“An international conspiracy against Macky Sall!” This is quite simply what Lawyer Robert Bourgi observes. This Franco-Senegalese friend of President Macky Sall did not refrain from criticizing the outings of Lawyer Juan Branco, Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Tariq Ramadan. The French lawyer called on Senegalese “from all sides to come together and preserve this island of peace that is Senegal”.

The Franco-Senegalese lawyer and friend of the Head of State is of the opinion that there is an « international conspiracy » against President Macky Sall. Guest of the Grand Jury program of the Rfm, Lawyer Robert Bourgi expressed his point of view with the latest unfortunate events that have shaken the country. Returning, to the violent demonstrations of the beginning of the month in Senegal, the lawyer observed. “I saw some videos where law enforcement sought to respond to the attackers.  The Attackers were trained, spontaneous attackers do not have this sense of dispersion and encirclement of the Forces of order. Sufficient enough, in the eyes of Lawyer Bourgi, to declare: “That is why I am telling you: there is a conspiracy. There are alien forces. There are people who trained these attackers, these young people who went to commit looting and violence.

This close friend of President Macky Sall even spoke of the desire of these so-called foreign forces to destabilize Senegal. An approach that Lawyer Robert Bourgi describes as “unacceptable in a State of Law”. Which leads him to say that: “All Senegalese, from all sides, have every interest in reaching out to each other and preserving this island of peace that is Senegal.”

Shoots on Juan Branco, Mélenchon and Tariq Ramadan

On the latest comments of several foreign personalities on the political situation prevailing in Senegal, Mr. Bourgi declared: « there are African States which have known the third term and even the fourth term, but never there was this deluge of criticism… Here is Lawyer Branco coming to pour out his hatred. Here is the brilliant lawyer turned general overseer. If you are not nice, I will issue your detention sheet to go to the International Criminal Court. He already booked rooms in The Hague prison… Here is Mr. Mélenchon who finds that President Macky Sall is a dictator. But tell me who are Mélenchon’s favorite presidents? Chavez, Maduro, Castro,” the black robe stated.

Who could not help but continue: “Now, freed in quote from all his legal problems in Switzerland, now Mr. Tariq Ramadan is flying to the aid of the Senegalese patriots. I believe that Mr. Ramadan has something else to do than to take an interest in Senegal. Let him take a little interest in the acts committed by the Muslim Brotherhood. Let him take an interest in his sermons, the only sympathizers of which were, coincidentally, of the so-called weaker sex. Me, I did not receive as many visits in the hotel rooms as Tariq Ramadan.”
