Aminata Touré : « Le président est aujourd'hui attaqué par ceux-là mêmes qui l'ont porté au pouvoir »
Continuing her indictment against the promoters of the constitutional revision in front of the press this Sunday, Aminata Touré denounced what she considers to be a permanent campaign of denigration targeting the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye.
According to the former Prime Minister, the situation is all the more worrying as the most virulent criticisms come from officials and activists from the political camp that supported the accession of the Head of State to power.
"What is paradoxical today is that the President of the Republic is attacked, criticized and sometimes even insulted all day long by people belonging to his original party or his political environment," she stated.
For Aminata Touré, this attitude reflects a profound break with the spirit that prevailed during the conquest of power in 2024. "The Senegalese voted for a collective project led by a team. They did not choose divisions, internal quarrels or permanent settling of scores," she argued.
The former head of government believes that the political debate should focus more on the concerns of the people than on rivalries between political leaders.
"While citizens are worried about the cost of living, youth employment, agriculture or even floods, some prefer to devote their energy to political battles that do not serve the general interest," she lamented.
According to her, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye remains the custodian of popular legitimacy stemming from the presidential election and, as such, deserves the respect due to the institutions of the Republic. "One can disagree with the President of the Republic. That's the very nature of democracy. But there's a difference between political criticism and systematic attacks against the presidential institution," she stated.
Aminata Touré called on the various political actors to prioritize dialogue, responsibility, and the preservation of the country's institutional stability. "Senegal has always been able to maintain its democratic balance thanks to the sense of responsibility of its leaders. We must remain faithful to this republican tradition," she concluded.
