Abstract
En este artículo se analiza la singularidad del movimiento popular conocido como Hirak argelino, en el que se explican sus diferencias con las primaveras árabes y también con episodios previos de cambio político vividos en Argelia (1988-1992), ya que este movimiento extrae sus raíces de la guerra de independencia y es fundamentalmente pacífico. Igualmente se discute el impasse actual tras haberse agotado el cauce constitucional y las posibles vías hacia una transición que se están discutiendo, así como algunas de las reacciones internacionales que hasta ahora se han producido.
This article argues that the Algerian Hirak protest movement is a singular and exceptional case, which differs from both the “Arab Spring” and the “Algerian Spring” (1988-1992). It draws its special characteristics and strength from the Independence War (1954-1962) while it is mainly being conducted through peaceful means. We also examine the current situation of political impasse once the Constitutional procedure has been exhausted and the possible paths to democratic transition that are now being discussed, taking a look at how the most notorious international actors have so far reacted to the Algerian Hirak.
