According to the Order of Rejection of August 27, 2020 of the TC, consulted this Monday by Lusa, the initially called "Extraordinary Appeal for Violation" filed by PRA-JA Servir Angola instead of making up for shortcomings "demonstrates a clear intention to confuse the Constitutional".
The TC notes that the appeal of the Installing Committee of the Angolan Renaissance Party - Together for Angola - Servir Angola, with the acronym PRA-JA Servir Angola, which called Extraordinary for Violation "does not exist in the Angolan legal system" and in five days the said committee switched to "extraordinary appeal of unconstitutionality".
"The appellant should have perfected and corrected the application, lodging an appeal to the plenary regarding processes related to political parties and coalitions, provided for in the Constitutional Process Law (LPC), which did not do so," reads the order.
All the rest that is said in the petition now presented, the TC advances, demonstrates "a clear intention of the appellant, through its representative, to confuse this court, such is the ambiguous way in which it has woven all its legal-procedural exposition".
The Constitutional Court argues that in its new presentation PRA-JA Servir Angola "mixed procedural-constitutional issues with criminal and other issues of an enforceable nature".
In its reasoning, the TC refers, the appellant uses expressions totally out of context, such as "condemnatory effect", "adhesion sentence" and "nullify the judgment under appeal".
This is the third time that the Constitutional Court rejects an appeal from the Installation Commission of PRA-JA Servir Angola, with insufficient signatures for its legalization as one of the reasons.
The second lead of Abel Chivukuvuku's political project, which since November 2019 has been fighting for legalization, happened last July.
The judicial body also says in its new Order of Rejection that PRA-JA Servir Angola "besides failing to decipher its request and the cause of asking, with the request for improvement, has now made it unintelligible.
As the appellant has not "made up for the shortcomings" found in its initial application, by means of the improvement requested, adds the TC, "this Court has no choice but to trigger the legal consequences foreseen in the CPL.
"Thus, by virtue of the legal grounds stated above, the present application is rejected," concluded the order signed by the vice-president judge of the TC, Guilhermina Prata.
The legalization process of PRA-JÁ - Servir Angola has been in progress since November 2019, when the political formation sent 23,492 signatures to the court, 19,000 of which were rejected, with various justifications, including minority and lack of authenticity of residence certificates.
The new lead from TC to PRA-JÁ - Servir Angola is the reason for several comments on social networks, when militants and supporters of the project in Huíla province took to the streets in protest.
