«The message that João Lourenço will address to Angolans precedes the solemn plenary meeting to open the parliamentary year, which corresponds to the 5th legislative session of the 4th legislature.
The President is expected to speak at approximately 12:30 pm.
Last year, the chief executive's speech was marked by the postponement of the local authorities and the asset recovery program that the State has been carrying out in the scope of the fight against corruption, which has been its main banner.
The economic crisis that the country is experiencing, the accelerating number of cases of covid-19 and political tensions with the main party, the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), have marked the current situation in recent days.
