Poursuivi pour diffamation, l\u2019opposant s\u00e9n\u00e9galais a \u00e9cop\u00e9 de deux mois de prison avec sursis dans le proc\u00e8s que lui intentait Mame Mbaye Niang, le ministre du Tourisme. Une condamnation qui pr\u00e9serve sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00eatre candidat \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidentielle de 2024.<\/h2>\n

Apr\u00e8s trois reports successifs au cours des derniers mois, le proc\u00e8s intent\u00e9 par le ministre Mame Mbaye Niang \u00e0 l\u2019opposant embl\u00e9matique Ousmane Sonko vient enfin de conna\u00eetre son \u00e9pilogue, sous r\u00e9serve d\u2019un futur recours en appel.<\/p>\n

En l\u2019absence du principal\u00a0int\u00e9ress\u00e9,\u00a0dont les avocats ont tent\u00e9, sans succ\u00e8s, de faire valoir un certificat m\u00e9dical pour justifier son absence, le tribunal correctionnel de Dakar est pass\u00e9 outre et a refus\u00e9 d\u2019accorder un quatri\u00e8me report au pr\u00e9venu. Ses avocats ont alors d\u00e9sert\u00e9 l\u2019audience, boycottant la suite du proc\u00e8s et laissant leurs six confr\u00e8res de la partie adverse d\u00e9rouler leurs plaidoiries.<\/p>\n

Dommages et int\u00e9r\u00eats<\/strong><\/p>\n

Le tribunal a rendu sa d\u00e9cision dans la foul\u00e9e, condamnant Ousmane Sonko \u00e0 deux mois de prison avec sursis et \u00e0 verser\u00a0\u00e0\u00a0Mame Mbaye Niang des dommages et int\u00e9r\u00eats d\u2019un montant de 200 millions de francs CFA.<\/p>\n

Au vu du code \u00e9lectoral en vigueur, cette condamnation n\u2019hypoth\u00e8que donc pas les chances du pr\u00e9sident du parti Patriotes africains du S\u00e9n\u00e9gal pour le travail, l\u2019\u00e9thique et la fraternit\u00e9 (Pastef) de se porter candidat lors de la pr\u00e9sidentielle de 2024. Enjeu sous-jacent de ce proc\u00e8s pour diffamation, la perspective d\u2019une in\u00e9ligibilit\u00e9 avait jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le d\u00e9terminant dans les audiences relatives \u00e0 cette proc\u00e9dure, sans cesse\u00a0report\u00e9es\u00a0jusque-l\u00e0.<\/p>\n
