In one or another corner of the city, there is no talk of anything other than today&#8217;s mass political act, to which the party&#8217;s mobilizing machine expects to bring tens of thousands of militants, friends and sympathizers, from the 16 municipalities of the province.<\/p>\n<p>Jo\u00e3o Louren\u00e7o met, upon arrival, with the party&#8217;s leadership in the province, from which he received detailed explanations about the functioning of the party structures at various levels, above all, the way they prepare to face the upcoming election.<\/p>\n<p>The second secretary of the MPLA in U\u00edge, Pedro Conga, said that in terms of organization and mobilization of militants for the act, there were no constraints, noting that sufficient means of transport and logistics were mobilized, above all, for the activists from distant municipalities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have no constraints, either from the point of view of mobilization or organization. Our leader is welcome to the province&#8221;, declared the very expectant politician.<\/p>\n<p>Young people bet on continuity<\/p>\n<p>As part of the election on the 24th of this month, the Jornal de Angola report heard yesterday from some young people from the city of U\u00edge, about what they think of the great party of democracy. The majority said they preferred to vote for continuity (in the MPLA), arguing that it is the party that guarantees greater security to avoid the interruption of the various economic and social projects underway throughout the national territory.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Voting for the MPLA will be the right thing for me&#8221;, said Ant\u00f3nio Segunda, a high school student in the city of U\u00edge, adding that &#8220;giving the vote to another party would be the same as tearing down all the projects underway in the province planned by the current Executive\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Catarina Dorivalda Rafael, 24, a civil servant, also shares the same idea, stressing that &#8220;the vote in these elections is reserved for the MPLA and its leader&#8221;. &#8220;Of all the competing parties, I still consider the MPLA, which best structure it presents to govern Angola from Cabinda to Cunene\u201d, said the young woman.<\/p>\n<p>Anacleto Domingos, 19, a street vendor at the U\u00edge Municipal Market, said that after listening to the campaign speeches of the different candidates for the 2022 General Elections, the messages that so far convince him the most are from the leader of the MPLA, as they are &#8220;the most realistic&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some candidates are just making promises they know they won&#8217;t keep&#8221;, said Anacleto Domingos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/angola\">Angola<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Angola.
