Assemblée nationale : « bébé de l’année », deux anciens députés sermonnent El Malick Ndiaye
The intervention of Pastef MP Cheikh Bara Ndiaye during the plenary session on increasing penalties for acts against nature (Article 319 of the Penal Code) has sparked outrage within the presidential camp. By referring to President Bassirou Diomaye Faye as a "baby of the year," the parliamentarian provoked the anger of the government's supporters, who are now demanding exemplary sanctions.
In an interview with Les Échos, former MP Théodore Cherif Monteil pointed out that the National Assembly's rules of procedure provide the Speaker of the Assembly with clear legal tools. According to him, such remarks could be considered public insults against the Head of State, an offense that authorizes the Speaker to have a report drawn up and to immediately refer the matter to the Public Prosecutor, in accordance with Article 62 of the rules.
For his part, Alioune Souaré deplores the lack of immediate reaction during the session. He believes that the presiding officer should have exercised his authority to maintain order by calling the MP to order, withdrawing his right to speak, or even temporarily removing him from the chamber.
"In the name of the separation of powers, the president of the National Assembly should not have allowed another institution, in this case the president of the Republic, to be attacked in this way within the chamber," the source told the daily newspaper.
