After the demonstration of thousands of people, on Saturday, June 17 at the call of civil society and the opposition, political parties of the presidential majority voiced reservations against the constitutional reform project, initiated by President IBK. Today, it is the turn of the magistrates to ask \u201cthe pure and simple withdrawal\u201d of the text.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many parts worthy of criticism in the current frame that are dangerous weapons in the hands of the executive\u201d, criticizes Mamadou Nanacass\u00e9 president of the autonomous union of the magistracy. He is referring to the possibility in the new draft for the President of the Republic to review the Constitution on convocation of the Congress, without going through a referendum.<\/p>\n

On the status of the magistracy, the red dresses are even angrier: \u201cwe do not understand what is hindering the current configuration and pushing its openness to members who have nothing to do with the corporation\u201d. We do not understand this fury if it is not a willingness to take over the magistracy\u201d, Mr. Nanacass\u00e9 says in indignation.<\/p>\n

In Mali, objections against the need for constitutional review are multiplying. Sometimes in the very camp of the presidential majority where at least four political parties have asked President Ibrahim Boubacar Ke\u00efta to \u201cre-read\u201d the project.<\/p>\n

This is the case of the National Congress of Democratic Initiative (Cnid) of the former minister of IBK Mountaga Tall. \u201cThis rereading could offer the opportunity for more in-depth, inclusive debates with mutual concessions on the main points of difference\u201d, the party said in an official statement.<\/p>\n

In the camp of former Prime Minister of Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, Moussa Mara, it is also believed that we must \u201creopen and encourage\u201d the debate around this review. \u201cThe debate will also shed light on certain shortcomings of the project that should in no way be overshadowed\u201d, said Mara, whose party \u201cYelema\u201d (change in the Bambara language) is part of the presidential majority. Still within the majority, the party of Yeah Samak\u00e9, Mali’s current ambassador to New Delhi, is much more categorical. The party will vote \u201cno\u201d in the current state of affairs. The National Union of Workers of Mali (UNTM) and the collective of the 60 markets of Bamako also join the \u201cNo\u201d camp. In Mopti in the center of the country, there were also demonstrations against the reform.<\/p>\n

President IBK continues consultations in Bamako where he is multiplying meetings on the subject. On Tuesday, in a statement, he said half-word not to be hermetically closed to a postponement of the calendar, but ensures \u201cto not yield anything to demagogy, outbidding and excesses\u201d.<\/p>\nAboubacar Dicko<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
