Tensions au sommet de l’État : Hady Ba alerte sur une confusion des rôles au cœur de l’exécutif
The tensions observed in recent months at the highest levels of government reflect a deep institutional crisis, according to philosophy professor and researcher Dr. Hady Ba. A guest on RFM's "Grand Jury" program this Sunday, January 4, 2025, he believes these frictions are symptomatic of a misunderstanding of the power structure in Senegal.
For the philosopher, the unease stems from the very nature of the Senegalese political system. "Senegal is a republic with a very strong presidential system. The President of the Republic is truly the head of state and holds the bulk of the power," he points out, emphasizing that this institutional reality leaves little room for ambiguity.
However, according to Dr. Ba, the desire to redistribute or challenge this hierarchy inevitably creates tension between the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister. "If the Prime Minister cannot submit to the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister resigns," he asserts, believing that such a situation is "structurally doomed to failure."
This confusion of responsibilities, he continues, fuels a broader democratic crisis, in which citizens struggle to identify the true centers of decision-making. "We no longer know who is responsible for what," he laments, also mentioning the impossibility of "clearly attributing the record" to a specific actor in the executive branch.

Sans vouloir faire couler le Sénégal c’est de l’égoïsme !
