Jean-Fran_ois Bastin, (alias Abdullah Abu Abdulaziz) the founder of the “Parti Citoyennet_ et Prosp_rit_” which received in the elections in May 2003 more than 8000 votes, resigned from its current position of the Party leader. The official reason of his resignation is ‘the doctrinal reorientation of the Party’. His name will not appear on the election lists in the coming regional elections in June. Sheikh Bastin claims that his departure from the Party has nothing to do with the accusation of his son Muhammed el Amin Bastin of involvement in the terrorist attacks in Turkey in November 2003. The new leader of the PCP becomes imam Bassam Ayachi, who is the administrator of the website assabyle.com.
