This Monday, February 19, 2024, the 13 union structures held a meeting at the Labor Exchange in Kaloum.
To date, a moratorium from this Tuesday until Thursday 22 has been granted to the current authorities to release the secretary general of the Union of Press Professionals of Guinea (SPPG) who is the basis of all the negotiations.
On this occasion, many other demands will be negotiated.
“Rather, we summoned the 13 union centers for a meeting with the aim of consulting within the framework of filing a strike notice, which is what we did today. We can remember this: all 13 union structures being present, we were instructed to go to their different bases to provide information, raise awareness and return on Thursday. So that we file a strike notice in return. It remains maintained, it remains maintained. Either the unconditional release of Sékou Jamal Pendessa is the first demand which is not canceled at all. She [revendication] will of course continue. When Pendessa is liberated, he will be among the negotiators so that other gray areas are liberated, notably the Internet, the jamming of the waves but also the high cost of living which prevails on the market,” declared Amadou Diallo, coordinator general of the trade union movement of Guinea, general secretary of the CNTG.
In the same vein, to the question of whether this detour is not a waste of time, he replies: “No, not at all, to jump better you have to go back. We must not rush into haste so that we can fail, no. This is why we started these various discussions so that it could have a positive outcome. We have not received any other information on this except the press release from the prosecution which has passed. Each of us has seen it so we are at this level.
We have a primary demand, that of the release of Pendessa. If he is released, the negotiations will continue but the most important thing is the release of Sékou Pendessa and the negotiations will continue after his release.
Concerning the words of the now former Minister of Justice saying that no action can constrain justice, the coordinator launches a challenge: this only concerns the person who said it. That only concerns this one. On Thursday we will meet and we will file the strike notice. No other pressure will be able to be exerted on the Guinean trade union movement. If they are also men and capable and I weigh my words carefully, let them stay until Thursday without releasing comrade Pendessa, they will have the strike notice,” challenged Amadou Diallo, general coordinator of the Guinean trade union movement. , SG of the CNTG.
