“The interest of the people must be privileged”
It is by far the largest delegation that has participated in the national consultations since Monday. Five governors, dozens of deputies and senators, of all tendencies, met with President Félix Tshisekedi on Thursday.

“The Province of Equateur is breaking all negative records, and poverty has reached unbearable levels. And it is important that in this composition-refoundation configuration, Ecuador’s centrality in the refounding of this state is taken into account. In addition, it is not normal for a province, which has so many enormous difficulties, to be deprived of all the institutional resources, in particular the 10% to come from the non-functioning National Compensation Fund, the detailed deputy said. the opposition Jacques Djoli, who has been appointed to speak.
Is it because of the difficulties that the unification of all tendencies, the Common Cash-Front for Congo (FCC) opposition with the five governors who govern this space, worked? “I believe that what a state does, or what a nation must do, is to want to live together, and it is imperative to meet the challenges of the economy, politics and societal imperatives. So in the face of these challenges, the interests of the people must be privileged, ”the opposition parliament added.
