Treasurer Mwaka contested the statements made by the General Director of the ARSP, Ted BELESHAYI, during a Space Live event hosted by journalist Stanis BUJAKERA on October 20, 2026. He defended the record of his predecessor, Miguel KASHAL KATEMB, and requested Ted BELESHAYI to publish the elements supporting his accusations. According to Mwaka, no salary arrears had been recorded during the 3 years and 8 months of Miguel KASHAL KATEMB's management, and the staff had benefited from medical coverage. He disputed the figure of 80 attestations put forward by the General Director, claiming that their numbering had increased from 4,100 in January 2023 to 16,800 in February 2026. The number of eligible subcontracting companies, according to him, had grown from 4,000 in 2023 to more than 16,000 in January 2026. Mwaka also attributed to the ARSP, under the leadership of Miguel KASHAL KATEMB, a contribution to the development of the local content law, the revision of the subcontracting law, the strengthening of market transparency, and the fight against front companies. He indicated that the institution had expanded its activities to hydrocarbons, aviation, and telecommunications. He recalled that in June 2025, Minister Louis WATUM KABAMBA mentioned nearly 1,400 contracts awarded to Congolese companies, amounting to over 2 billion dollars, benefiting around 800 entrepreneurs. Mwaka asked Ted BELESHAYI to publish the names of the companies involved and the data justifying his claim that 20 billion dollars had been paid to ineligible companies. He also mentioned the VUNGA 1 program, developed with RAWBANK, which he claimed provided 200 million dollars in funding for local entrepreneurs, with the prospect of reaching one billion dollars in subsequent phases. Finally, Mwaka stated that Miguel KASHAL KATEMB did not make his predecessor a public target when he took over the ARSP in 2022. He called on the current General Director to prioritize work, transparency, and continuity of public service for the benefit of Congolese entrepreneurs. #ARSP #Transparence #EntrepreneuriatCongolais (translated)

Vautrin believed that debt should occupy a central place in the upcoming presidential election. He warned that France risked, in his view, gradually losing its sovereignty and that capital holders could buy its assets. He criticized the left for ignoring the issue and denying the existence of a problem. He criticized Pigasse's publications on debt, which Thomas Porcher would have approved, as well as left-wing economists invited on television, particularly Thomas Piketty and Gabriel Zucman. Vautrin accused this political current of being unable to defend responsible management of public finances without calling into question its redistribution model. He also recalled a phrase attributed to Margaret Thatcher about the lack of money from others that socialism, according to her, would lead to. On the right, he perceived a gradual awareness of the problem, which he considered insufficient. He viewed the most likely scenario as a crisis followed by drastic cuts in spending. These cuts risked, in his opinion, being poorly understood by a population used to public money for over 40 years, exacerbating unrest and trapping the country in a difficult cycle. #Dette #ÉlectionPrésidentielle #Souveraineté (translated)

AlertesInfos reported that public law professor Paul Cassia believed that Emmanuel Macron's statements on the prohibition of demonstrations not organized by unions seriously and manifestly illegally infringed on the freedom to demonstrate. He also accused the president of stepping outside his constitutional role, reminding that he was neither the Minister of the Interior nor the Prefect. Public law professor Serge Slama also characterized these remarks as an infringement on freedoms. He reminded that demonstrating was a fundamental freedom that did not require prior authorization, only a declaration to the authorities, and that a prohibition could only be pronounced exceptionally, especially in cases of risk of public disorder. #liberté #manifestation #Macron (translated)
