Politique : Le FDR boycotte la rencontre du 30 avril convoquée par le ministre de l’Intérieur
The Front for the Defense of Democracy and the Republic (FDR) announced, in a statement, its decision not to take part in the meeting scheduled for April 30, 2026 with political parties, at the initiative of the Minister of the Interior.
This decision comes after the publication, by the services of the Presidency of the Republic, of the draft bills resulting from the committee reviewing the conclusions of the National Dialogue of May 2025.
In its statement, the FDR denounces a process it considers exclusionary and tainted by irregularities. It recalls that the opposition parties that participated in the National Dialogue had already contested their exclusion from the review committee, refusing to endorse its conclusions. As for the parties that did not participate in the Dialogue, they rejected its results from the outset.
The FDR also asserts that the committee worked under the direct authority of the Prime Minister, who is also the president of the PASTEF party, with the participation of officials from that political party, and without any representation from the opposition. The organization describes this situation as a "serious breach" that calls into question the legitimacy of the proposed texts.
The statement also points to the procedure initiated by the PASTEF parliamentary group for the revision of certain provisions of the Electoral Code, in particular articles L29 and L30, which the FDR considers "tailor-made" for the party leader, Ousmane Sonko.
In this context, the FDR considers that the meeting of April 30 "is of no interest", describing it as an initiative aimed at "playing to the gallery".
Consequently, the Front: reaffirms its rejection of what it describes as "authoritarian and unilateral" practices; rejects in advance any decision from the parliamentary majority during the plenary session of April 28; announces its boycott of the meeting of April 30; demands the opening of inclusive discussions around the proposed texts; calls on the opposition parties to an emergency meeting in order to organize a democratic response.
This stance taken by the FDR comes in a political climate marked by strong tensions around electoral reforms and the national consultation process.
