PASTEF
Senegalese sovereigntist left · 2014– · Senegal · Left Sovereigntist · Electoral party · coding confidence low
Each axis runs from −10 to +10, with zero a genuine mixed or balanced position rather than an absence of opinion. A score describes a stated position and a governing record; it is not a judgement of merit. What each score means →
Core principles
Anti-corruption, monetary and resource sovereignty, renegotiation of colonial-era arrangements, social conservatism.
Economic model
Renegotiated oil and gas contracts, exit debate over the CFA franc, agricultural self-sufficiency, expanded social spending.
Organisation of powers
Won the presidency in 2024 weeks after its leaders were released from prison; alternation accepted by the outgoing government.
Reading note
Left economics with culturally conservative positions — a common configuration outside Europe and one that European labels handle badly.
