The father of democracy is Patrice Lumumba, the first prime minister after our independence, who was assassinated under conditions that to this day nobody can clearly understand. So, for me, this title is not the most important thing. You can go down in history as the father of democracy, but you can also go down as the person who brought about chaos just by stepping down.

The constitution is very clear as to how and when the president hands over power. He can only hand power over to an elected successor.

What is the situation today? We have a united country. We have a single currency. We have managed to stabilize the economy, despite difficulties. We could talk all day about all those achievements.

I cannot interpret the constitution. Only the constitutional courts can interpret the constitution.

I believe that what's much more important is not what you say, but what you do. And I am a doer.

When Europe senses danger, it needs to do something to keep all the Africans at home where they belong.

We are not going to finance elections when we need to fight to win back occupied territory.
