Abdou Mbow : « Hier, ce n'est pas moi qui ai été humilié, c'est l'Assemblée »
The budget orientation debate was marked by a particularly virulent intervention from MP Abdou Mbow. Before addressing economic issues, the elected official insisted on revisiting the incidents that had occurred the previous day in the National Assembly, directing sharp criticism at the institution's president, Ousmane Sonko. Visibly agitated, Abdou Mbow asserted that the previous day's events went far beyond him personally. "Yesterday, it wasn't Abdou Mbow who was humiliated. Yesterday, it was the National Assembly that was humiliated. Yesterday, it was the National Assembly's rules of procedure that were trampled upon," he declared before the chamber.
Directly attacking Ousmane Sonko, the MP challenged his "political and moral legitimacy" to preside over the National Assembly. According to him, the speaker's chair should never become "an instrument of domination and settling of scores," but remain a function exercised with "impartiality, restraint, and respect for the Assembly's rules of procedure." Abdou Mbow also accused the Speaker of the Assembly of allowing "a logic of confrontation" to take hold, going so far as to claim that female MPs from the majority had been sent to attack him during the incidents.
The parliamentarian did not spare the Pastef deputies. He criticized them for straying from the promised break with the past for the Senegalese people, accusing them of devoting more energy to "insults, slander, denigration," and attempts to humiliate their opposition colleagues. Despite these criticisms, Abdou Mbow asserted that his camp would not be intimidated. "We remain more determined than ever to defend the Republic, the rule of law, democracy, and freedoms," he declared, before returning to the discussions on the Budgetary Policy Debate.
