Les trois piliers de la relation Diomaye-Sonko expliqués par le chef de l'État
As rumors of tensions at the highest levels of government fuel public debate, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye sought to clarify the nature of his relationship with his Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko. Speaking to the press, the head of state rejected any notion of a crisis, describing a relationship structured around three dimensions: institutional, personal, and political. On the state level, Bassirou Diomaye Faye was unequivocal. "I am the President, he is the Prime Minister," he stated, emphasizing that this collaboration rests first and foremost on trust, which he said remains intact at this stage. "He is doing his job properly, and so far I am satisfied," he affirmed. But the message was also marked by firmness: this trust is not a blank check. "The day this satisfaction is no longer there, I will put Senegal first and I will look for another," he warned, thus reaffirming the absolute primacy of the national interest.
Beyond institutional relations, the president alluded to a longer-standing and closer relationship with Ousmane Sonko, forged well before their rise to power. "It's a relationship of acquaintance, almost familial," he confided, mentioning personal ties so strong that they extend to the choice of first names within their respective families. Having weathered numerous trials together over the past ten years, the two men share a long-standing bond. In this context, the president clarified that any disagreements are systematically handled internally. "If there are differences, we discuss them amongst ourselves, not externally," the head of state explained, keen to preserve the image of cohesion necessary at the highest levels of the executive branch.
Finally, the relationship between the two heads of the executive branch is part of a broader political dynamic.
Bassirou Diomaye Faye reiterated that their commitment has always been built on a collective approach, emphasizing that the PASTEF party has never acted alone. From this perspective, the transition from a victorious electoral coalition to a governing coalition appears as a natural evolution. The president thus urged people not to overinterpret the ongoing political realignments. Finally, he was categorical: "There is no institutional crisis, and there will not be." A strong statement intended to reassure the public, in a context where the slightest disagreement fuels the most intense speculation.
