Moustapha Diakhaté : « 16 mois de clochardisation de la République »
Moustapha Diakhaté, former MP and chief of staff under Macky Sall, delivered a scathing critique of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye's governance during a press briefing held on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, at the Le Relais Hotel in Dakar. Describing Faye's 16-month presidency as "a bumbling of the Republic, a war against the rule of law, and a restriction of freedoms," he accused the head of state of violating the Constitution from his first decision by repealing the decree appointing the President of the Supreme Court, an act he considers contrary to the republican normative framework.
Diakhaté also denounced the dissolution of the National Assembly during an extraordinary session, which he considered a move to protect Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and avoid a motion of censure from the former majority party, Benno Bokk Yakaar (BBY). He criticized the handling of the electoral calendar, saying the president withheld the Constitutional Council's letter for 64 days, leaving opponents only ten days to prepare for the legislative elections, which, he said, compromises the fairness of the electoral process.
On the economic front, Diakhaté is particularly virulent, calling the economic recovery plan a "catastrophe": "There is neither an economic vision nor a social project. They talk about restoring public finances, but this plan is illegal and has not even been adopted by the National Assembly." He accuses the regime of lacking the courage to implement its own measures and believes that this plan will neither reduce the state's standard of living nor effectively combat debt.
Finally, Diakhaté attacks Ousmane Sonko's promises to Senegalese youth: "He promised them wealth. Today, he's asking them for money," he says ironically, highlighting what he sees as a denial of the Faye-Sonko tandem's electoral commitments.
