Assemblée : Guy Marius Sagna secoue l'hémicycle et interpelle Diomaye sur la diplomatie, la CEDEAO et le social
Guy Marius Sagna's intervention did not go unnoticed in the National Assembly. During the plenary session devoted to questions addressed to the government, the deputy delivered an assertive speech in which he addressed several sensitive subjects, ranging from Senegalese diplomacy to regional governance, including the social difficulties faced by some workers and members of the diaspora.
At the heart of his remarks was President Bassirou Diomaye Faye's participation in the Africa Forward summit recently held in Nairobi. For Guy Marius Sagna, this meeting appears to be yet another attempt by France to reposition itself on the African continent. The parliamentarian believes that African leaders must remain vigilant against initiatives that, in his view, seek to improve the image of the former colonial power without addressing the imbalances inherited from the past.
The MP focused particularly on the images showing Bassirou Diomaye Faye sharing a relaxing moment around a ball with French President Emmanuel Macron. While some see this as a mere protocol exercise, Guy Marius Sagna believes, on the contrary, that symbols have strong political significance, especially when they concern relations between Africa and its former colonial powers.
In the same vein, the elected official criticized the head of state for not reacting more firmly to certain statements made by Emmanuel Macron regarding the countries of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), particularly Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. According to him, Senegal should have shown greater solidarity with these neighboring countries, despite any political or diplomatic differences that may exist. But the MP's remarks were not limited to international issues. Guy Marius Sagna also denounced what he considers a lack of transparency within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). He specifically called for greater transparency regarding the financial audits and resource management of the sub-regional organization, arguing that West African citizens have the right to know how the funds mobilized in their name are being used.
On the social front, the parliamentarian drew the government's attention to the situation of the National Mine Action Center's agents in Casamance. He expressed concern about the salary delays affecting these workers involved in demining operations, a mission deemed essential for the safety of the population and the revitalization of economic activity in the conflict-affected areas. The elected official also relayed the concerns of many Senegalese living abroad who are facing difficulties obtaining or renewing their passports at certain diplomatic missions.
According to him, these administrative delays continue to complicate the daily lives of many compatriots living abroad. Guy Marius Sagna reaffirmed his political stance based on sovereignty, transparency, and the defense of the people's interests. This statement also reflects the high expectations of a segment of the public regarding the new authorities, particularly on issues of diplomacy, governance, and social justice.
