Description

This Tuesday afternoon, the Benno Bokk Yaakaar (BBY) coalition invited the press for a statement. During this face to face with the journalists, a question created a stir.

SeneNews sources present on the scene of the BBY press conference have just confirmed that things are degenerating in Mermoz, the seat of the presidential movement. During her speech, Aminata Touré was asked about Macky Sall's feelings after the error announced on the number of sponsors filed by BBY.

“Is Macky Sall angry internally? asked the journalist. Enough for some BBY activists to go after her. Indeed, they rushed at her and tried to intimidate her. Heated discussions then took place.

An excessive reaction on the part of these militants of Benno Bokk Yaakaar who recalls that the freedom of the press is threatened. This is all the more incomprehensible since the question is, in itself, in no way impertinent or out of place. And even if she would have been, nothing justifies physical or verbal violence.
