Brotherhood trying to reproduce bloody years in Algeria
Algeria's Muslim Brotherhood staged on June 13 what amounted to a coup against the results of the legislative elections.
This
surprising tactic was carried out by the Peace Society Movement, the branch of
the international organization of the Muslim Brotherhood in Algeria.
The
movement claimed to have won the majority of seats in the Algerian parliament.
Muslim
Brotherhood leading figure, Abderrazak Makri, issued a statement, in which he
claimed that his movement had won the majority of seats in all Algerian states.
Nevertheless,
this political game does not seem to be foreign to the Brotherhood. The Islamist
movement plays the same game in almost all Arab states where it has branches.
Makri
called on Algerian President, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, to protect what he called
the "will of the people".
However,
Makri warned against what he described as "grave" consequences for
Algeria's political and electoral process, in case the results of the elections
were messed with.
However,
Algeria's election commission has divulged the Brotherhood's attempted coup
against the elections by accusing some of the nation's political parties of
making unfounded allegations.
The
commission did not mention the Muslim Brotherhood in its statement, but belied
the same remarks made by the Islamist movement.
The
Brotherhood was the only political movement in Algeria to have made these
remarks. This is why observers believe that the elections commission was
indirectly referring to the movement in its statement.
It
said these remarks impinge on the integrity of the elections commission.
The
commission also rejected veiled accusations to it that it is incapable of
safeguarding the vote and preventing vote rigging.
It
called on the president of the republic to shoulder his responsibility for
protecting the commission against threats made by some political movement.
