Réforme constitutionnelle : La société civile appelle à un équilibre réel des pouvoirs
A group of 46 civil society and trade union organizations published an opinion piece calling for a constitutional reform of responsibility and balance, stressing the need to prevent hyper-presidentialism and to guarantee an effective rebalancing of powers.
“At a time of major institutional change, trade unions and civil society organizations are calling for the consolidation of the rule of law through transparency, accountability and an effective rebalancing of powers,” write the signatories, including Afrikajom Center, Afrique Enjeux (Afex), Amnesty Senegal and Article 19 Freedom of Expression, reports APS.
The group outlines five priority areas: strengthening the role of Parliament, guaranteeing an independent judiciary, making transparency and accountability a pillar, promoting participatory democracy, and ensuring effective monitoring of the reform through an independent mechanism.
“The upcoming constitutional reform can mark a decisive step forward in the democratic consolidation of Senegal,” they stress, but warn that it could cause “profound disillusionment” if their demands for accountability and balance of powers are not taken into account.
