The proposed law on “comfort” ignites the political debate in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Posted last week, the law could ban access to the presidency and other sovereign functions for people who do not have a Congolese father and mother. The coalition of former President Joseph Kabila considers it unconstitutional.
The Congolese Common Front (FCC) considered the proposed Congolese law “unconstitutional, inappropriate, discriminatory and conflicting.” According to the coalition of former President Joseph Kabila, this law undermines “the unity of the country” and risks “jeopardizing democratic gains”.
“This country has never been ruled by a foreigner. This is an issue that we consider to be quite inappropriate and that does not in any way strengthen the national cohesion of our country, which is an everyday construction and which does not have to suffer, at present, from any inclination. which led to the constitution currently governing us. There are already conditions that exist at the constitutional level, at the legal level, and which until today have never been a problem “, insisted Patrick Nkanga, PPRD’s political office, by Joseph Kabila.
