In his speech, the President of the Republic also referred to the municipal and state laws, which, in practice, represent the beginning of true democracy and the “completion of the construction of the state pyramid.”

On the other hand, the President of the Republic addressed the aspect related to dialogue, stressing that it "requires calm... without rioting and without compromise," adding: "There are those who demand change, while those who make this demand see themselves as not concerned with it."

On the economic side, the President of the Republic pointed out that "all economic and financial indicators of Algeria are in the green color with international recognition," adding in the same context: "All our economic indicators indicate that we are heading within months to be among the emerging countries," continuing by saying: "We have launched major projects and have entered for the first time since independence to exploit our wealth in the right way."

He also mentioned that there are mines being planned for exploitation that will be "generative of wealth and jobs", noting that "the railway that will reach Tamanrasset will help us exploit very important mining resources".

In a related context, he confirmed that the port of Oran "will receive the first shipments of Gara Djebilet iron in 2026."

In the energy file, the President of the Republic indicated that Algeria "has achieved self-sufficiency in electrical energy and has a surplus of 12,000 megawatts for export", recalling that Algeria "was importing gasoline until 2021, but today it produces it in all its types with Algerian hands".

Regarding agriculture, the President of the Republic stressed that “our agriculture has risen to a production equivalent to 37 billion dollars,” noting that “after durum wheat, our goal is to achieve self-sufficiency in soft wheat.”

Regarding the industrial aspect, the President of the Republic said: “Rest assured, we have put our finger on the wound in the industrial sector after industrial desertification reached 3% of the gross domestic product.”

By the way, the President of the Republic addressed members of the national community abroad, calling on them to "invest in their country so that they will never be referred to as foreigners."

He addressed them, saying: “Invest in your country and fight those who fight it, because the investment law will not change for 10 years.”

On the social side, the President of the Republic stopped at the issue of housing distribution, which he considered "the basis of the citizen's dignity and not a waste of money as the skeptics claim," stressing that "housing is no longer a burden on the state, because the projects are built with purely Algerian materials and we do not import them from abroad as in the past."

He added in this regard, saying: “They expected Algeria to explode due to our housing policy and then due to the decrease in the level of the dams, so Algeria responded by establishing a housing policy and giant projects for desalinating seawater.”
