El ATM celebra la creación de una comisión de juicio político sobre Phala Phala

El African Transformation Movement ha recibido con satisfacción la decisión de la presidenta de la Asamblea Nacional de establecer una comisión de juicio político para el presidente Cyril Ramaphosa tras el fallo del Tribunal Constitucional del pasado viernes.

La comisión se deriva de una orden judicial que exige que el Parlamento permita al presidente responder a las pruebas sobre la moneda extranjera robada en su granja de Phala Phala en 2020. El portavoz del ATM, Zama Ntshona, describió la medida como un paso constitucional importante, pero instó a que el proceso se lleve a cabo con integridad, imparcialidad e independencia. COSATU ha rechazado la composición de la comisión, formada por 31 miembros procedentes de los 18 partidos. El coordinador parlamentario, Matthew Parks, señaló que la asignación otorga al African National Congress solo nueve escaños en lugar de los 12 que le corresponden según su cuota del 40 por ciento de los escaños tras las elecciones de 2024. Durante una tensa sesión de preguntas y respuestas en la Asamblea Nacional el jueves, los diputados de la oposición del MKP, el EFF y el ATM protagonizaron un abandono de la sesión y calificaron a Ramaphosa de delincuente constitucional a raíz del fallo judicial.
