Africa-Press – Cape verde. Minister Janine Lélis stated today in the National Assembly that the session considered the closing of the legislature was marked by “an intense moment of political debate,” arguing, however, that it should not be understood as the last parliamentary meeting.
In her speech, the minister explained, according to Inforpress, that, from her point of view, “there is nothing in the law that prevents or determines” this from being the last session, while respecting opposing positions.
Even so, Janine Lélis stressed that the most important thing is the meaning of public service, emphasizing that “there is no farewell in public service,” since mandates end, but the commitment to the country must remain.
According to the minister, the exercise of public functions should not be seen as something transitory, but rather as “a permanent commitment to the collective interest,” which can take different forms over time.
The governor also stated that the work carried out by the deputies does not end with the end of the legislature, remaining “in the laws approved, the institutions strengthened and the democratic culture” built over the years.
In this sense, she considered that the contribution of the parliamentarians goes beyond the period of their respective mandates, and therefore it is necessary to recognize, “with a sense of institutional justice,” the commitment, dedication and spirit of public service demonstrated, according to the source of this newspaper.
