The first speech by Félix Tshisekedi on the state of the nation was welcomed by the Allied camp, the Front commun pour le Congo (FCC) by Joseph Kabila, but the opposition - urged by the president to have a speech - was critical.

2h34 minutes of speech , 40 pages read by the president before the Congress and listened to carefully by the opposition. Adolphe Muzito, current coordinator of the main opposition platform, Lamuka, first has criticisms to formulate on the form: " It was hollow, it was empty, his speech is not coherent. He still makes promises when he has just made a year of power, he must account for the year he is finishing with a budget deficit. There is amateurism at the top of the state. "

As for the substance, the former Prime Minister believes that “ he has deceived the Congolese people with monster achievements that no one sees on the ground. It conceals the real crisis in the east of the country ; we do not have the impression that he will do what he promises because he does not have the financial means to do so. It has a very small budget : out of ten billion [announced in the 2020 budget ], it can only mobilize five billion. "

In the ranks of the pro-Kabila FCC, we are content to welcome a rather reassuring speech for the government coalition that was said to be at loggerheads. “ It is a speech imbued with intelligence and wisdom. His tribute to Honorary President Joseph Kabila, who is in fact our moral authority, is eloquent proof of his commitment to the consolidation of the FCC-Cach coalition, which he himself considers as a guarantee of the stability of the Republic, "said Constant Mutamba. , president of one of the FCC groups.

There are two points on which the pro-Kabila coalition refrains from commenting: the advisability of reviewing the voting methods for the elections of governors and the president, voting methods that had previously benefited the former president .
