On the 12th day of the election campaign, the candidates for the 7 September presidential election and their representatives held Monday rallies in several provinces, proposing "realistic" solutions to their programs to address the concerns of various social categories.
Hosting a meeting in Sedrata Hall, Aouchiche affirmed that he would "set up a balanced economic system that enables national competences to invest."
"Algeria has the potential and competencies that allow it to reach the level of development sought by the Algerian people. The Hydrocarbons sector must back the country's economic development," he said.
On the social level, the FFS candidate vowed to "fight unemployment, particularly within youth," while considering "every region's specificity and potential."
He also promised to "review salaries" and "raise the benefits for vulnerable categories," proposing to "allot a part of the oil tax to finance a fund responsible for investment in major projects for job creation."
In Bou-Saada (M'sila), the Secretary-General of the National Democratic Rally (RDN), Mustapha Yahi assured that voting for independent candidate Abdelmadjid Tebboune would allow for "the pursuit of the social support policy for different social groups."
It will also allow for "the implementation of new housing programmes" and "the increase of allowances for housewives and people with special needs, retirement pensions and civil servants' salaries."
"Voting for Mr Abdelmadjid Tebboune in the presidential election of September 7 would enable him to continue the building of a strong economy and make more achievements at all levels."
Abdelkrim Benmbarek, Secretary General of the National Liberation Front (FLN) party, said that the election of Abdelmadjid Tebboune would enable the continuation of the reforms undertaken so far and build on the achievements made during his first term.
He affirmed Monday in Medea that the independent candidate for the September 7 Presidential election, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, intended to continue reforms to gradually shift from a hydrocarbon-based economy to a strong and competitive one.

In Jijel, where he hosted a popular meeting, the President of El-Bina party, Abdelkader Bengrina commended the independent candidate Abdelmadjid Tebboune's commitment to increasing unemployment and housewives' benefits and creating 450,000 jobs.
Candidate Abdelmadjid Tebboune's "prospective vision" will allow for a fair repartition of wealth and economic hubs countrywide, and thus "social and economic development."
