SEEN EQUAL-E SEEN EQUALITY PPP society project – Pan-African Progressive Platform Senegal Section
Legislative 2024: Shift decisions towards pan-African social progress
See equal-e Seen equality and its pan-African progressive platform, remains faithful to its initial position during the presidential elections. We offered it to the parties, left-wing coalitions and to all progressive people of good will who could appropriate it or influence their programs or conception. Thus, 7 parties including 6 presidential candidates had endorsed its platform and committed to drawing inspiration from it for their program.
Seen Égal-e Seen Égalité will not present a list to the legislative elections but, concerned about the general interest and breaking with the neo-colonial era, recommends to all our compatriots to consult its social project and to demand these options to the 41 coalitions and the candidates for deputy. We urge the Senegalese to draw inspiration from it for the advent of a third republic and self-centered progressive pan-African, environmentalist and feminist development.
Seen Égal-e Seen Égalité expects the revival of revolutionary hope, still strong or diffuse in several sections of our population. This convergence also echoes the hopes of our disadvantaged masses, to see their essential and fundamental aspirations resolved and the advent of a harmonious and prosperous era.
The Seen Égal-e, Seen Égalité project, to break with neocolonial structures, advocates a constituent assembly for the advent of a third republic. This assembly is the most democratic means of transforming our society to face the challenges of the 21st century and overcome our institutional dysfunctions and imbalances. Seenegal-e endorses the institutional foundations of the National Conference of Senegal, and the Charter of Democratic Governance. However, a new constitution would improve that of 2001, and will be more in line with popular aspirations by integrating, among other things, the right to water, economic, social and cultural rights and traditional modes of regulation for living together and against despotism.
This constituent assembly will accelerate pan-African political unification, put an end to hyper-presidentialism and allow the advent of a resolutely African parliamentary democracy, with a clear separation of legislative, judicial and republican executive powers. Parliament must only be made up of deputies, without combining other functions. 10% of deputies can even come from a national draw. Anyone, upon reaching the age of majority, should be able to be a municipal councilor or deputy and learn the decorum of the Assembly. We could introduce deliberative and decision-making mechanisms and various legal categories from our traditions and customs, while safeguarding the secular character of the Republic. It would also be necessary to amend the organic law of 1992, which sets out the powers of the Constitutional Council, and to ensure that the independence of its members falls exclusively on prerogatives outside the executive which cannot in any way interfere in their appointment and their decisions.
This original governmentality must guarantee the separation of powers and the protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens. This mode of government serves national and popular development that breaks with the neo-colonial system. We will also have to break with the blind adoption of the principle of capitalist electoral competition which imposes a truncated consensus, excluding the imagination of another society, based on altruism, equality and solidarity.
Let us be conscious, lucid and responsible in the face of incantatory promises. Let us continue the disruptive transition, claiming the fundamental issues of equality contained in our option. They are prerequisites for any qualitative change in our sustainable development.
Our social project will reposition our country in a more sovereign Africa and will boldly contribute to its unity.
