Parliament: PAICV calls for equal treatment of foreigners and invests in sustainable quality education

Praia, Apr 21 (Inforpress) – The leader of the PAICV parliamentary group highlighted today, in Praia, his concern about the “unequal treatment” given to African citizens on the borders of Cabo Verde, also pointing out the need to invest in quality education in the country.

João Batista Pereira made these statements in the balance of the parliamentary days when addressing central issues of the agenda that starts on Tuesday, 22nd.

In the chapter on current national political affairs, the parliamentary leader highlighted his concern about the “unequal treatment” given to African citizens on Cabo Verde’s borders, classifying the situation as “incoherent” with the principles of regional integration and the country’s status as a member of ECOWAS.

“We are surprised that Cabo Verde, as an African country and member of ECOWAS, has systematically witnessed incidents at Cape Verdean borders, involving the deportation of African citizens, allegedly due to lack of documentation, which is not the case with other nationals who visit Cape Verde,” he said.
