For Angola's second largest political force, the plan reveals "the MPLA's unpreparedness for healthy political competition, in a democratic environment and its attachment to power, by means not provided for in the Constitution of the Republic, through the subversion of State institutions, as is the case with the National Electoral Commission, the courts and political and electoral corruption ".

"The Standing Committee concludes that the acts of political intolerance that often occur across the country against citizens critical of the regime and now reinforced with the intention of triggering unethical actions against President Adalberto Costa Júnior, are also revealing of the MPLA's dictatorial and exclusive character" , referred to in the document.
Such acts, for the largest opposition party, also indicate the MPLA's despair at the growing awareness of citizens aggravated by the country's bad governance since 1975 by the same party.
"The Standing Committee urges militants, sympathizers, friends and Angolan citizens in general, to remain serene, vigilant and not to respond to the provocations in the face of the maneuvers of those who have always resorted to violence to perpetuate themselves in power", emphasizes in the note.
