Référendum constitutionnel : le PDS appelle à voter « Non » et accuse Ousmane Sonko de vouloir provoquer une crise institutionnelle
The Senegalese Democratic Party (PDS) welcomes President Bassirou Diomaye Faye's decision to submit the proposed constitutional reforms to a referendum. In a statement, the party calls on Senegalese citizens to reject these reforms at the ballot box, while accusing Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko of pursuing personal interests and undermining republican institutions.
The Senegalese Democratic Party (PDS) expressed its satisfaction following the decision of the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, to submit to a popular referendum, after a broad national debate, the proposals for amendment of the Constitution put forward by Pastef.
"The PDS calls on all its activists, sympathizers and support movements, as well as the entire Senegalese people, to mobilize to block these reforms and to vote massively "NO" on election day. These repeated attempts to revise our fundamental law are dictated only by the personal interests of Ousmane Sonko. They betray his thirst for power and his hatred of republican institutions, which nevertheless constitute the foundation of our democracy and our freedoms," a PDS statement indicates.
The PDS also accuses the former head of government of having provoked an economic and financial crisis which aggravated precariousness and unemployment, before seeking, according to them, to open an institutional crisis.
"After having, as Prime Minister, provoked an unprecedented economic and financial crisis and plunged millions of Senegalese into precariousness and unemployment, Ousmane Sonko is now seeking to create a major institutional crisis. He is now instrumentalizing the presidency of the National Assembly, which he occupies illegitimately and in flagrant violation of the electoral law, with the sole aim of removing the President of the Republic, legitimately elected by universal suffrage," the statement maintains.
The party denounces what it calls a "power grab against the institutions" and calls on the Senegalese people to thwart what it presents as an attempted "institutional coup d'état." It demands that the President of the Republic and the judiciary take the necessary measures to preserve constitutional order, civil liberties, democracy, and peace.
Finally, the PDS condemns the violence allegedly suffered by MP Abdou Mbow, which it attributes to parliamentarians from Pastef.
