Référendum : «Diomaye Faye fait monter la pression sur les…»
President Diomaye Faye's plan to revise the Constitution by referendum is facing significant financial constraints. According to economist Meissa Babou, interviewed by Walfadjri, the organization of this vote risks being jeopardized by the economic crisis. By calling this referendum, the head of state is "increasing the pressure on public finances, which are already struggling to recover," particularly because "the last quarter of 2026 remains extremely difficult."
According to him, this financial pressure on the public treasury is "not at all rational," especially since the State has to deal with the Economic and Social Recovery Plan (PRES), "the heavy financial bill granted to the energy subsidy," and "repayments that exceed five thousand billion CFA francs to be honored."
Faced with this overloaded schedule, including "local deadlines at the very beginning of 2027" and other events planned until 2030, or even 2032, the lecturer-researcher at the Faculty of Economics and Management (FASEG) at Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD) believes that "a more rational approach would have been to postpone this referendum." He considers it "not appropriate to organize a referendum solely to pass specific points that benefit him."
