Quatorze anciens pr\u00e9sidents de groupe parlementaire \u00e0 l\u2019Assembl\u00e9e nationale du S\u00e9n\u00e9gal ont publi\u00e9 ce week-end une d\u00e9claration de soutien \u00e0 leur coll\u00e8gue Doudou Wade, vis\u00e9 par des poursuites judiciaires apr\u00e8s des propos tenus lors d\u2019une \u00e9mission sur la Tfm.
L\u2019affaire concerne le journaliste et animateur de Faram Faccee, Pape Ngagne Ndiaye, dont les d\u00e9clarations ont d\u00e9clench\u00e9 l\u2019ouverture d\u2019une proc\u00e9dure judiciaire visant l\u2019ancien pr\u00e9sident de groupe parlementaire. Dans leur d\u00e9claration commune, les signataires affirment leur \u00ab soutien fraternel, solidaire et r\u00e9publicain \u00bb \u00e0 Doudou Wade, tout en rappelant les principes fondamentaux de l\u2019\u00c9tat de droit. \u00ab La libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression, le droit \u00e0 la critique et le d\u00e9bat d\u00e9mocratique constituent des fondements essentiels de l\u2019\u00c9tat de droit \u00bb, soulignent-ils, en r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 la Constitution et aux engagements internationaux du pays.
Les anciens responsables parlementaires expriment leur inqui\u00e9tude face \u00e0 ce qu\u2019ils qualifient de \u00ab judiciarisation de la parole critique \u00bb dans un contexte national marqu\u00e9 par une \u00ab inqui\u00e9tude croissante des journalistes, des responsables politiques et des leaders d\u2019opinion \u00bb. Selon eux, les opinions exprim\u00e9es dans l\u2019espace public, relevant de l\u2019analyse politique ou du commentaire gouvernemental, ne sauraient \u00eatre criminalis\u00e9es sans porter atteinte au pluralisme d\u00e9mocratique.
La d\u00e9claration appelle les autorit\u00e9s comp\u00e9tentes \u00e0 la retenue et au sens de l\u2019\u00c9tat, afin de pr\u00e9server un climat d\u2019apaisement, de confiance et de dialogue, indispensable \u00e0 la coh\u00e9sion nationale et \u00e0 la stabilit\u00e9 institutionnelle.
