Rupture à l’Assemblée nationale ? Le verdict sans appel d’un député
As for a systemic break with the past in the National Assembly, that's another story. That's the unequivocal verdict of MP Tahirou Sarr, who believes the institution remains a place where partisan interests take precedence over those of the people. "We are witnessing a deliberate continuation of the same institutional flaws as in the past," he lamented in an interview published this Thursday in L'Observateur.
Tahirou Sarr spares no one. “Members of parliament, both from the majority and the opposition, continue to defend their own side, or even their leader, above all else, rather than the general interest or the expectations of citizens. Parliamentary debates are, for the most part, reduced to verbal sparring and political score-settling. Arguments are more partisan than analytical, and votes are cast as a bloc, following the leaders' instructions. The National Assembly, and particularly this legislature, is far from embodying a counterweight to power; it most often simply rubber-stamps government decisions.”
Drawing on his own experience, Tahirou Sarr points to the "bias of this Assembly," which, he emphasizes, "is particularly evident in the handling of parliamentary questions." He insists: "I have repeatedly submitted written questions to the ministers, without ever receiving a response. Yet, one only needs to observe the sessions to see that questions from the majority party members receive prompt answers."
