Fatshimetrie: Mobilization against any change to the Constitution and a third term for Félix Tshisekedi
The political scene in the Democratic Republic of Congo has recently been animated by a resounding call launched by several political figures, citizen movements and opposition parties. Gathered at a press conference in Kinshasa, they expressed their firm opposition to any change to the Constitution that could allow Félix Tshisekedi to run for a third term at the head of the country.
The call, led by the president of the Alternative 2028 group, Ados Ndombasi, sounds like a rallying cry for the preservation of Congolese democracy. By describing Félix Tshisekedi’s supposed desire to modify the Constitution as an attempt at dictatorship, Ados Ndombasi calls on the Congolese to mobilize against what he perceives as an attempt to perpetuate power.
For this political actor, the President of the Republic has failed in his mission by ignoring the general interest and prioritizing his own political designs. The questioning of the pact of republican stability and the quest for a third term, or even a reign for life, are perceived as selfish initiatives with potentially disastrous consequences for Congolese democracy.
The call for mobilization launched by Ados Ndombasi calls on the Congolese to stand up against democratic regression. He invites a gathering in accordance with Article 64 of the Constitution, in a spirit of unity and reaffirmation of fundamental democratic principles. The signatories of this mobilization, among which are influential figures of the Congolese political scene, intend to recall that no one can claim to exercise more than two terms at the head of the country.
Delly Sessanga, Jean-Claude Katende, Fred Bauma, and many others, join this call in order to defend the democratic achievements of the Congolese people. They embody the voice of an opposition determined to preserve the integrity of the Constitution and prevent any authoritarian drift.
In a political context marked by uncertainties and tensions, this call for citizen mobilization resonates as a warning to the entire Congolese political class. It underlines the importance of unity and vigilance to defend the hard-won democratic gains of the Congolese people.
The initiative launched in Kinshasa is part of a dynamic of peaceful resistance and defense of democratic principles. Faced with crucial issues for the future of the Congolese nation, political actors and citizens are mobilizing to make their voices heard and preserve the democratic future of the country.
In conclusion, this call for mobilization represents a challenge to the power in place and marks the beginning of a citizen mobilization determined to defend democracy and fundamental freedoms.It is now up to the Congolese to rise up, unite and make their voices heard to preserve the democratic future of their country.
