The main leaders of the FNDC, which brings together most of civil society and the political opposition, met this Friday, December 20 to reaffirm their opposition to the draft new Constitution, formalized the day before by President Alpha Condé.

Contrary to expectations and despite meeting hours, no strong announcement from the FNDC this Friday. The leaders simply reaffirmed their opposition to the draft new Constitution .

" We too will not back down, warns Cellou Dalein Diallo, leader of the opposition. We have the advantage and the determination of the people not to accept it. We are entering a crisis that risks having economic, social and political consequences. "

What do political parties think of the new text proposed by the Head of State? “ We even reject the principle of a new Constitution. So from there, whatever he puts in there, that no longer concerns us, said Ibrahima Bangoura vice-president of the UFR . We don't want the new Constitution. It is an illegal procedure, we think it is illegal, we are not going to accompany it illegally . "

Resumption of demonstrations

It is diversion, comedy, adds Sékou Koundouno, from the Citizen Broom. " It is a rag, it is a cloth that is offered to the sovereign people of Guinea, made between friends and girlfriends for the sole purpose of satisfying the wishes and forfeiture of the prince and his accomplices. "

A step taken towards the adoption of a new Constitution but no change of strategy yet on the FNDC side. " Tell Mr. Alpha Condé that the dream he has may well turn into a nightmare in the weeks to come, " said Abdourahmane Sanoh, national coordinator. The protests, he said, will resume at the end of next week.

Convinced that this is only a ploy to allow the head of state to remain in power beyond his two constitutional mandates, the FNDC has been organizing mass demonstrations for two months and intends to continue in this way.
