duties and rights as men, including the same obligation to contribute to our development."

"In the past, rebellions had been regionally circumscribed. Across the country’ was massive, It helped convince the Algerian people that at long last their moment had arrived, and the struggle for independence was engaged."

"I don't believe there's any secrecy involved. The president's office clearly stated that he was in Paris for medical treatment and that his condition is not serious. His personal doctor has also provided detailed information about his illness, which is quite different from the situation in 2005 when the president was ill and sent to Val de Grace Hospital in Paris without much disclosure. This transparency is important to dispel any rumors."

"We have decided to change the social nature of this movement to be political, and we call for the regime to step down."

"Anyone who knows politics knows that all countries which suffered from foreign debt and were put under structural reform programs were forced to appoint ministers accepted by the international bodies."

"The overlapping authorities and the parliament’s inability to fight corruption were all reasons that contributed to the spread of the phenomenon."

"We take stances on principle, and fight for everyone’s right to stand [for election], because that is the way to guarantee the people’s sovereignty in electing whomever they want."
