"It is forbidden to put the handcuffs on the words."

Worryingly the news published by the Africa Intelligence Monitor in issue number 692 of September 11, 2012 (also published in the Official Savannah on September 13, 2012), who realizes that Edson Macuacua, Secretary for Mobilisation and Propaganda Frelimo promoted recently at the headquarters of the Central Committee in Maputo, a meeting with staff journalists and commentators, aka panelists, the main organs of Social Communication (OCS) Public and Private in order to toughen action against the regime of work of the CST.

According to the Africa Monitor Intelligence Edson Macuacua main speaker of the meeting stated:

"- Abound in OCS criticism of Frelimo, you have to temper or alter this evidence, through measures of responsible editorial.

- There are municipal elections in 2013 and general in 2014, to ensure a victory for Frelimo is necessary to promote a climate of rapprochement with the party's electorate and population, and the criticisms of Frelimo disfavor this desideratum.

- Those that do not proceed in accordance with the creation of a more benign climate for Frelimo could be jeopardizing their seats, "because Frelimo has that power" (sic). "

This method demonstrated by Frelimo Machiavellian represented by Edson Macuacua and assisted by Renato Matusse, Gabriel and Muthisse Nkutumula (members present at the meeting) reveals a culture anti-democratic, anti-constitutional, hopelessness, intolerance and lack of boundaries and party State (which we all participate and pay taxes and as such it is not owned by any political party). There is talk now of freedom of expression in various sectors of society, is indeed a universal human right, which must run in the family, church, school, finally, on all other public spaces, then there is no reason that in the XXI century there citizens in Mozambique who want to destroy what little we have achieved in Mozambique in terms of freedom of expression. Today the concern is to silence the OCS, my fear is that this culture evolve tomorrow and begin to silence intellectuals in universities, in churches and other religious spaces that work with the public, in fact it is a phenomenon that has already been occurring because the regime considers itself the owner of the organs of state and public. The period of totalitarianism, fascism, Nazism, Marxism and state corporatism has passed in the history of the world. It seems there are still nostalgic these days. It is necessary that these citizens not to forget that culture corporatist state always brought negative consequences to the world with the death of thousands of people. Can mute people to speak, but can never silence the ability to think and express their thoughts in other forums. Individuals wishing to regress the country as freedom of expression are slated to enter as villains in the history of the country, moreover, there is a popular saying: "prescribes the justice of men, but justice in history it is permanent," to name these demagogues citizens have their place in history. The world is full of reports of adverse effects of silencing the press. Just look at the case of Syria, Tunisia, Libya, China, just to name a few. Let journalists and commentators do their job. Have fear of criticism is synonymous with insecurity, despair and spiritual weakness, the contrary should we stimulate and exploit the criticism to improve our work performance. The country's development depends on these analyzes and critiques (understood as debates of ideas) because only then can we see our shortcomings and failures and through dialogue and tolerance we promote more effective action to the desired development. Does Edson Macuacua dome and is aware of what they are committing mistake?

Finally I would like to recall the famous phrase that gave title to the book alludes to the death of Carlos Cardoso "it is forbidden to put the handcuffs on the words." This phrase this very clear memory of Mozambicans.
