On this occasion, Benmebarek declared that he "Capitalizes on the initiative of President of the Republic Abdelmadjid Tebboune to establish a national debate and discussions on political and economic policy issues, hoping that the debate will be serene and constructive about the challenges linked to security and stability, as well as facing external coercion".

The FLN Secretary General added that "the improvements to the laws governing communes and wilayas reveal the importance the President of the Republic attaches to local authorities, based on the principle that the commune is the first base for local authorities and the decentralization system".

Also, "The commune is the point of contact between the citizen and the State. And we, in the Front de Libération Nationale, are making sure that the law governing communes and wilayas is thoroughly revised. This will involve extending the prerogatives of elected representatives, and making participatory democracy a reality by implementing the people's will at the local level".

As for the recent speech by President of the Republic Abdelmadjid Tebboune to the same two parliamentary chambers, Benmbarek says: "The speech by the President of the Republic set out the broad lines for giving Algeria its pivotal role in the region. The fact remains that only President Tebboune has the authority to launch a national debate, according to circumstances, and free from any pressure or coercion".
