The decision of the authorities of the State of Algiers to close the highway east of the capital, “the road of the National Liberation Army”, from today Sunday and until the first Friday next November, has sparked widespread anger among residents of the Algerian capital.
The decision by the Algerian authorities comes due to the organization of a military parade on the occasion of the seventieth anniversary of the Liberation Revolution, on November 1.
This road faces heavy traffic jams on a daily basis and is the most important route into the capital from the east, sparking public anger and strong criticism on social media following the decision.
Many social media users have called for a vacation, as authorities have decided to close this important road for six days.
Many Algerians considered the decision to close the street to be a great exaggeration, regardless of the scale of the military parade that would be organized. This behavior confirms the failure to take into account the interests of citizens and the militarization of the State. an unreasonable degree.
