Billets de pèlerinage : L'attaque frontale de Guy Marius Sagna contre Diomaye Faye
"The Senegalese people's ballots were also ballots for the abolition of privileges that were as superfluous as they were unjust." This statement by Guy Marius Sagna, a member of the National Assembly, resonates as a stark reminder of republican principles addressed to the current regime.
Breaking with the system of privilege
For the elected official, the message from the ballot box during the last presidential election is unambiguous: citizens did not simply choose a change in government, they demanded a clean break with a system of unjustified privileges. The member of parliament points to a disconnect between the actions of the highest levels of government and the realities on the ground.
"At the same time as the President of the Republic is distributing pilgrimage tickets, I, a member of parliament, receive daily concerns from Senegalese people which I pass on to the government, which takes its time to resolve them," he lamented bitterly.
High cost of living, access to healthcare, employment, housing: the social emergencies are well-documented and pressing. While Guy Marius Sagna concedes that profound transformations take time—reminding us that "Ndar (Saint-Louis) wasn't built in a day"—he nevertheless believes that this reality should not be used as a pretext for maintaining practices inherited from the old system.
According to him, citizens' patience has limits when symbols of the old regime, such as state favors, persist.
For the parliamentarian, setting an example must absolutely begin at the highest levels of government. From the Presidency to the National Assembly, he calls for an immediate overhaul of what he describes as "superfluous and undue" privileges.
Far from weakening institutions, the abolition of these advantages would, according to him, be a measure of public safety: "It is an essential condition for restoring trust between the rulers and the ruled, and for giving real substance to the change for which the Senegalese voted," he argues.
For Guy Marius Sagna, this fight against privilege is not a secondary issue. It is central to the reform of public action. The message is clear: political engagement must return to its original meaning, that of serving the people, and not of using power.
