The opposition in Algeria have sharply criticized the Algerian prime minister's government for the government's repeated recourse to the judiciary to abort the workers’ protest movements who called for better social and professional conditions.
The administrative courts issued several judicial rulings about the unlawfulness of the protests in the health and education sectors, the latest of which was the strikes held by the aviation engineers at the Algerian Airlines company.
Several government sectors facing professional problems with workers, resorted to the judiciary to stop their protest movements by ruling that these strikes are illegal, in order to avoid direct confrontation with the strikers.
The oldest Algerian opposition party, the Front of Socialist Forces (FFS), considered the policy of resorting to justice to weaken the protest movements as a repressive way that stands for the authoritarian policy, expressing its rejection of all forms of violations of human and individual rights and collective freedoms in Algeria.
Several Algerian and human rights organizations also expressed their concern about the gradual regress of individual and collective rights and freedoms, and even the constitutionally enshrined right to strike. This concern is reinforced by the statements of the Algerian prime, “Minister Ahmed Ouyahia”, who accused the protesters of the southern cities of the slow pace of development and the spread of chaos.
“Ouyahia” 's statement left a wave of discontent in the social network sites. Activists denounced the prime minister’s talk about chaos, as the protesters marched peacefully just to express their social problems to the country's officials.
