The debate on the hidden debt has been revived in recent days by the departures of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and its head of mission in Senegal, Edward Gemayel. The former ruling party, the Alliance for the Republic, has just replied.. The executive secretariat (Sen) of the political formation considers that the Pastef regime, “whose failure is now acknowledged by the populations, the enterprises and the partners, is in denial and fleeing forward, insisting on a supposed hidden debt to mask its incurable”. However, what seems to obscure the Sen de l’Apr, is above all the actual posture of the Fmi.. For him, the declarations of the head of mission of the IMF, Edward Gemayel, “are contradictory, grave and intolerable”. And so, the Senate said to “condemn them with the greatest firmness”. In fact, what Macky Sall and his party comrades regret is that “the IMF’s chief of mission seems to validate the existence of a hidden debt through a curious and worrying mode of speech”. For them, the IMF had to date published no official document on the subject “therefore the statements of an expert isolated and engaging only him and not the States and institutions”, they declared.
