Post-official communication reflections of the Official Results of the October 2024 Elections

At 4:30 p.m. on December 23, 2024, 75 days after the official elections on October 9, the President Judge of the C.C., whose name I do not want to mention, having been erased from my memory immediately and forever, gave a speech, of a "judicial" nature, going through all the steps taken for a deep analysis and considered by her to be true,  in order to ensure that the results to be pronounced were legitimate, true and accepted by all.

He began his speech at 3:00 p.m. as scheduled, with descriptions of the powers conferred on him by the Constitution... without mentioning his Party, without mentioning the deaths caused by the bad and filthy conduct of the elections, showing that the analysis carried out respected all the legislation in force in the country and that therefore it was his duty to deepen the whole process, including all the complaints received and, thus showing that his analysis would be really fair, carried out together with his collaborators.

He justified everything, the misdeeds committed by his Party in the act of voting, invalidated the analyses and inconsistencies presented by his opponents, and pronounced the final result giving the victory to the Candidate of his party and annulling all the strength and determination of the Opposition, which at the time remained silent, only out of respect, the same sense and being aware that the pronouncement was completely opposed to the ELECTORAL TRUTH!

Goodbye Justice and impartiality on the part of the Judges, who should always be on top of the parties!

Even brazen... and he delivered his speech for two and a half hours, without stopping, without drinking a sip of water that his assistant had given him in a thoughtful way, reaching the end of the whole pronouncement, obscuring all the truth that is notoriously known to all.

With the full stop, he left, without greeting anyone, and disappeared.

BUT

- How can a human being, a qualified person with so much political and social experience, lower himself so much, becoming a puppet of a party in power, declaring the complete opposite of the real electoral process?

- How can a human being, in the face of statements from all over the world, from all of Mozambican Civil Society, declare that the process was clear and that the small flaws found in the Process were considered almost nil?

- How can a human being, aware of his responsibility, and before the entire movement of the people that in all parts of the country demonstrate against the party's super-long power, for 30 years... in the face of so many innocent deaths in the day to day of the demonstrations, in the face of the Government's inability to interfere with what the People demand...proclaim something absurd?

I feel that she has lost the sense of her responsibility and with her the whole group of the C.C. that has lost all its face and responsibility... and has become NOTHING of NOTHING in our society.

Disappeared.. and they will disappear forever.

And with them, all the others who they justified as winners will disappear!

The New Path Mozambique Has Chosen... I see that there is no return, it cannot be obliterated by ghosts that no longer have power.

They lost all the esteem accumulated after the Liberation Struggle!

I remember that, one day talking to Samora and his comrades, I remembered how much had happened with the liberation struggle in CHILE... There were friendly cooperators in Mozambique and with them we collaborated with the newly constituted government. In Chile, the resistance had in its program the following principle: Once freedom is conquered and once the country is free from the Dictatorship.... all the guerrillas would withdraw from the political scene... leaving the politicians chosen by the People and with knowledge as capable, to Govern the new Nation. And so it was for Chile and so the country grew in a democratic way and became rich.

For Mozambique, however, the conquest of power grows more and more and progressively... the ideals of the Revolution were forgotten and power opened the door to personal enrichment... And that ruined everything, even declaring that we are a democratic country... An illusion!

BUT, now it's time to rebuild... And I feel that we have the capacity for this.

Hope is strong and we must all collaborate.
