“Thierry Monsenepwo: Congolese justice is impersonal and all citizens are equal before the law, even opponents”

In the Congolese news of June 10, 2023, Thierry Monsenepwo, communicator of the political platform of the Congolese Head of State, the Sacred Union of the Nation, makes people talk about him. Faced with the many reactions of opponents and human rights NGOs who denounce the dictatorial excesses of the regime in place, he remains convinced that the opposition seeks to fill at all costs a dark record against the Tshisekedi regime. He denies any influence of President Félix Tshisekedi in the face of the legal disputes facing opponents, citing the sacrosanct principle of separation of powers.

Continuing his argument, Thierry Monsenepwo affirms that the justice of a country is impersonal and that all citizens are equal before the law, whether they are opponents or members of the majority. He invites opponents to let justice do its job and does not hesitate to brandish the examples of American justice which condemned former President Donald Trump, or even South African justice which condemned Jacob Zuma, both being opponents of the regimes in place.

Regarding the demonstrations of the opponents, Thierry Monsenepwo says he is opposed to the claims of the latter who, according to him, make fun of the Congolese by wanting to hide behind “dear life”. For him, it is not a question of silencing the opposition but rather of enforcing public order.

Finally, to put an end to speculation on the future challenger of Félix Thisekedi in the presidential election of December 2023, Thierry Monsenepwo affirms that the electoral law alone determines who will be retained as a candidate on the final lists and that the Head of State does not intervene. in no way on the choice of candidates for any ballot.
