Algeria’s election dilemma: true democracy or deception?

Can there be any hope for true democracy in Algeria, if no one trusts the vote?
Questioning the numbers behind his own re-election, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune criticized the count that gave him almost 95% of the ballots. Now sworn in for a second term, he's promising a national dialogue on democracy. But do Algerians believe him?

We are with the president. We don’t need more drama talk for something else we are all Algeria 🇩🇿 is with a president.

And you think you're protecting our country by telling people not to comment on it? the only thing you're protecting is our lovely military regime from criticism. Without democracy our country will never stand on it's feet.

Everyone likes Mr Tebboune in Algeria. Just accept facts There is no need to ape France's disappointment and cries on "democracy" as France or Turkey are true democracies...

Yes I believe him so far he healed his promises

"Yes I believe him", true, but you also hardly represent the majority's opinion. The hilarious 95% win rate is beyond stalin level dictatorship to the point where HE THE WINNER SAID THAT IT'S FAKE. Not to mention that just 2 days ago he fired the head of foreign inteligence rumored to have took part in the rigging of the election.
