Speaking on the sidelines of the end-of-year greeting ceremony at the National Assembly, the MPLA leader made it known that most of the municipal legislative package had already been approved in the hemicycle.
“There are some complementary laws missing and I am convinced that, next time, we will deal with these matters so that we can complete the entire legislative package and complementary laws, so that we can, effectively, have local elections in the country”, he expressed.
Among the achievements of the legislative branch during the year, the deputy also highlighted the approval of the General State Budget Proposal (OGE for the 2024 fiscal year, considering it a clear sign that legislators are thinking about the representatives who elected them.
“Each diploma we approve, obviously we have to think about those representatives who trusted us to be here”, he stressed.
Luisa Damião considered the O
General State as an important instrument of governance, for those who cannot govern without a document.
“We noticed a certain commitment from the deputies who have done their best so that we have diplomas with that ability to always think about solving citizens’ problems”, he emphasized.
On the other hand, the president of UNITA, Adalberto da Costa Júnior, defended the need for local authorities to be created in 2024.
The politician accused the authorities of allegedly delaying this constitutional aim.
For him, with each year that passes without local power, ‘we lose what local power can bring to any country, which is citizenship, rights and the capacity for proximity between those who govern and those who are governed”. DC/VIC
