Do we have the audacity to want the impossible?

Do we dare to want development built on confidence in our own effort?

Do we have the nerve, the insolence to dream of a prosperous Senegal, free from social distress and dealing as an equal with the great nations of this world?

And who are we to dare this dream?

Nothing less than an entrepreneurial people, reconciled with itself;

Nothing less than a nation responsible for its choices;

Nothing less than an economy where added values converge:

value added by a State that is a partner in economic and social well-being,

value added by an exemplary private sector and a people who make effort and solidarity their ideology,

value added by our opinion leaders, shapers of a collective consciousness that puts confidence in ourselves first.

And who are we to dare this dream?

Senegalese who believe in Senegal.
