Benin: Nourénou Atchadé emphasizes the importance of the opposition during the Parakou meeting.

Speaking on the preservation of democratic space, the leader of the opposition party emphasized that President Romuald Wadagni has no interest in seeing the opposition eliminated, warning that such a move would drive the country straight into a wall.

Regarding state management, he reminded that his party had long criticized the lack of social measures, while acknowledging that the government had acted in that direction upon taking office, a development appreciated by his party.

Finally, Nourénou Atchadé reiterated the vigilance of Les Démocrates, stating that the political party would continue to firmly criticize any potential drifts of the regime.

Concerning the establishment of the Senate presided over by former president Patrice Talon and the political truce for which this upper chamber is the guardian, the party’s position is already known through statements by Nathaniel Kitti and former parliamentarian Woroucourou.
