After the political parties, civil society and the media, the CNRD is at loggerheads with other social actors in the country. Which portends instability in Guinea.
Since June 2022, socio-political actors in Guinea no longer use the same verb with the transitional authorities. While former president Alpha Condé, the president of the Ufdg, Cellou Dalein Diallo, and the president of the Ufr, Sidya Touré, have been in exile for more than a year.
In January 2024, another actor, not least, joined the dance. This is the Guinean trade union movement which denounces the high cost of living and the detention of one of their own, in this case, Sékou Jamal Pendessa, general secretary of the SPPG. Hence the reasons for filing a strike notice on Tuesday February 6, 2024.
To stem the crisis, the Guinean government invited union leaders around the negotiating table, Monday February 12, 2024. But as soon as the debates opened, the unionists slammed the door, arguing that they cannot negotiate before liberation. prior and unconditional from their comrade, Sékou Jamal Pendessa. If nothing is done by February 17, trade unionists are threatening to launch a notice of an indefinite general strike throughout the country.
Lifting the internet restriction; compliance with the agreement of November 15, 2023 which concerns the increase in the monetary value of the index point and the support of civil servants; the engagement of contract teachers in the public service; the downward review of the prices of essential foodstuffs such as the price of a 50 kg bag of rice which increased from 310 thousand to 340 thousand Gnf are the demands of the Guinean trade union movement. Completely legitimate demands which the CNRD has an interest in addressing.
A general strike is not in favor of the Guinean junta. Guineans have already had enough of the lack of electricity, water and internet, the muzzling of the press and the entire political class, here are other reasons which might ignite any strike movement at the moment.
