As a result, the regime is finding it increasingly difficult to claim, as it has for the last 15 years, that Bouteflika’s leadership represents civilian control over the military. So it has devised a new strategy, aimed at creating a sense of transition: the constitution will be revised to designate a vice president as the president’s legitimate successor.
结果，他的政权越来越难以如过去15年那样宣布波特弗利卡的领导是文治而不是武治。因此，政权采取了新战略，旨在营造转型的氛围：宪法将作出修订，增加一名副总统作为总统的合法继任者。当然，这一举措的真实目的是让军方团结在下一位顺从的“文官领导人”周围。
