The President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, has spoken, during his interview with France 24 on Friday, on the possible legal proceedings against those responsible for the former regime of Macky Sall. The Head of State underlined that public order and civil peace rest on a justice equitably distributed. He emphasized the distinction between vengeance and justice. “I always make the difference between se faire justice et rendre la justice. Rendering justice presupposes respecting the presumption of innocence of every individual, respecting his rights and ensuring him a fair and equitable trial. “We are not going to allow the Senegalese people to go to the polls”, said President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, adding that there should be no “presumption of guilt on any person”. In conclusion, he insisted on the serenity of the process: “Everyone is free to express his opinions. But when the justice has to decide, it will do so in a calm manner and on the basis of material elements, before an independent judge who will judge according to his inner conviction “, a précisé le Président de la République.
