The National Episcopal Conference of the Democratic Republic of Congo (CENCO) has voiced strong opposition to any modifications to the country’s constitution. This decision followed a three-day roundtable discussion concluded on June 20th. CENCO’s stance signals concern over potential attempts to alter the fundamental laws governing the nation. Details regarding the specific proposed changes prompting this opposition have not been released, but the Conference’s firm rejection indicates a significant development in Congolese politics. The move by the influential Catholic Church could galvanize further debate and resistance to constitutional reform efforts. This opposition adds another layer of complexity to the political landscape in the DRC, a country with a history of constitutional challenges. CENCO’s statement is expected to influence public and political discourse on the matter.
