Despite earlier commitments for reform, Bassirou Diomaye Faye and Ousmane Sonko collectively opposed the President’s departure from the Superior Council of Magistracy.
They also overlooked calls for applications to key leadership positions, a move directly contradictory to their stated program.
A promise to repeal the amnesty law ultimately went unfulfilled, with the legislation remaining unchanged.
Furthermore, they silently allocated political funds among themselves, even though enacting reforms to regulate these funds only required a parliamentary majority — a majority they secured just months after assuming office.
Conversely, individuals who previously refrained from initiating any significant reforms during the period when Sonko and Diomaye were aligned are now demonstrating an extraordinary zeal for changes they had ample time to implement and complete.
The National Assembly, a cornerstone institution of the Republic, warrants a more dignified approach than mere settling of scores, political posturing, or the theatrical staging of a split that cannot erase their collective and shared responsibilities.
