Pastef circumvents administrative ban on membership card launch in Ndiaganiao

Pastef views this as a "spectacular reversal" by the territorial administration, accusing it of abandoning republican neutrality to obstruct political party activities. The party has directly appealed to the Minister of Interior to end these actions, describing them as "repeated provocations" stemming from nervousness within the presidential movement. Instead of canceling the event, Pastef instructed its Ndiaganiao section to relocate the membership card operations to a private venue, such as the party headquarters, which does not require prior authorization.

This strategy aims to neutralize the administrative decision without legal confrontation, as private gatherings are generally exempt from public assembly regulations. While maintaining its opposition to the administration's decision, Pastef urged its members and sympathizers to remain calm and avoid provocation, reaffirming its commitment to a peaceful path to power and its intent to use all legal avenues to protect public freedoms.
