Habib SY : «Des convergences entre le pouvoir actuel et le Pds sont toujours possibles»
In an interview with L'Observateur, Habib Sy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Senelec, stirred up a political debate by stating that "convergence between the current government and the PDS is still possible." According to this former associate of Abdoulaye Wade, the distance between the heirs of the "Pope of Sopi" and the Diomaye-Sonko duo is much smaller than it appears.
A common ideological foundation
This outstretched hand is based on a refined doctrinal analysis. Habib Sy defines the current government's guiding principle as "liberal sovereignty," an orientation that echoes the "social liberalism" advocated by Me Wade during his twelve years in power, from 2000 to 2012. According to him, the values of freedom, solidarity, and equal opportunity constitute a natural bridge between the two sides.
"I chose to support Ousmane Sonko because I perceive in him a part of Wadism," confided the interlocutor to the daily newspaper of the Future Media Group, emphasizing that this political proximity makes any future collaboration not only credible, but also coherent.
The precedent of 2024
The former mayor of Linguère points out that this rapprochement is not merely hypothetical, as it already materialized during the last presidential election: the PDS supported the candidate of the "Diomaye President" Coalition. In this context, the commemoration of Me Wade's centenary, initiated by the new regime, goes beyond simple homage and resembles the recognition of a political and intellectual lineage.
