Delegates on the list, mainly from the National Patriotic Alliance (APN), National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA), Social Renewal Party (PRS) and Broad Convergence for the Salvation of Angola – Electoral Coalition (CASA-CE), demand payment of the their allowances after working in the August 24 general elections.
The protests are mainly registered in Luanda, where this Wednesday the national headquarters of CASA-CE, in the center of the capital, was vandalized by the list delegates demanding the payment of their subsidies.
The PGR said it was aware of the successive manifestations of discontent, accompanied by acts of vandalism by citizens who served as delegates on the list of polling stations, assigned to some parties.
According to the PGR, some disgruntled citizens have lodged a complaint with the Criminal Investigation Service and the Public Prosecutor's Office and "investigative procedures have been opened to investigate the nature and responsibility of the acts carried out by the various actors".
Considering the dimension and "the negative impact on public order" of the behavior, the PGR "warns the protesters that they must use the legal mechanisms available to claim their legitimate rights".
"Under penalty of liability for the various crimes likely to be committed in these violent demonstrations", the note reads.
The fiscal body of legality also warned those responsible for political parties to "assume responsibly" the commitments arising from their electoral campaign, "taking into account that non-compliance could lead to various kinds of responsibilities".
"Still in this context, it is important to remind political parties that they have the obligation to report to the competent State bodies on the regular use of public financial resources granted to support the electoral campaign", the note also refers.
Protests by list delegates have already contributed to the arrest of some protesters in the last week.
