Among the motivations that lead the 46-year-old Portuguese-Angolan woman to want to participate in the Portuguese elections is the fact that she thinks it is "time to bring a new perspective and approach to politics".
According to Ossanda Liber, her aim is to give a "voice" to those who "feel underrepresented and who cannot find political solutions to their concerns".
"I understood that it was time to bring a new perspective and approach to politics. I intend to be the voice of those who feel underrepresented and who cannot find political solutions to concerns, they are the Portuguese of African origin, like me, the conservatives, entrepreneurs, and all those who love the country and, like me, are distressed by the situation of decadence in which the country has been placed", she said, speaking to Jornal de Angola.
Therefore, in order to achieve this intention, the Portuguese-Angolan woman is trying to legalize the New Right Movement, created by her, before the Constitutional Court.
However, this process has not been easy. Ossanda Liber saw the legalization request initially rejected due to invalid signatures. "After we resolved the signature issue, the same court expressed objections to the statutes we presented," she said.
"In response, we presented new statutes that were drafted to meet the court's demands. When we were waiting for the party's registration ruling, the court surprised us with a new rejection because, according to the judge, it had identified new problems", she added , cited by Jornal de Angola.
From the assessment carried out to the court's latest impositions, the Portuguese-Angolan woman says she considers that, in comparison to the statutes of other parties, these were not imposed on other Portuguese political institutions, speaking of discrimination. "We are being discriminated against, but I don't know the court's motivations. I hope I never find out, because I have faith that the court will do what it has to do and legalize the party in time to participate in the legislative elections", she stated, adding that they have no no option but to change the statutes again in the hope that the court will legalize the party.
Among other aspects, Ossanda Liber considered that she was still making history: "I'm making history, not as a candidate, as there have been others, but because I am, certainly, the first Afro-descendant woman to create a political party in Portugal and, most likely, throughout the Western world", he said, speaking to Jornal de Angola.
