And Jëf / Parti Africain pour la Démocratie et le Socialisme (And Jëf / PADS, Acting Together / African Party for Democracy and Socialism ) is a socialist party in Senegal .

Political orientation

And Jëf / PADS emerged in 1991 from the merger of four left-wing organizations: And-Jëf / Mouvement Révolutionnaire pour la Démocratie Nouvelle (AJ / MRND, formerly Maoist ), Union pour la Démocratie Populaire (UDP, Maoist), Organization Socialiste des Travailleurs (OST, Trotskyist ) and the circle around the magazine SUXXUBA ( pan-Africanist ).

And Jëf / PADS has been represented by two ministers in the government of President Abdoulaye Wade since the change of government in 2000 , the Secretary General of the Landing Savané party is currently Minister for Industry and Crafts, Awa Fall Diop is Minister for Cooperation with Parliamentary Institutions. There is increasing criticism of government participation from the left wing of the party due to the neoliberal government policy.
