Sonko-Diomaye : le nouveau “je” politique !
By dint of repeating "we", through the slogan "Diomaye moy Sonko", Senegalese politics may have just rediscovered its old habits with a well-polished, well-ironed "I", which slips into speeches like a discreet guest... but which always ends up taking up all the space at the table.
Behind the scenes of power, everything seems fine. Impeccable photos, perfectly timed handshakes, smiles calibrated to the millimeter. The institutional facade exudes serenity. But on the political front, the floorboards are already creaking under the weight of ambition.
The scene is almost choreographed. The President stings. The Prime Minister counter-attacks. One convenes the "Diomaye President" coalition, the other summons the APTE, then the Pastef National Council, with, as the political cherry on top, a congress announced for June.
At this rate, Dakar may soon run out of chairs for all these strategic meetings.
The most fascinating aspect remains the subtlety of the game. No one breaks off relations. No one slams the door. They observe each other, size each other up, each advancing their own piece, but always with a family smile for the official photo. A kind of velvet cohabitation, where they vie for the future while sharing the present.
Senegal is thus discovering a new political sport: diplomatic arm wrestling. No shouting, no drama. Just busy agendas and barely coded messages.
Meanwhile, the Senegalese are watching this duel with the curiosity of an audience watching a series whose ending no one knows. For now, the pilot episode promises suspense.
In any case, when two “I”s become too large in the same political sentence, the “we” often ends up asking for… a break.
