Brava: PAICV goes door-to-door to thank voters for their trust and reinforce the message of support for the zones

The PAICV candidate for Brava City Council, Clóvis Silva, expressed this Monday his gratitude for the support his team received during the October 25 municipal elections and left a message of “commitment” to the population of Brava.

Speaking to Inforpress, Clóvis Silva, who carried out a door-to-door action this weekend, explained that, regardless of the election result, his team decided that on the day when everyone was available they would repeat the walk taken during the campaign, but this time to thank and demonstrate the team's “availability” to collaborate with society.

And as the list is mostly made up of teachers, the PAICV caravan started this journey last weekend, dressed in party identification and traveling through the areas of Cova Rodela, Cova de Joana, Mato, Cachaço, Nossa Senhora do Monte, Tomé Barras and approaching people they met along the way.

The PAICV candidate defeated in the polls on the 25th of October informed that they intend to continue this journey next weekend, with the aim of covering the entire electorate in Brave.

“We show that our commitment does not end with the campaign and that whatever we can support, to claim and demand that localities have a more effective presence of public power, we will do it”, said Clóvis Silva.

But, in addition to thanking and reinforcing the message of support, the same source said that they approached the electorate about the importance of people's participation in political life.

As for the percentage of abstention from the municipal elections held on October 25, Clóvis Silva says he has two readings of this result, stressing that, on the one hand, because Cape Verde is a country that does not require voting as being mandatory, 40 percent ( %) of abstention “is not high”, since most people went to the polls.

But even so, he stressed that the focus is on continuing to encourage people to participate.

On the other hand, he defended that in his opinion, the way in which politics is being made in Cape Verde ends up causing many people not to vote, explaining that, deep down, these people no longer believe in politics as a way to improve themselves. their lives.

In this part, he advanced that it is necessary to show people that “political participation does not end with voting”.

“People have to participate and we have to do a lot of social policy to show people that there is not only a partisan role, but also a social role that they have to demand from politicians, regardless of who won the elections”, he reinforced.

According to this politician, he has done this with the candidates on the list, showing them that they must have social participation so that people can see them as politicians.

"Politicians are not only those who go to parliament, but also those who participate as militants of their party to support the achievement of the common good, through associations, unions, social entities that support the improvement of people's lives", concluded Clóvis Silva.
