Un tribunal s\u00e9n\u00e9galais a condamn\u00e9 lundi l’opposant Ousmane Sonko \u00e0 six mois de prison avec sursis lors d’un proc\u00e8s en appel pour diffamation mena\u00e7ant son \u00e9ligibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sidentielle de 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me Baboucar Ciss\u00e9, un avocat du plaignant, le ministre du Tourisme Mame Mbaye Niang, a assur\u00e9 devant des journalistes que cette peine rend M. Sonko in\u00e9ligible si elle est maintenue. \u00ab\u00a0Il a six jours pour se pourvoir. La cons\u00e9quence de cette d\u00e9cision, si elle est d\u00e9finitive, c’est de l’exclure\u00a0\u00bb des \u00e9lections, a-t-il d\u00e9clar\u00e9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
La cour d’appel si\u00e9geant \u00e0 Dakar a par ailleurs condamn\u00e9 M. Sonko en son absence \u00e0 verser 200 millions de francs CFA (300.000 euros) de dommages et int\u00e9r\u00eats \u00e0 Mame Mbaye Niang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
L’enjeu du poc\u00e8s d\u00e9passe largement la r\u00e9putation du ministre qui s’est estim\u00e9 diffam\u00e9 par l’opposant. Les textes en vigueur pr\u00e9voient une radiation des listes \u00e9lectorales, et donc une in\u00e9ligibilit\u00e9, dans certains cas de condamnation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
La condamnation de M. Sonko en premi\u00e8re instance \u00e0 deux mois de prison avec sursis avait suscit\u00e9 en mars la confusion initialement quant \u00e0 ses cons\u00e9quences sur son \u00e9ligibilit\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
