La Cour constitutionnelle de la R\u00e9publique d\u00e9mocratique du Congo a approuv\u00e9 une loi r\u00e9f\u00e9rendaire controvers\u00e9e qui, selon ses d\u00e9tracteurs, pourrait permettre au pr\u00e9sident F\u00e9lix Tshisekedi de briguer un troisi\u00e8me mandat.<\/p>\n
Dans un arr\u00eat rendu public \u00e0 la t\u00e9l\u00e9vision d’\u00c9tat, la Cour a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que le projet de loi \u00e9tait conforme \u00e0 la Constitution. La loi autoriserait le pr\u00e9sident \u00e0 modifier la Constitution par le biais d’une assembl\u00e9e constituante, suivie d’un r\u00e9f\u00e9rendum, en cas de \u00ab dysfonctionnement majeur \u00bb des institutions de l’\u00c9tat.<\/p>\n
Cependant, les juges ont exprim\u00e9 des inqui\u00e9tudes quant aux dispositions qui permettraient au pr\u00e9sident de convoquer un r\u00e9f\u00e9rendum sur toute question jug\u00e9e d’importance \u00ab fondamentale \u00bb.<\/p>\n
Le projet de loi a \u00e9t\u00e9 adopt\u00e9 par le Parlement en juin, o\u00f9 la coalition du pr\u00e9sident Tshisekedi dispose d’une confortable majorit\u00e9. Il attend d\u00e9sormais la signature du pr\u00e9sident pour entrer en vigueur.<\/p>\n
Aux termes de la Constitution actuelle, le mandat pr\u00e9sidentiel est limit\u00e9 \u00e0 deux mandats de cinq ans, le second et dernier mandat de Tshisekedi devant s’achever en 2028. La Constitution stipule \u00e9galement que cette limitation du nombre de mandats pr\u00e9sidentiels est irr\u00e9vocable.<\/p>\n
Bien que Tshisekedi ait ni\u00e9 \u00e0 plusieurs reprises briguer un troisi\u00e8me mandat, il a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 en mai qu’il accepterait un nouveau mandat si le peuple congolais le lui demandait.<\/p>\n
L’opposition a vivement critiqu\u00e9 cette r\u00e9forme, arguant qu’elle pourrait porter atteinte aux garanties constitutionnelles. Ce d\u00e9bat intervient alors que le pays est confront\u00e9 \u00e0 des d\u00e9fis s\u00e9curitaires croissants, notamment la reprise des combats avec le groupe rebelle M23, soutenu par le Rwanda, dans l’est du pays, et une \u00e9pid\u00e9mie d’Ebola en expansion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
