Abdou Fall sonne l'alarme : « La classe politique est dépassée par les mutations du Sénégal »
Invited to the "Sunday Jury" (JDD) program on eRadio, former Minister of State Abdou Fall offered a frank assessment of the evolution of Senegalese political life. According to him, the rupture observed during the 2024 presidential election is largely explained by the political class's inability to understand the profound transformations within society.
According to him, political leaders of all persuasions have gradually lost touch with the realities of a rapidly changing Senegal. Population growth, the rise of a connected youth, the boom in social media, new citizen expectations... these are all changes that, in his view, have not been sufficiently integrated into party strategies.
“Societal changes have outpaced the political class,” summarizes Abdou Fall. According to the former minister, political parties continued to operate with methods, rhetoric, and references inherited from another era, while the country was changing rapidly.
He also regrets the disappearance of think tanks and training schools that once allowed parties to analyze social, economic and cultural developments in order to adapt their political projects.
For Abdou Fall, the 2024 victory should therefore not be interpreted as a simple rejection of the old leaders. Above all, it reflects a profound disconnect between a rapidly evolving society and a political class that failed to anticipate these changes.
Faced with this new situation, the former minister calls on political actors to engage in self-criticism, to return to strategic thinking and to build projects more in line with the aspirations of a predominantly young, demanding and forward-looking population.
