Algerian Hirak begins
Mass protests across Algeria began on 2019-02-22 against President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's bid for a fifth term despite his 2013 stroke. The "Hirak" forced his resignation on 2019-04-02 but was subsequently suppressed by the military-backed establishment that survived him.
Declared vs. behavioral
For the axes below, this party's declared position (what the party says in its platform / official rhetoric) diverges from its behavioral position (its record of votes, coalition choices, or public actions). The spread itself is the methodological point — capturing the gap that a single composite score collapses.
- Liberal democracy spread: 10.0D: +5.0 B: -5.0 C: -6.0
Lens spreads are currently hand-coded on a curated set of cases where the gap is well-documented. Document-grounded scoring against the party's own platform documents (declared) and its voting / coalition record (behavioral) will scale this across the dataset. See methodology for the full lens-system roadmap.
Source documents
Texts the scoring pipeline reads — manifestos, speeches, platforms. Each document's verbatim content backs the position score above; the model cites specific phrases from these texts when scoring. All documents →
