Organization problems drag the fifth PRS congress into the second half

The leader of the Partido de Renovação Social (PRS) said this Tuesday, in Luanda, that the fifth congress, scheduled for this month, should only take place in the second half of the year, due to organizational issues.

Benedito Daniel rejected, in statements to Lusa, the existence of financial difficulties in holding the congress, attributing them to organizational problems.

“As you know, we left the elections and after the election we have to prepare the congress and the congress involves a lot of preparations, from financial to bureaucratic, but we have been working in the sense that this congress will be held, we believe that even in the second half of the year this year we will do it”, he said.

According to the leader of the third national political force, "preparations have been going well".

“As you know, all our congresses have been financed by our militants, it is the militants, sympathizers and friends who contribute to all the congresses that we hold and they have readily accepted, this contribution is being made and in an opportune moment the congress will be convened and done”, he stressed.

Questioned whether he will be a candidate for a new term as president of the PRS, Benedito Daniel advanced that he needs to meet the requirements to be established by the preparatory commission.

“I will only be able to say if I am a candidate after being approved. It all depends, this is not the time to say whether I will be a candidate or not, but everything will depend on when the congress is called”, he stressed.

The president of the PRS minimized internal criticism of the delay in calling the congress, acknowledging that his mandate ends this month, which does not mean “exactly that the congress should be held on the day the mandate ends”.

“These are bureaucratic issues and one more day, one less day, we don't think [there are] problems”, he stressed.

Before the congress, continued Benedito Daniel, two meetings will be held, one of the political council and the other of the national committee, which authorize the convening of the congress.

“Then we have two more preliminary meetings that approve the congress, and then we would effectively have communal, municipal and provincial conferences, and none of that has yet been done, so the financial involvement is huge”, he observed.

The PRS, founded in 1990, a party that defends federalism, reached the third position in the general elections of 24 August 2022, with 1.14% of the votes, and two deputies.
