Malaise à Pastef Thiès : Les coordonnateurs communaux frustrés après le « faux bond » de Sonko
The municipal coordinators of the PASTEF party met this Saturday in Thiès, as part of a national forum dedicated to territorial governance and the sustainable development of municipalities in Senegal.
Held under the theme: "Preparing for territorial governance: mastering resources, skills and levers for sustainable development of municipalities in Senegal", this meeting brought together more than 200 coordinators from different localities in the country.
However, this first major meeting of municipal coordinators since the creation of the party was marked by frustrations related to the absence of the president of PASTEF, Ousmane Sonko.
The forum organizers claim to have sent an official invitation to the party leader, with acknowledgement of receipt, but never received a response. This situation has left several participants bewildered.
“President Sonko did not honor our invitation. We sent him a letter and received an acknowledgement, but he did not come and did not send anyone to represent him. This is not normal,” some coordinators lamented.
They believe this meeting was an important opportunity for the party leader to engage with grassroots officials and strengthen ties with activists. Consequently, they are requesting that Ousmane Sonko grant a meeting to all local coordinators to facilitate these discussions.
Speaking at the event, Abdou Dione, coordinator of PASTEF in the commune of Kahone, explained that this forum aims to prepare local officials for the challenges of territorial governance.
According to him, the objective is to strengthen the coordinators' capacities in political organization, local governance, and the implementation of party guidelines. "Without training, it would not be legitimate to ask to be given responsibility in a locality," he stated.
Abdou Dione also emphasized the historic nature of this meeting: "Since 2014, the municipal coordinators had never met. This is a major first and marks a turning point in the history of the party," he rejoiced.
The participants finally stressed PASTEF's desire to innovate in political practice and to break definitively with old methods of electoral mobilization.
