Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The parliamentary group of Mozambique\u2019s main opposition party, Renamo, on Wednesday disrupted the annual State of the Nation Address delivered by President Filipe Nyusi.<\/p>\n

The disruption was the latest stage in the Renamo campaign to reverse the fraudulent results from the 11 October municipal elections.<\/p>\n

The Renamo deputies all wore black T-shirts carrying such slogans as \u201cdown with the thieves of votes\u201d, and \u201cThe people will recover their victory\u201d.<\/p>\n

As Nyusi began to speak, the Renamo deputies started to chant \u201cWe want electoral justice\u201d, and \u201cWe want our votes\u201d. Some used whistles to add to the din.<\/p>\n

After a few minutes, the parliamentary chairperson, Esperanc\u0327a Bias, tried to call the session to order. She urged the Renamo deputies to show some decorum. They paid no attention.<\/p>\n

Bias then spoke quietly with Nyusi, apparently urging him to abandon his speech.<\/p>\n

But he kept going. For Nyusi was in control of the microphone. This meant that, although the Renamo racket made it impossible to listen to the President inside the parliamentary chamber, outside anyone watching the speech on television or listening on radio could hear every word.<\/p>\n

\u201cI shall continue to speak, because the public is hearing me very well\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

The Renamo deputies kept up their chanting for the entire two hours or so of Nyusi\u2019s address. But if they hoped to shut him up, they failed.<\/p>\n

Bias had the power to call on the police to remove the Renamo protestors from the chamber, but she declined to use it.<\/p>\n

30 per cent New Year bonus<\/b><\/p>\n

At the end of his speech, Nyusi announced that state employees will be paid the New Year bonus, known as \u201cthe 13th month\u201d.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, this bonus is the payment of an extra month of the basic wage. But this year, the bonus will only be 30 per cent of the basic wage, which is bound to disappoint workers of the public administration.<\/p>\n

Nyusi gave an upbeat view of the future, claiming that Mozambique \u201chas created solid bases for growing in the coming years as a competitive, sustainable and inclusive country\u201d.<\/p>\n
