Rampage of the headquarters of “Les Echos”: Abdoulaye Diop denounces “irresponsible acts”

Dakar, Jul 4 (APS) – The Minister of Culture and Communication called “irresponsible acts” the attack on the headquarters of the newspaper “Les Echos” and the ransacking of work equipment, adding that they “would have could otherwise lead to a much more serious situation “.

The minister who expressed “a strong indignation, coupled with a deep sorrow”, considers that “the attack (…) of the headquarters of the newspaper ‘Les Echos’ and the sacking of work equipment by a group of individuals “constitute” irresponsible acts “which” might otherwise have resulted in a much more serious situation “.

“While expressing my entire solidarity with the Director of the publication and the workers, I strongly condemn such abuses which do not honor their authors and which can in no way be tolerated”, indicates Abdoulaye Diop in a press release sent to APS.

Senegal “is a rule of law where freedom of the press is a fundamental achievement enshrined in the Constitution”, recalls Abdoulaye Diop who “remains, therefore, convinced that the appropriate follow-up will be reserved for the complaint lodged so that the authors of these wrongdoing be brought to justice “.

He “calls for restraint and a sense of responsibility from all so that the efforts of our country, resolutely deployed in the fight against Covid 19, are not weakened by such abject practices”.

The daily Les Echos announced on Monday that Serigne Moustapha Sy, leader of the Moustarchidines and president of the Unity and Rally Party (PUR), had been “struck down by the Covid-19” and admitted to the main hospital of Dakar.
