Africa-Press – Cape verde. The secretary general of the National Union of Workers of Cape Verde, Trade Union Central (UNTC-CS), Joaquina Almeida, was re-elected today for a second term of five years, with 92% of votes cast, at the organization’s VIII Congress.
Num universo de 76 votantes, que tomaram parte do VIII Congresso desta Central Sindical, realizado esta quarta-feira, no Centro de Convenções da UNICV, sob o lema “União, Solidariedade e Trabalho Digno”, a secretária-geral foi reeleita com 70 votos favoráveis, quatro não, uma abstenção e um voto em branco.
As for the bodies of the National Council, Audit and Accounts Council and Discipline Council, of the 76 votes cast, 69 were yes, four were no, two abstentions and one blank vote.
Happiness
To the press, Joaquina Almeida expressed her joy at the victory, as she considered that the objective had been achieved, and made a point of “asking people to respect the workers because they decided and it is decided”, and promises to “try again to conquer the long-awaited union”. ”.
Apontou a união da classe como um dos grandes objectivos para os próximos cinco anos, argumentando que na gestão transacta praticamente a UNTC-CS não conseguiu fazer nada face às denegações de um grupo de contestatários, com “prejuízos para os trabalhadores”.
“It wasn’t Joaquina’s victory, but the victory of the Workers, the unionists, the unions, with 92%. I even thought it would be a little lower, but we have to live with the differences and, basically, we are satisfied with the result”, said Almeida, who promises to bring the workers back, based on dialogue, consensus and concord.
background work
Por isto, disse que a mais antiga central sindical “vai fazer um trabalho de fundo para tentar de novo trazer de volta estes que teimam em não dialogar”, asseverando que não teme a ameaça da impugnação deste congresso pelos opositores, alegando tratar-se de “um direito potestativo” e que a sua equipa se limitou a cumprir os estatutos e a lei.
“This year we had two or three complaints and we have already responded. Life is full of challenges,… and let’s work, sit at the table so that we can achieve these goals, union, dialogue, consensus, forgetting the differences ”, she concluded.
threat of impeachment
The UNTC-CS congress took place in the midst of contestation by the unions that make up the Platform Unite and Rescue UNTC-CS, and also by a group of former leaders who, without success, asked for its suspension.
The platform promises to challenge the congress, considering that the meeting of the National Council, through which it was scheduled, was, “in all respects, illegal”.
