The Rally for Culture and Democracy (
History and profile
The Rally for Culture and Democracy was founded by
On March 9, 2012, during an opening speech at the 4th RCD congress, Saïd Sadi announced that he would not seek a new term as president of the RCD. The doctor decided to withdraw from the presidency of his party to become a simple activist. "With a clear conscience and full confidence in the future, I announce my decision not to run for the post of president of the RCD," he told the delegates.
On March 10, 2012, Mohcine Belabbas, deputy of Algiers, was elected president of the RCD, following the party congress, held in Algiers.
The RCD announced on March 20, 2021, that it would boycott the 2021 Algerian legislative elections.[5]
In the repression against political activists that followed the Hirak, the Ministry of the Interior prohibited the RCD from using its premises to host "illegal" political or association meetings.[6] On January 10, 2022, the RCD announced that its president, Mohcine Belabbas, was placed under judicial supervision by the investigating judge.[7] In January 2022, the day after the Council of State froze the activities of the Socialist Workers' Party (PST), the RCD declared that this decision "is none other than a questioning of political pluralism and exercise, hard-won achievements" and denounces "the administrative and judicial relentlessness" which "targets" it as well as its president, Mohcine Belabbas, believing that this "signs an unspeakable and unacceptable authoritarian drift".
The party renews its leadership on June 3, 2022, with the election of Atmane Mazouz as party president.[8]
