Electoral victory

The warmongers directors of President The Head of State whose image, especially in the last five years has been heavily battered by harsh criticism and accusations of systematic violation of the rules of good governance in a democratic rule of law; the establishment of an autocratic regime and clientele, in fact; the use of public office entrusted to him to enrich himself, the enrichment of members of their own family and strengthening its influence in government and in the party itself; whom the national and international public opinion imputes greater responsibility for the return to a state of civil war, after twenty years of peace, of course, citizens expected their advisers to help him open a path of political compromise that constringisse your Government and the largest opposition party - Renamo - to sign a peace agreement and open avenues for fair and transparent general election on 15 October. To everyone's surprise, the directors of State - judging at least from the results - increased fuel to the fire. Whereas the agenda (publicly announced) the Fourth Session of the State Council of 7th July was the "assessment of the political and military situation affecting the country," the waiver of immunity spokesman Renamo leader and member State Council, António Muchanga, and his subsequent arrest outside the meeting, makes you think the rest of the directors has recommended that President Guebuza to end the civil war was enough to Jail spokesman of his political opponent, Afonso Dhlakama . If so, or should we conclude that the component members of the State Council are not sufficiently wise and thoughtful, capable of providing good and timely advice to the Head of State, or should we conclude that this institution (the State Council) - alongside many other political institutions such as the Mozambican National Assembly (RA), the Constitutional Council (CC), the Attorney General's Office (PGR), the Central Office for Combating Corruption (GCCC), etc. - its main function (although not confessed) is that of giving legitimacy to authoritarian designs Armando Guebuza and the most influential members of his party. In fact, according to article 15 of Law No. 5/2005, of 1 December, which regulates the organization of the State Council and sets the status of its members, "no member of the Council of State may be detained or arrested without the authorization Council ... ", which leads to the conclusion that the decision to halt the spokesman Renamo leader was taken independently of any idea of ​​a meeting of the State Council and to legitimize it was then called the IV session. Counselors in this case were literally exploited to give legitimacy to kidnap spokesman Dhlakama plan. Well, in a democratic nation, where every political institution boasts of a certain autonomy and independence from the executive, on the publicly lie propagated by a Head of State announced that as of the fourth session of the State Council agenda "assessment of the situation and military policy that live in the country, "when the real intention was inadvertently kidnap one of the Board members, the minimum that the board members could (should?) have done was to leave the bulk of the meeting room, asking the president to schedule another session to address is the issue of lifting the immunity Muchanga. 

This time, however, the absolutist maneuvers of President Guebuza, or their mere recklessness or incompetence in the management of the crucial problem of the Mozambican nation can have disastrous consequences for the country and, therefore, the need to pay special attention on the part of citizens. Therefore, doing a reading between the lines, stopping Antonio Muchanga for inciting violence, Armando Guebuza simultaneously plow their own condemnation. Indeed, throughout his administration, Guebuza, not only incited violence, but systematically inflicted political-administrative violence to citizens and allowed members of your circuit and officials of various institutional levels inflict harsh political-administrative violence to citizens . So if, for having incited violence, the appropriate place is the prison Muchanga, the proper place of those who use political power entrusted to him to systematically inflicting violence to his people is there where is Mr Muchanga. The options left to Mozambicans are confined to two: either get rid of Guebuza, as soon as possible, or to meet their own self-destruction as a political entity ruled by a democratic right. The second alternative - political chaos - is favorable to Plan B Guebuza. When he realized that the idea of ​​continuing in office as President after two terms granted by the Constitution, was harassed by members of his own party, his preference for a successor, although it may protect the interests of Guebuza family, does not ensure electoral victory, led him to adopt the plan is to promote chaos to make the elections are conducted only in constituencies where Frelimo is more likely to collect most votes. Renamo has publicly appeared saying that (but poorly drafted) President Guebuza Machiavellian gesture "would further complicate the political situation to which Mozambique is layered." Was it not necessary that the Renamo to say it was realized that the measure taken by Guebuza was politically incorrect and strategically disastrous: it is clear that although peripheral points agreed at the negotiating table in the center "Joaquim Chissano" are compromised, and the meeting Guebuza / Dhlakam that seemed to be brief and, for many, such a meeting would mark the end of hostilities, was postponed sine DATEE it is most likely that in the coming days if a watch escalation of violence. The political violence that, until now, was inflicted to most Mozambicans, through the use of political power for private purposes was, anyway, manageable state of peace that allowed developing several able to ensure their own survival activities. The radicalization of the state of war - sought by the president - while increasing the grieving families in Mozambique, reduce the possibility of developing self underpinning those populations which have always been abandoned to their fate by the Frelimo government activities. The waiver of immunity and the subsequent arrest of the spokesman of the Renamo president within a session of the State Council and the premises of the Presidency of the Republic, may also be a pre-announcement of the extension of the battlefields and the brigades death: enlargement of forests and EN1 to cities and extending the military field to the calendar field. In fact, it was Muchanga the presidency as state councilor and came out prisoner, the Renamo deputies may one day get ca House of Commons as Members of RA and out of there as prisoners or as corpses to be accompanied to the cemetery. Therefore, as a matter of attribution is vague:. "Incitement to violence" "incitement to violence" means any citizen may, in the coming days, penitentiaries cells to be collected for any action to be considered part of the category's zealous members and supporters of the ruling party, may with impunity form of death squads and conduct mass executions or other atrocities in their own residential neighborhoods or villages, in the name of defense against "incitement to violence." in the veterinary field, an angry dog (angry) is automatically eliminated. In his famous Treaty II Government, the English philosopher, John Locke argues that the monarch who, using political power entrusted to him to put himself in a position opposed to citizens who rely power, therefore ceases to be king and like a wild animal that is slaughtered to protect the human race to which constitutes a hazard, the monarch can be eliminated, without thereby being committed a crime of regicide. In contemporary democracies, one dead, incompetent and incapable of promoting appropriate solutions to the key problems of the country government is constrained to resign. (Alfredo Manhiça)
