Union centrals and the Government had, this Wednesday, a new meeting that ended without agreement, with a general strike being called for March 20th that will take place in an interpolated manner.
Less State, better State and more citizenship, less party democracy are the powerful ideas of the statement by the Executive Secretariat of the Standing Committee of the Political Commission of UNITA in reference to its 58th anniversary, celebrated on March 13th.
The largest opposition party considers that the country's political-administrative division, with an increase in the number of provinces, "is a tricky way to escape local authorities" and is committed to fighting poverty and corruption.
Regarding its historical liabilities, after a civil war lasting more than 30 years, UNITA says that the current President, Adalberto Costa Júnior, will "preside over a new step in this process", continuing what was assumed before other leaders who asked apologies to the Angolan people.
The National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) says that the party was born in a "spirit of unity" and that its founders "are Angolan patriots who fought for the inclusive participation of all Angolans in the struggle for national independence".
And they highlight that UNITA, under the leadership of Jonas Savimbi, who died in 2002, contributed qualitatively to the achievement of National Independence from the Portuguese colonial yoke in 1975, and the institutionalization, in Angola, of the Democratic Rule of Law in 1991.
The statement also makes reference to the leadership of Adalberto Costa Júnior, highlighting that UNITA has experienced "a tremendous hate campaign on the part of the regime", even leading to the annulment of the congress with subsequent re-election.
It is also mentioned that Adalberto Costa Júnior led to the formation of the United Patriotic Front, with other opposition political forces, having emerged victorious in the 2022 elections. "However, the election organization and arbitration bodies, CNE and the Constitutional Court, denied give him this victory", he argued.
