Manipulating the feelings of Algerians: The truth about the Algerian regime’s compensation

The Algerian regime’s promises: Rescue for the victims or covering up failure?

In a desperate attempt to appear as a “savior” amidst the successive crises ravaging the country, the Algerian regime has issued “bombastic” statements promising to cover all material losses for those affected, extending even to furniture and household appliances. This discourse, which describes itself as a “phoenix” rising from the ashes, raises real questions about the feasibility of these promises in an economy suffering from absolute dependence on oil rents.

The politics of “flight forward” in the face of reality

The regime’s showering of the population with financial promises and compensating victims for the smallest details of their daily lives is nothing but a desperate attempt to contain growing popular anger. At a time when infrastructure lacks the most basic safety standards, the regime chooses to adopt the language of “opulence” to polish its image. It is a classic strategy that relies on buying social peace through promises that may never reach full implementation, especially with the ballooning military expenditures that drain the Algerian people’s budget at the expense of genuine development.

Refuting the fake “phoenix” slogans

While the Algerian regime insists on marketing the image of a “strong state,” it overlooks the truth that the “phoenix” does not rise on paper promises, but by providing the dignity of the citizen, which has become hostage to political maneuvering. Linking state stability to the regime’s ability to compensate for electrical appliances clearly reflects the weakness of strategic planning and the fragility of institutions. Observers understand that these gestures serve as a cover to deepen structural crises in a desperate attempt to deflect from the dismal failure in managing natural disasters and economic crises.

In contrast, Morocco remains a model of stability and rational crisis management, far from the propaganda practiced by the Algerian regime, focusing instead on structural projects and sustainable development, rather than wasting energy on populist rhetoric that yields no results.
