Parliament: PAICV attributes parliamentary deadlock to MpD's loss of majority

Praia, April 8 (Inforpress) - The deadlock in approving the agenda in parliament is due to the loss of majority by the MpD parliamentary group and the lack of coordination with the other political forces, the PAICV parliamentary leader stated today.

According to Clóvis Silva, the MpD currently has 20 deputies present in plenary, an insufficient number to guarantee the approval of the work agenda, given the absence of 18 parliamentarians.

Clóvis Silva made these remarks when approached by the press about the suspension of the last plenary session of this legislature due to a lack of quorum.

“The underlying problem is that, at present, the Cape Verdean parliament does not have a majority,” he said, emphasising that, in these circumstances, dialogue and negotiation among the various parliamentary groups are essential.
