Between loves and reticence

Mozambique will witness, in the general election this year, a historical fact. The Frelimo party will be the main defeated. This trend of negative election results reached the escalation in útimas municipal elections held late last year, and has been giving objectives to be able to come to increase in the next 15 October election signs.

Some factors can be directly linked to this undeniable conclusion. As you probably already know, in addition to the chronic characteristic of popular discontent and anti-frelimista feeling the second term of governance Armando Guebuza, highlights the increasingly growing sense of identity, sympathy and adherence to massive popular opposition parties (particularly MDM and lately Renamo). Frelimo even benefiting disproportionately from a clearly grounded machine canvass goods, funding and resources for themselves kidnapped along its nearly 40 years of full control of the Mozambican state, has been at the same level and in some cases , far below the main opposition parties, as to convince and mobilize the electorate.

Indeed, Frelimo has controlled and influenced the spread of electoral propaganda in its favor, the arrogant and blatantly, the main organs of public media, such as TVM, Radio Mozambique or newspapers and Sunday News. Frelimo has used, directly or indirectly, and state fuel vehicles in their campaigns. Many of the cars used by its members can not bear the registration number of the State but are allocated to its directors and officers for personal use while holding positions of management and leadership, or as part of their work activities. Given the institutional weakness characteristic of the state apparatus as the surveillance and security of their strictly professional use, many of them have been diverted to purposes foreign to its activities and is integrated into all major caravans, across the country, parading their shameless arrogance and ostentation the Frelimo party in the eyes of a large majority of hungry people living in conditions of acute generalized precariousness. 

This show of wealth and pomposity, done by people who are obliged to show gratitude for the privileges and dividends offered by governance Guebuza, has served as an example, the most attentive citizens, that the members and supporters of the Frelimo party that is exclusively has been benefiting from the alleged national development over all these years. If they were not the only previlegiados in access to wealth and opportunity, they would not be showing the full extent of the national territory and fed clairvoyant symbols of financial strength and material, in their election campaigns. 

Already must have also seen the enormous human frame which has adhered to the main opposition party campaigns. Dhlakama has been the presidential candidate who has led more people to their rallies. Simango too. Although they do not have the numerous means and resources that Frelimo pompously uses (such as caravans of cars and motorbikes luxurious, flyers, posters, flags, food, etc.) and which tries to buy loyalty, sympathy and vote of the people, the people systematically tortured, harassed, segregated and impoverished has given tangible samples and determined to break with the historical lies of Frelimo and has adhered massively to the reawakening of hope for a radical change of the state of things Dhlakama Simango or embody, under the baton of their respective parties.

The people know who eats Camisetes and capulanas. The people know that those spaces on television, radio and newspapers where public comment only those who speak well of Guebuza and Frelimo not demoverá its belief change. You, who are also people, not you see yourself in these luxury caravans that pass Frelimo side of your poverty by in Pregnant theatrical shows of falsehoods and lying that trust Nyusi. Because you do not trust Nyusi anything. You just trust in the power of change and the BASTA that your vote will shout on 15 October. (L.Pensador / Facebook)
