Question 12824 — foreign policy

Summary

Ms. Anna Pic draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to French diplomatic action with regard to the political situation in Togo. At the end of June 2025, following the adoption of a constitutional reform aimed at establishing the authority of Head of State Faure Gnassingbé, the city of Lomé was crossed by demonstrations violently repressed by the Togolese authorities. Thus, according to the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), the World Organization Against Torture (OMCT), Amnesty International and the citizen coalition “Tournons La Page”, seven people lost their lives and more than a hundred were arrested, of whom around fifty are still detained by the authorities. At the same time, persistent restrictions on fundamental freedoms such as strict limitations on freedom of assembly appear persist, always with the objective of preserving the political power in place. This situation calls for strong international mobilization in which France must be able to play an important role in obtaining the release of detained people or, failing that, the granting of effective procedural guarantees to guarantee their fundamental rights and freedoms. The French policy of cooperation with this State could, at for example, be subject to certain requirements in this area. She asks him his intentions and what actions have already been taken in this direction.
