On September 30, 2026, the Bloc Libéral party, led by Oumar Sanoh, held a press conference at its headquarters in Lambanyi, Guinea. During the conference, the party urged the Guinean authorities to prioritize national calm and engage in sincere, inclusive, and structured political dialogue. The party emphasized that this dialogue should be oriented towards achieving tangible results and involve all components of national life.

The Bloc Libéral party highlighted the importance of an independent and accessible judiciary, which it considers a fundamental element of the rule of law. According to Oumar Sanoh, the judiciary must be protected from political, economic, and social pressures, and every citizen should be able to trust the judge. The party stressed that the rule of law should not remain a mere formula but be translated into daily life through equality before the law, protection of liberties, and trust in institutions.

The party's call for national calm does not imply abandoning judicial procedures or undermining the principle of accountability. Instead, it seeks to create conditions for Guinea to move beyond tensions and engage in constructive political dialogue. The Bloc Libéral party emphasized that national calm should not be confused with forgiveness, impunity, or renunciation of justice.

Oumar Sanoh outlined the party's proposals for addressing various issues in Guinea, including the state of law, justice, detention of individuals in politically charged cases, security, major projects, and socio-economic development. The party identified four key priorities: strengthening institutions and promoting inclusive dialogue, shedding light on disappearances and compensating victims of the September 28, 2009 events, prioritizing road safety and security, and ensuring transparency in major projects.

The Bloc Libéral party's recommendations also focus on investing in youth, employment, and training, as well as empowering local authorities. According to Oumar Sanoh, these priorities are interconnected, with dialogue fostering trust, justice consolidating the Republic, security protecting citizens, and more equitable development giving concrete content to Guinea's independence.

The party's vision for Guinea's future emphasizes the importance of credible institutions, guaranteed justice, protected citizens, and a developed economy. Oumar Sanoh stressed that independence should not be limited to a date on the calendar but rather be a permanent project. He also highlighted the need to accept political pluralism and recognize the opposition as a legitimate contributor to democracy.

The Bloc Libéral party's proposals aim to create a Guinea where citizens can freely express their opinions, justice is not influenced by social status or political affiliation, and natural resources serve national development. The party seeks to ensure that young people can look to the future with confidence, women have a greater role in economic, social, and political life, and institutions are strong enough to outlast their leaders.
