Pastef-Kiiraay : le risque d’un retour de bâton dans les urnes
The power struggle between Pastef and Kiiraay, exacerbated by the deadlock over budget legislation, may not benefit either side, according to experts interviewed by Walfadjri. Malao Kanté, a lecturer and researcher in political philosophy at UCAD, warns that "neither side will truly profit from what is happening." According to him, this situation is wasting time for the presidential camp, while the government must honor its commitments to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and carry out its economic and social projects.
On the Pastef side, the teacher-researcher believes that blocking budget projects could also have a political cost.
Even if the parliamentary majority believes the legislation is not in the people's interest, "blocking this project will likely be very difficult to justify." He warns that "this position will initially be misunderstood by the public" and could even "have even more damaging consequences."
Beyond the budgetary and political issues, the source interviewed by the Front de Terre press group's daily newspaper expressed concern about the institutional and diplomatic repercussions of this confrontation. He lamented that "for partisan and purely political reasons, we are witnessing a clash between the two major institutions, the Executive and the Legislative branches." This situation, he argued, "risks exposing the country and causing it serious harm."
For his part, political analyst Alioune Badara Kandji draws attention to another risk: "the silent majority and protest votes." He highlights the possibility that citizens' discontent with political disputes could translate into votes against those they hold responsible for the crisis in the upcoming elections.

Comment peut-on croire à un politicien au Sénégal
Ils sont mieux dans l'opposition, pas dans l'exercice du pouvoir
