The diet fires with all woods. It is the time of radicalization for the power in place. PM Ousmane Sonko has declared “zero tolerance” against journalists and columnists who will broadcast false news to, he says, “dirty the honor” of the members of power. While deputy Guy Marius filed an initiative on the table of the National Assembly consisting in accusing the former president of Senegal, Macky Sall, for high betrayal. By Amadou Mbodji –
The power in place opts for radicalization. This is evidenced by the exit of the PM in the assembly to answer questions from deputies. The head of government had declared “zero tolerance” there with regard to columnists and journalists who will be illustrated through the dissemination of “false news” against the current regime. Critics of journalists and columnists on power management are assimilated by the regime to “attacks” against him. “Allergic” to criticism, the supporters of power are accused of seeking to “restrict” democratic freedoms, with the arrest of columnists and journalists like Pierre Simon Faye de D-Média, placed under judicial supervision.
After the controversial adoption of the interpretative law of the amnesty law, the current regime is once again signaled by the introduction, on the table of the President of the National Assembly, of a resolution for an indictment of former President Macky Sall. An initiative carried by the deputy Guy Marius Sagna, who needs the vote of 99 deputies to be adopted. This cannot be long since the majority have 130 deputies. Once this initiative has been passed, will the regime in place manage to court the ex-president of Senegal that the proponents of power and their supporters have always accused of poor management of public funds? The future will build us. In addition, the power in place multiplies outings saying that it is up to the people to put pressure on justice. After President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, the first to echo it during his face-to-face with the Senegalese press in the aftermath of his speech to the nation, it was his PM’s turn to follow suit. During his last visit to the hemicycle, Ousmane Sonko had said that justice should not be that of the magistrates, but the justice of the people, because judicial decisions are rendered in the name of the people.
“Why can we put pressure on the President of the Republic, on the Prime Minister, and the people, in the name of which justice is done, has no right to say that there are problems in the functioning of justice?”, Said the head of government.
Furthermore, after having undergone several prohibitions to leave the territory, former Minister Mansour Faye was noted this prohibition by the authorities.
And one wonders if we are not going to convocation to the High Court of Justice, from the Ministers of the Republic under the Old Regime soon. While waiting to see more clearly, it should be noted that the division of criminal investigations (DIC) has fuel, in recent days, at more than 100 km/h, with the arrest of senior officials. And it is to unmask people supposed to have diverted the money from the Riposte fund against the COVVI-19.
