In a turbulent political context in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Alliance for Change party, led by opponent Jean-Marc Kabund, recently expressed its firm opposition to the proposed constitutional change project proposed by the President of the Republic. This position was officially unveiled during a political morning organized in Kinshasa on Saturday, December 7.
Antoinette Bijoux Bilali, vice-president of the Alliance for Change party, clearly stated that neither the change of the constitution nor its revision will be supported by their political party. This categorical position demonstrates the firmness and determination of the opposition to oppose any modification of the fundamental law of the country.
This decision raises crucial issues in the country, while the debate on the need or not to reform the Constitution remains at the heart of political concerns. On the one hand, the President of the Republic puts forward arguments in favor of a possible modernization of the Constitution to strengthen institutions and promote the development of the country. On the other hand, the opposition, represented by the Alliance for Change party, fears the possible excesses and abuses of power that could result from such a reform.
Beyond political differences, this firm opposition of the opposition underlines the importance of respecting the rule of law and constitutional stability to guarantee democracy and fundamental freedoms in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Alliance for Change party thus positions itself as a defender of democratic principles and popular sovereignty.
This position also serves as a reminder of the vigor of the political debate and the diversity of opinions within the Congolese political scene. The refusal of the change of Constitution by the Alliance for Change party is a strong signal sent to the government and the international community, emphasizing that any constitutional reform project must be debated and discussed in a transparent and democratic manner.
In conclusion, this opposition of the Alliance for Change to the change of the Constitution in the Democratic Republic of Congo underlines the crucial issues surrounding the debate on constitutional reform. This firm position highlights the political tensions and differences of opinion within the Congolese political scene, and underlines the crucial importance of protecting democratic principles and the rule of law to ensure the stability and progress of the country.
