The general coordinator of the FPU and president of UNITA, Adalberto da Costa Júnior, congratulated the inducted members on the occasion, noting that they had been entrusted with the mission for alternation in the next elections.
The attitude of the media, "especially public, which must open up a little more, the approach to elections in a party environment must not fail to be an element of education and didactics on a daily basis", he stressed.
"No to violence, no to accelerated and aggressive speeches, there is no strict need to do so, but we also understand that the long period of governance led to the assumption of many vices and a lot of resistance", stressed the politician.
"It is time for Angola to embrace a fundamental assumption for us to be a democracy, which is political alternation", maintained Adalberto da Costa Júnior, reiterating the need for registered citizens to previously consult the electoral roll.
