It is part of an expedient to subvert the popular will expressed at the polls, and is also an attempt to return to the single party system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo) parliamentary bench, which has not participated in the sessions of the Assembly of the Republic since the October elections, considers it essential to establish the truth and hold those involved in the post-election violence accountable.<\/p>\n<p>Renamo parliamentary spokesman Arnaldo Chalaua described the alleged use of police force to repress citizens, commenting: \u201cMozambique is a country where rulers are starting to attack the citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are afraid of the citizens, because they actually carried out a shameful fraud in the local elections. People were killed in Chiu\u0301re, Quelimane, Maputo and a little across this country.
