Bonjour and welcome to Kewoulo. In this magazine, on Monday, July 7, 2025, we explore together the burning subjects, the major issues and the unprecedented revelations that rhythm the Senegalese news. Stay with us for all to know, sans détour.. It is not a question of a single currency. Le Soleil relayed the promises of the Prime Minister on an economic revival, sign of a voluntarist discourse in the face of difficulties. WalfQuotidien speaks of mission costs becoming a budgetary burden, revealing the difficulty of rationalising public expenditure. Libération announces that Woodside, an oil operator, is under the threat of a new judicial and financial front, creating uncertainty over hydrocarbon revenues. EnQuête and L’Info highlight criticisms of the State’s real estate management (VAS) and health scandals such as tuberculosis, which are seen as revealing budgetary deficiencies. Sud quotidien alerte sur un État en quête de panacée, incapable for the time being of appeasing the economic tensions. The contrast is stark between the government’s optimistic announcements and the persistence of warning signals on the sustainability of public finances and the effectiveness of reforms. Justice and institutions. Tribune et Les Échos report that the majority of the magistrates do not agree to a meeting with Ousmane Sonko, reinforcing the climate of confrontation. L’Évidence evokes a judicial harassment against some political and municipal actors. L’Observateur reflects on the weakening of the forces of order in the face of the mounting tensions. Source A note un sonko en mode fermeté, signe que le bras de fer judiciaire et politique remains central to the development of the European Union and its relations with its neighbours. The massive judiciarisation of public life feeds the crisis of confidence in the institutions and a spiral of defiance. Governance and political climate.
