On November 17, 2024, you expressed your deep feelings about the state of our democracy and our Republic: the high abstention rate is a signal of your growing disinterest in politics. Nevertheless, the voters who expressed themselves did so in complete freedom and their votes reflect a clear choice, without the slightest ambiguity. Ousmane Sonko and his political party Le Pastef were acclaimed. The sovereign people decided and remained faithful to their vote of March 2024, during the election of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye.
This is the place to thank everyone who listened attentively to my speech and believed in my sincerity.
We remain worthy. But for all that, it should be noted that by voting for a list which has no proposal for the future to present, the majority of voters have certainly expressed an ardent desire to break with the way the latter do things. decades. She will have to take responsibility for it. A friend wanted to send me a message, after the announcement of the first strong voting trends, in which I read a word from the Russian writer Anton Chekhov according to which: “In failing societies, the majority is always ignorant and the reasonable man is always defeated. I refuse to take things that way. I want to believe that in a democracy, people are not mistaken.
Moreover, it is up to the political class to redeem itself in order to restore this major art to its letters of nobility.
When I decided to get involved in the Jamm ak Njëriñ list, my priority was to bring back to the political scene the concern for virtuous behavior, the discourse of truth, the general interest by defending the humanist values of a republican democracy.
This is the whole meaning of my commitment. I will return to feel the pulse of our country and listen to the breathing of our Nation, its legitimate aspirations.
I will return more determined to put our country back in the direction of democracy, the rule of law, progress and prosperity.
Dear compatriots, dear compatriots, let us restart the date.
