Tension à l'hémicycle : L'opposition saisit le Président de l’Assemblée suite à des propos jugés menaçants
The atmosphere grew tense in the National Assembly, where exchanges between members of the majority and the opposition devolved into a verbal altercation. The opposition, through MP Djimo Soumaré, announced that it would formally petition the Speaker of the National Assembly and appeal to public opinion.
The incident was triggered by comments from the majority party MP, Mayobe Mbaye, following a debate on the new measure against absenteeism.
Mayobe Mbaye stated that he had taken note of the intervention of certain young MPs, before issuing a clear warning to the opposition: "If this is repeated, I will let the young people provide the appropriate responses. From now on, it will be an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
Mayobe Mbaye justified his firm stance by recalling that Ousmane Sonko had, in his opinion, "endured everything" in the National Assembly. He then addressed the opposition directly: "You are opposition members of parliament, oppose as you wish, but we will no longer accept insults and baseless accusations."
MP Djimo Soumaré denounced these remarks, calling them a dangerous lapse. He expressed his shock that a "seventy-year-old man would threaten opposition MPs." He emphasized the equal dignity of those elected by direct universal suffrage: "Every time we are insulted, I attribute it to a lack of education. We are all Senegalese citizens of equal dignity, elected by direct universal suffrage. We can accept tensions, but not threats."
The opposition intends to alert public opinion to what it describes as an "authoritarian drift and disrespect for parliamentary democracy".

Ça prends une opposition capable de discuter économie, projet de société. Regarder Tafsir Tioy, il participe rigoureusement aux débat avec des contributions pertinentes. Que fait votre Amadou Ba ? Nada !! Les gens de Macky Sall sont là juste la juste pour leur salaire.
C'est triste pour l'opposition. Vous allez finir par avoir une bastonnade. Et on approuvera.
Il faut travailler à apporter un projet différent en dehors de Adji Sarr et de la crise casamancaise.
Maintenant la stratégie de Macky sall c’est de devenir le meilleur ami de Diomay avec l’aide de Alassane Ouattara pour combattre Sonko mais bon les Sénégalais les attendent de pieds fermes.
