Pulchérie Gbalet criticizes the opposition: « They do not deserve to lead Ivorians »

Since her exile, Pulchérie Gbalet, president of Alternative citoyenne ivoirienne, sharply criticizes the Ivorian opposition for its inability to prioritize national interest over self-interest. She denounces internal divisions, lack of a unified strategy, and opposition to civil society initiatives. She states that these divisions hinder the necessary unity to serve the people and criticizes the opposition's egocentrism, especially during the 2025 presidential election where Laurent Gbagbo and Tidjane Thiam were disqualified. Gbalet believes those seeking to free the people must make sacrifices, which she claims the opposition fails to do.
