🔴 FONDS POLITIQUES : VOICI CE QUE DIOMAYE AVAIT PROMIS Le programme prévoyait d’abord la suppression des fonds dits « politiques ». Ils devaient être remplacés par des fonds spéciaux, avec une affectation beaucoup plus encadrée. À quoi devaient servir les nouveaux fonds spéciaux ? Ils devaient être réservés aux opérations ultra-sensibles, le programme donnant deux exemples : l’armement et les missions secrètes. Comment devaient-ils être autorisés ? Le texte précise qu’ils devaient être votés par l’Assemblée nationale. Comment devaient-ils être contrôlés ? Le programme prévoyait un contrôle spécifique a posteriori, c’est-à-dire après leur utilisation. Ce contrôle devait être exercé par une sous-commission composée de membres assermentés : * 2 députés de la Commission des finances : un issu de la majorité et un de l’opposition parlementaire ; * 2 magistrats de la Cour des comptes ; * le président de la Commission concernée. L’objectif affiché dans le programme était donc de passer de fonds politiques à la disposition des autorités à des fonds spéciaux destinés aux opérations sensibles, votés par l’Assemblée et soumis à un contrôle institutionnel a posteriori. 📖 Source : Programme « Diomaye Président », page 37. Cet engagement a d’ailleurs été rappelé publiquement en mai 2026 par Ousmane Sonko devant les députés. #Politique #Transparence #Finances_publiques

‼️🇫🇷🇮🇹 URGENT !!! Une forte explosion s'est produite dans l'usine de fabrication de munitions KNDS Ammo Italy à Colleferro, à 40 km au sud de Rome ! L'explosion a eu lieu dans le département de compression de la poudre et a été entendue à des kilomètres à la ronde. Pour rappel, KNDS est une entreprise franco-allemande de l’armement. Ça commence à faire beaucoup : Leipzig et la Bavière en Allemagne, Bulgarie, désormais l’Italie… À chaque fois, ce sont des sites en lien avec le soutien à l’Ukraine qui sont ciblés. Beaucoup de coïncidences… #explosion #Italie #armement
