WHY, IN RELATION TO A PAICV DEBT IN 2016, ARE THE ACCOUNTS SEIZED IN FEBRUARY 2025?
AND WHO WAS PART OF THE LEADERSHIP/MANAGEMENT OF THE PAICV, FROM 2016 TO 2021? I see this news, and I wonder why the PAICV Accounts were not seized until the end of May 2021, the date of my departure from the Leadership of the PAICV! It is now that I learned that, after all, one "inherits" Power, but one does not "inherit" the debts! Opportunistically! And conveniently!
In this wave of analyses of "legacy", and, naturally, with other objectives (and connected to the current Dispute for the Leadership of the PAICV), it would be important - for the sake of fairness and transparency - to disclose the amount of debts the Party had when I assumed the Leadership of the Party - specifying, one by one, these debts - in January 2015 (after I won the Elections for President of the Party, on December 14, 2014)!
Obviously, after disclosing these thousands of contos of debt, it must also be made public that, at that time and throughout my Leadership, the Party Accounts were NEVER seized!
Because, as we know, all Parties have debts, and almost all of them arise from the Elections, directly or indirectly!
However, the Leaders are expected to have the ability to either negotiate or pay debts, even if it means resorting to bank loans, in order to protect the Party itself.
The Leaders do not use the debts they "inherit" - especially when they are co-responsible, having been in all Decision-Making Bodies, and, at no time, their disagreement with any Decision has led to a request for resignation from the Positions or Functions they held - as a political weapon, to attack "third parties", even if, in doing so, they also attack the Party itself!
I remember perfectly well that, when I took over the Leadership of the PAICV, even to pay the salaries of the Party Employees (that month), we had to resort to a Bank Loan, as the Account had a negative balance!
And the bank documents prove it!
However, the Reports and Accounts approved annually by the National Council of the Party and submitted to the Competent Entities can also prove this quickly and fully!
Obviously, they can also prove the amount of the Party's debts, from that time, until the date of my departure from the Leadership of the PAICV!
Since the aim is transparency, combined with truth, are we going to publish all the Financial Reports from the last 20 years, and, in particular, from 2014 to 2024?
