The state of emergency will be lifted. Life will have to resume its normal course from this July 1, 2020. If this is so, it is because the National Assembly has not yet been seized by the Executive to extend this state of emergency . Reached on the phone by iRadio, the president of the Law Commission, Seydou Diouf confirmed this fact. “The National Assembly is not going to extend the state of emergency for the simple reason that it has not received a bill asking for its extension,” he implied.
The National Assembly was not seized in the sense of an extension of the state of emergency and the curfew
The President of the Republic, who also decides this evening, at 8 p.m., in a new address to the Nation, could thus formalize the lifting of the exceptional measure that he had introduced last March, before extending it three times, in April, May and June.
“This authorization came within the framework of the enabling law which in its article 4 stipulated that: ” The state of emergency was extended for a period of three months from the publication of the enabling law . If the three months are coming to an end and there is not a new request, a new bill asking for prorogation, there is also not an internal mechanism in the assembly including a proposal for law requesting this extension, that means that the state of emergency should not be extended. We have come to the end and life will resume as normal, ”said Seydou Diouf.
