Macky Sall's party criticizes current government's economic policies and calls for release of political detainees

Macky Sall's Alliance for the Republic APR has issued a critique of the current government's direction, following the Prime Minister's statements on April 4, 2026. The former ruling party asserts that the Executive lacks solutions to alleviate the difficult living conditions faced by the populace. The APR also denounces what it describes as a "violent austerity policy" that would disproportionately affect youth, women, rural communities, and retirees. The party further points to inefficient economic management, accusing the government of favoring a "fiscal hammering policy" over structural projects. The APR expresses indignation that the population is suffering while the government is characterized by "opulence, waste, cronyism, and the use of state resources for propaganda." In solidarity with unions and social forces, the APR calls on authorities to immediately address workers' demands. Finally, the party demands the release of political detainees and urges national stakeholders to intensify their mobilization against a government it labels as "incompetent and liberty-destroying."
