It was a polichinelle secret, it is now public. Guillaume Soro is the Ivorian presidential candidate of 2020. The former president of the National Assembly, who became opponent of the Alassane Ouattara regime, announced it during a meeting with diaspora sympathizers in Valencia, Spain on Saturday. .

In Valencia, Spain, Saturday, ahead of his supporters in the diaspora, Guillaume Soro puts an end to a false suspense that he maintained for months. " There are political parties that are pro-Soro, who have already chosen me to be their candidate. So, I would be a candidate. Now, if I win in the first round, honestly, I'll be happy. But if there is a second round, the one with the most points will have the support of others . "

During this meeting broadcast on social networks, Guillaume Soro says that men posing as police Interpol Spain made a night raid in his hotel in Barcelona early last week, to try to challenge him. They would have left after long discussions and his refusal to follow them.

" Because I do not want to campaign at the RHDP ... "

Guillaume Soro, abroad for several months, accuses the Ivorian power of having mounted this operation intended according to him to "humiliate" and to multiply harassment, like having canceled a visa for the United States or delaying issue him a new passport.

" But why so much hatred? I did what ? Just because I do not want to campaign at RHDP (Rally of Houphouetists for Democracy and Peace) usually, countries are fighting to get their nationals in other countries. But my country is fighting for all the countries to stop me . "

Victimization strategy, electoral campaign buzz or real political harassment, the former Prime Minister assures him that he will file a complaint. In Abidjan, a source close to power denies any connection of the Ivorian government with this case. " I'm categorical: it does not come from home. We did not seize Interpol, "says another leading security source.
