PASTEF Youth in Spain Set to Boycott President Diomaye Faye

Written by: The Fatu Network News Desk

President Bassirou Diomaye Faye is set to begin a 72-hour official visit to Spain from Tuesday at the invitation of King Felipe VI, but the trip is already facing political tension as youth members of the ruling PASTEF party in Spain have announced a boycott of his engagements, citing disagreement with positions they say go against the party’s line.

The development comes as a growing rift between Faye and his prime minister, Ousmane Sonko, becomes more visible, with the two leaders, who came to power together in 2024, now showing signs of a power struggle and factions beginning to take sides openly.
