The Liberia Political Centrism Movement (LPCM) extends commendation to the Government of Liberia for its demonstrated commitment to human rights and the rule of law by permitting the mass protest organized by STAND on July 17, 2025. The governmentโs exercise of restraint and its respect for the constitutional rights of citizens to freely assemble and express dissent-without resorting to intimidation or excessive force-reflects positively on Liberiaโs evolving democratic credentials.
We also wish to acknowledge and commend STAND and its leadership for conducting their protest in a peaceful and law-abiding manner. In a nation where civic engagement is vital to strengthening governance and accountability, the ability of citizens to raise concerns through non-violent means is not only constitutionally protected but essential to participatory democracy.
The LPCM, as a non-partisan centrist political action platform, remains committed to fostering dialogue, consensus-building, and principled engagement. We look forward to engaging both the Government of Liberia and STAND to mediate, listen, and explore viable, balanced, and homegrown solutions to the governance, corruption, and service delivery concerns raised.
Liberiaโs challenges are not insurmountable when addressed in a spirit of national unity, constructive dialogue, and respect for democratic norms. LPCM stands ready to play its part in this national effort.
