Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Renamo held its last march of the year in Maputo on Saturday (16-12). It contests the electoral results, with an extraordinary appeal submitted to the PGR demonstrating that the party \u201cis capable of reforming the state\u201d, says Vena\u0302ncio Mondlane.<\/p>\n

This Saturday, the Mozambican National Resistance (Renamo) held its last march of the year in Maputo, contesting the victory of the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo) in the October 11th election.<\/p>\n

The bodies duly elected take office in January, but Renamo believes that an extraordinary appeal it has submitted to the Attorney General\u2019s Office (PGR) could annul the decision of the Constitutional Council<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ruling lacked grounds,\u201d said Vena\u0302ncio Mondlane, head of the Renamo list in the city of Maputo, who led the march, adding hopefully: \u201cIf Mozambique still has the remnants of a republic, there will be a positive response from the PGR to the appeal,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToo much political interference\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Mondlane regrets the presence of \u201ca lot of political interference\u201d, but believes nevertheless that there are \u201call the conditions for the suspension of the Constitutional Council\u2019s ruling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Debates in various circles of justice regarding the legal battle have questioned the irrevocability of the Constitutional Council\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n

For Vena\u0302ncio Mondlane, there is a lack of \u201ca global and systematic analysis of all legislation\u201d and adds that \u201cfor the first time, Renamo is challenging legal thinking in Mozambique\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are challenging the way people think legally in this country. Renamo is demonstrating that it is in a position to re-form the Mozambican state into a normal state. The special and exclusive circumstances of this ruling, whether or not it is appealable, are only Renamo found out in the law,\u201d he emphasizes.<\/p>\n

CC ruling can be annulled, says legal advisor<\/b><\/p>\n

Elvino Dias, one of Renamo\u2019s legal advisors in this electoral dispute, states that, \u201cif there is no political interference in the PGR, the Constitutional Council\u2019s ruling could be annulled\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dias defends his position by stating that, \u201cArticle 659 of the civil code has mandatory requirements for a sentence or ruling to be considered valid\u201d. \u201cWith the violation of any of these requirements, the sentence must be declared null and void and manifestly unfair,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

Elvino Dias claims that the Constitutional Council\u2019s ruling violates elementary principles of justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the basis of the ruling it is not understood why the Constitutional Council removed 30,000 votes that were supposedly for Frelimo and attributed them to Renamo. By proceeding in this way the body put itself in the place of the voter and voted in their place.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to submitting appeals to restore \u201celectoral integrity\u201d, the main Mozambican opposition party does not recognize the results of the repeat elections in the municipalities of Nacala Porto, Milange, Gurue\u0301 and Marromeu, which gave victory to Frelimo.<\/p>\n

This Saturday\u2019s march in the city of Maputo passed off without incident. Renamo has pledged to return to the country\u2019s streets next year and keep protesting until \u201celectoral integrity\u201d is restored.<\/p>\n
