本文分析了社会政治反对派的表达方式，通过研究1998年12月记者诺伯特·宗戈遇刺后出现的布基纳法索政治合法性的道德话语。通过对不同的政治声明、报纸和来自“街头”的各种评论的分析，它将打击有罪不罚现象的斗争定位于布基纳法索社会的社会和政治暗流中。在这方面，公共空间的概念是核心，因为公共空间界定了公共辩论的边界和关键政治行为体的行为。布基纳法索政治话语中反复出现的两个主题，即真理和勇气的观念以及白色人的合法性，说明了社会政治反对派试图界定公共空间的各种方式，在公共空间中，政治将被实践，行为将被那里的人所观察。但是，打击有罪不罚现象的斗争也是在象征性的层面上进行的，在这一层面上，关键的象征被挪用、解释并纳入政治话语。
This article analyses the ways in which socio-political opposition is expressed by looking into the morally loaded discourse of political legitimacy in Burkina Faso that emerged after the assassination of the journalist Norbert Zongo in December 1998. Through the analysis of different political statements, newspapers and various comments from the ‘street’, it locates the struggle against impunity in a social and political undercurrent in Burkinabe society. In this context, notions of the public space are central, because the public space defines both the boundaries of public debate and the behaviour of key political actors. Two recurrent themes in Burkinabe political discourse, namely ideas of truth and courage, and the legitimacy of White people, illustrate the various ways in which socio-political opposition seeks to define the public space within which politics is to be practised and the behaviour to be observed by those acting there. But the struggle against impunity also takes place on a symbolic level at which key symbols are appropriated, interpreted and incorporated into political discourse.
