Gouverner n’est pas liker » : Le parti Rewmi s'attaque à la « Live-cratie » d'Ousmane Sonko
Officials from the Rewmi party in Thiès faced the press to deliver their interpretation of national and international news, mixing institutional congratulations, historical perspective and frontal criticisms against the power in place.
They first praised the President's wise choice to hold the April 4th celebrations in Thiès. According to them, this decision honors the railway capital and puts the city back at the heart of the national dynamic. They believe that holding such an event with only three months of preparation demonstrates the city's structural potential.
Following this, they paid a heartfelt tribute to their leader, Idrissa Seck, recalling the major infrastructure investments launched as early as 2004 as part of the Thiès Development Projects. These Rewmi party officials are asking the President of the Republic to take advantage of his presence to officially inaugurate the infrastructure built at that time, in the name of republican continuity.
Rewmi calls on mayors to unite
Addressing local officials, the party denounced the pointless and untimely disputes, urging mayors to submit concrete proposals to ensure that the infrastructure related to the military parade would constitute sustainable investments for the local population. "Local development cannot be decreed; it must be built," insisted Saër Mangane.
On the political front, the tone has hardened. The party denounced the "political gatherings" organized at the Presidential Palace, deemed inappropriate given the current economic difficulties. Rewmi party officials in Thiès also targeted Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, criticizing what they call "live-cracy" governance. They accuse the head of government of prioritizing online pronouncements over, in their view, institutional work. "Governing isn't about liking. Administering isn't about scrolling," Mr. Mangane insisted. They took the opportunity to demand the release of Maodo Malick Mbaye.
War and the economy: the oil alert
Beyond national news, the Rewmi party spoke at length about the international situation, mentioning the American-Israeli strikes on Tehran and their potential economic consequences. The Strait of Hormuz is the central focus of their analysis, as it is considered strategic for global energy supplies.
According to them, a prolonged disruption would lead to a rise in crude oil prices and imported inflation that would severely impact African economies. The party describes it as a "double-edged sword" for Senegal. On the one hand, higher prices could increase revenues from the Sangomar field. On the other hand, the country remains dependent on refined product imports, which would expose households to soaring fuel prices, with repercussions for transportation, electricity via Senelec, and the cost of living.
These Rewmi officials also warn of the potential impact of a prolonged energy crisis on fertilizers and, consequently, on food sovereignty. They call for the use of any oil surpluses as a "social safety net" to cushion future shocks.
