“Political issues in the Democratic Republic of Congo are taking a new turn with the launch of the “Don’t touch my Constitution” campaign by the political party ECIDé. This initiative aims to protect the current constitution in the face of attempts to modify the regime of Felix Tshisekedi.
The announcement of this campaign, made by the provincial executive secretary of ECIDé, Mike Isem, highlights the party’s desire to defend the country’s democratic achievements. Based on article 5 of the constitution which stipulates that national sovereignty belongs to the people, Mike Isem underlines the importance of preserving institutional stability.
ECIDé’s approach is part of a logic of citizen mobilization to counter any attempt to modify the constitution by the power in place. This firm position is reinforced by the conviction that the constitution represents an essential pillar of Congolese democracy, acquired at the cost of numerous sacrifices.
The determination displayed by ECIDé reflects the desire of an entire people to preserve their democratic rights and freedoms. The refusal to see the constitution be modified for partisan or personal interests demonstrates exemplary civic vigilance.
In a tense political context, marked by heated debates around constitutional revision, the announcement of this campaign reaffirms the need to guarantee the rule of law and protect the democratic foundations of the country.
Through this citizen mobilization, ECIDé intends to defend the integrity of the constitution and prevent any attempt to destabilize the country. The determination of party members to follow through with their approach demonstrates their commitment to preserving the constitutional order.
In a country where political issues are crucial, citizen mobilization in favor of protecting the constitution constitutes a strong signal in favor of democracy. Faced with threats to the institutional order, the unity and vigilance of citizens are essential to defend democratic principles and fundamental rights.
The “Don’t touch my Constitution” campaign thus represents a call for general mobilization to preserve the country’s democratic achievements. Through this initiative, ECIDé defends the democratic ideal and recalls that the constitution is the guarantor of the unity and stability of the Democratic Republic of Congo.”
