Politics has its limits, according to Hamed Bakayoko

However, once these political activities are over, he insisted that it is essential to preserve human relations between individuals. For Bakayokopolitics should never take precedence over these personal ties, a belief he considered one of his core tenets.

He reminded that even if he could disagree politically with some people, this should not interfere with the quality of their personal relationships. They continued to meet, visit each other and discuss everything, promoting the idea that politics should remain in its own domain.

Advocacy for lasting human relationships

“Politics is politics, with its battlefield that includes elections, ballot boxes and political campaigns. But once these moments have passed, there remains the human relationship between people. We must never let politics dominate the human relationship, it is of paramount importance. For me, this is one of my principles. There may be political disagreements, but this should not affect our human relations. We see each other, we visit each other, and we discuss everything,” said Hamed Bakayoko.

These words recall the wisdom of a politician who, despite the turmoil of the political scene, knew how to preserve the importance of human relations at the heart of his vision of the world.
