Position of the parties

The leader of the MPLA Parliamentary bench, Américo Cuononoca, said that the items on the agenda are the same as those that were postponed in March, due to the guidelines that emerged because of the covid-19 pandemic, which prohibits clusters of more than 50 people.

 

He stated that the deputies will analyse, in three days, from 9 am to 1 pm, the 16 points on the agenda, respecting the rules imposed for the prevention of the pandemic.

 

On his turn, the deputy whip of the main opposition party, UNITA, Maurilio Luyele, spoke in favour of the agenda of the plenary, having said that this meeting represents the resumption of the March plenary session that was suspended due to covid-19.

 

CASA- CE against taxes

Meanwhile, the whip of the CASA-CE coalition, Alexandre André, expressed his opposition to the discussion of the financial package, because the country is experiencing a period of State of Emergency and soon the business sector is paralyzed.

 

In the opinion of the parliamentarian, when this point was listed, the country was not in this period of exception, but with the decree on the State of Emergency, production was also confined.

 

This position was shared by Lucas Ngonda, from FNLA party, who called on the Executive to take measures to support the business industry during this period of emergency.
