National Liberation Front Party Congress
The holding of the Extraordinary Congress of the National Liberation Front (FLN) from June 15 to 19, 1980 was decided during the 4th Congress of the FLN in January 1979. The economic and social resolution, adopted at the end of the work of this congress, “asks the Central Committee to examine the possibility of holding a congress”, and this, after “a broad debate on economic and social development, the evaluation of the results of the national plans and the orientations of the next plan”.
The congress will essentially have to debate the next five-year development plan (1980-1984) which will implement all material and human means to intensify production and satisfy the needs of citizens while guaranteeing the economic independence of our country. In this context, the draft plan developed by the Ministry of Planning and Regional Development was submitted to the party base for examination.
Thus, party activists and mass organizations are “invited to discuss, study and enrich this document in complete freedom and democracy while presenting the remarks they deem useful, so that the draft plan is the expression of the will and desire of the base”.
In this regard, the President of the Republic, secretary general of the party, insisted on “the need to see the report of each delegate reflect precisely and objectively the ideas which have achieved unanimous support from the base”.
He also specified that “no decision will be taken at the central level without prior knowledge of the opinion of the citizen”. Strengthening national planning is a major imperative of the five-year plan which will be adopted by the extraordinary congress.
The congress will also have to consider the question of reorganization and strengthening of the statutes of the National Liberation Front Party.
