(Forumdesas) The Parliamentary Opposition will not wait long to draw. Two weeks after the opening of Parliament in March, the "elephants" of the Opposition to take chorus are lashing out at the Majority.
the pretext of the recent institutional meeting presided over two stages, respectively, by Joseph Kabila Saturday, March 20 last Kingakati, and Leon Kengo wa Dondo Saturday, March 27 at the People's Palace, the headliners of the Parliamentary Opposition - National Assembly and Senate - rebelled against what they see as a trend towards the formalization of this informal forum.
More fundamentally, critics condemn "the insidious attempt to intentionally violate the spirit and letter of the Constitution." This is particularly the provision that deals with the number and duration of office of President of the republic. The tenors of the Opposition MPs suspect the heads of constitutional bodies want to initiate a constitutional revision in relation to this matter immutable.
Towards a parliamentary session hot
It will be understood, the current parliamentary session promises to be very hot. Very hot. A little more than a year of the quinquennium, the masks begin to fall, the hidden agendas of each other are revealed in broad daylight.
In particular, the issue of constitutional reform, the opposition and the majority do not seem to have the same understanding. The first wants to limit the editing the Basic Law only to technical matters such as territorial division, while the second would expand the scope of this constitutional amendment.
Some observers even lend authority intends to revisit section 220 in relation to the length of the number of mandates of the Head of State. Still, the balance of power in both houses of parliament will be decisive in future battles between the majority and the opposition. In any case, it is already on a war footing. Fda
