Senegal’s Alliance for the Republic (APR), the political camp of Macky Sall, has criticized ongoing parliamentary commissions of inquiry, deeming them a “media circus” orchestrated by Pastef at the expense of truth-seeking. The reaction follows a week of closely watched hearings at the Assemblée nationale, specifically regarding the State's built heritage. Testimony before the commission has implicated the former regime in mismanagement, including claims that the allocation of villas at Point E to former prosecutor Serigne Bassirou Guèye was directed by Macky Sall himself. The APR expressed outrage at the “farce of bad taste,” criticizing the form of the hearings as overly theatrical and prioritizing media attention over factual clarification. The party argues that the proceedings resemble a public trial of intent, disregarding the presumption of innocence to appease audiences. The APR emphasizes that a parliamentary inquiry is not a court and should focus on establishing facts, not generating sensationalism.
