The Kinshasa provincial headquarters of the Nouvel Elan political party was vandalized by ECIDE militants. This violent behavior caused considerable material damage and injuries. Le Nouvel Elan strongly condemns these acts and calls for amicable compensation. If this is not possible, the party plans to seize the competent courts. Evidence of vandalism will be used in legal proceedings. The party also criticizes the inaction of the authorities and the silence of the political leadership of ECIDE. Finally, the New Momentum calls for calm and for rejecting revenge. Violence is incompatible with a healthy democracy and only policies based on the debate of ideas and mutual respect can ensure a prosperous future for all.
