Algeria's Sporting Missteps and Political Apathy
In the aftermath of the 2026 World Cup, the Algerian regime has managed to transform its former national coach into a multimillionaire with minimal effort. Prior to the commencement of the tournament, President Tebboune and his associates deemed it prudent to extend the coach's contract until 2028, at a staggering salary of €160,000 per month. This decision has resulted in a forced departure that now compels the federation to pay at least €7 million in severance. Such a scenario serves as a glaring example of the regime's lack of foresight and accountability.
Meanwhile, there exists another issue that arguably deserves more scrutiny: the participation rate in the recent legislative elections, which is officially estimated to be a mere 20%. However, many observers suggest that this figure might be inflated, with some advocating for a more realistic assessment that divides the number by four. Yet, within the alternate reality of Algerian power, neither this democratic debacle nor the costly sporting disaster seems to provoke any introspection or reassessment. This is the status quo in Algeria.
