Fatshimetrie: Augustin Kabuya’s strong response to criticism
In the political turmoil that is shaking the Democratic Republic of Congo, Augustin Kabuya, the Secretary General of the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS), has recently distinguished himself with frank and hard-hitting statements towards his detractors. In a context where the tension between the different political actors is palpable, Kabuya spoke out to defend his party and its president, Félix Tshisekedi, against attacks and misinterpretations.
First of all, Augustin Kabuya categorically denied the rumors that President Tshisekedi had called opponents “beggars”. He firmly stated that such accusations were unfounded and only aimed at discrediting the head of state and his party. This refutation of the statements attributed to Tshisekedi shows Kabuya’s determination to defend the honor and integrity of the UDPS against any form of political-media manipulation.
Furthermore, the Secretary General of the UDPS launched serious accusations against Moïse Katumbi, leader of the Ensemble pour la République party, accusing him of preparing a rebellion by building an airport in Lubumbashi, in the Mulonde district, without prior authorization from the competent authorities. This case raises essential questions about the respect of rules and procedures in a country where transparency and legality of political actions should prevail.
Furthermore, Augustin Kabuya firmly recalled that the UDPS is a major political force in the DRC and that it will not accept any intimidation from the opposition. His warning sounds like a clear warning to those who would seek to disrupt the established political order or block important reforms for the country.
Finally, Kabuya called for a renewal of political discourse by inviting all actors to adopt constructive and innovative positions. He stressed the importance of proposing new ideas and going beyond personal attacks to promote a healthy and constructive debate in the service of the general interest.
In conclusion, Augustin Kabuya’s statements demonstrate a strong desire to defend the values and principles of his party in a tense political context. His strong response to criticism and his accusations against the opposition demonstrate an unwavering determination to make the voice of the UDPS heard in the public debate. It remains to be hoped that these exchanges will contribute to enriching political dialogue in the DRC and moving the country forward on the path to progress and democracy.
