News (Dakar) – The Senegalese government denied the accusations against President Macky Sall of making a financial donation to the leader of the French National Front, Marine Le Pen, during her visit to Senegal last January.
And the Minister of Trade and Small and Medium Enterprises, the official spokesman for the Senegalese government, Abdou Karim Fofana, expressed his rejection and condemnation of “such loose, unfounded insinuations.”
And the Senegalese government official considered in a statement that such allegations “clearly reflect a malicious desire to discredit the person of the President of the Republic, to undermine the institution that he embodies and to harm relations between Senegal and a foreign power.”
“The government strongly states that it reserves the right to take any action it deems appropriate regarding these misleading, malicious and unworthy insinuations of a person who held high positions in the state,” the official spokesman said.
The former Senegalese Prime Minister, Sheikh Hajibou Somare, had published an open letter, in which he asked 4 questions to President Macky Sall, alluding in particular to a “possible financial donation to Mrs. Marine Le Pen.”
