Plénière sous haute tension : Abdou Mbow exige un référendum et qualifie la majorité de « fasciste
During Monday's plenary session dedicated to examining the draft constitutional revision, Abdou Mbow, a member of parliament from the Takku Wallu Sénégal parliamentary group, strongly challenged the procedure initiated to amend the fundamental law. In a motion of order, the parliamentarian argued that the National Assembly was facing "a moment of exceptional significance in the political and institutional history" of Senegal. According to him, the reform submitted to the members of parliament is likely to profoundly alter the balance of power within the institutions and transform the architecture of the Senegalese political system. "Beyond the technical discussions before us, it is the very architecture of our political system that is being debated," he declared before the assembly.
The MP for Takku Wallu Sénégal recalled that since the 1963 constitutional reform, approved by referendum, major changes to Senegalese institutions have always been based on the principle of popular consultation when the foundations of the institutional pact are at stake. He specifically mentioned the precedents of 2001 and 2016. According to Abdou Mbow, the proposed changes would shift the center of gravity of the institutions by transferring a significant portion of the political authority derived from the presidential election to a parliamentary majority. He considers this a sufficiently important development to warrant direct consultation with the Senegalese people. "A decision of such magnitude cannot be made without directly consulting the Senegalese people," he argued, thus advocating for the organization of a referendum.
The parliamentarian also called on his colleagues to demonstrate responsibility, a sense of duty to the state, clear-sightedness, and patriotism, believing that the decisions made during this session would have repercussions far beyond the current legislative term. The end of his speech was marked by rising tension. Demanding that "there be no need for further deliberation," Abdou Mbow sharply criticized the parliamentary majority, accusing it of failing to respect democratic principles and even going so far as to call it "fascist."
