Hello and welcome to the Senego morning show on Wednesday April 24, 2024, where we address the most debated topics in Senegal this night. Let’s move on without further delay to the press review which promises to be enriching and varied.
President Diomaye Faye was in the spotlight yesterday during his meeting with Charles Michel, President of the European Council, promoting a new tax policy. The Senegalese president explained why it is vital that French companies operating in Senegal pay their taxes in the country, a measure which he said should repatriate hundreds of billions of CFA for the benefit of the national economy. This topic has generated widespread public support, as illustrated in Senego’s article at this link.
