CNRT Yesterday and Today

A Comment by Acacio Angel
CNRT celebrated its fourth founding years with a National Congress on April 29-May2, 2011, after the party was founded in 2007. Many have criticized the party for being opportunistic in taking the advantage of FRETILIN party in its internal conflict back in 2006 and Xanana-center Party. Nonetheless the party went on leading the AMP government, survived from the threat of a fail coalition government and now able to overcome its single figure problem by welcoming more potential CNRT leaders.

After four years of hard work of its General Secretary, Mr. Dionision Babo, the party is now enjoying some sympathizers in villages and sub-villages, away from its national-centric party back in 2007. The party also now attempts to identify itself more to be the party of the people and the veterans by adopting Xanana’s wartime slogan “Liberta a patria, Libertara o povo (Free the land, to free the people) .”

Despite of these achievements, there are mix-opinions with regards to the party winning the 2012 election due two one external factor and one internal factor. The moving out of Grupo FRETILIN – MUDANÇA (GFM) and forming itself as a party is a challenge. GFM has been the inspiratory for the CNRT party for they were the founders of the party. It is timely now that if the court of appeal legalizes GFM to be a party, FRETLIN-MUDANÇA (FM), there can be a big hole in the place of GFM. Besides, welcoming new leaders from PD PST party can just add up to the anger people have to CNRT and the person of Xanana for protecting corrupt and opportunist leaders.

Regardless of the above challenges, CNRT has three determining factor they can count on. The image of Xanana as the father of development, honest and hardworking leader as well as free from corruption can win CNRT more votes in the coming election. CNRT can also count on the votes of the elderly and Veterans who have enjoyed monthly subsidies respectively. The welcoming of the new leaders like Bendito Freitas, Julio Tomas Pinto and Miguel Manitelo can be a twist of trust in the party sympathizers and militants that it has more choices for party leaders in the future.

The re-election of Xanana and Dionisio Babo as the party’s president and General Secretary can be the initial indication of a good election experience for CNRT party in the coming election in 2012.

A TIMOR LESTE court acquitted the country's deputy prime minister of corruption and abuse of power charges yesterday after he was accused of securing an overpaid job for his wife.

Prosecutors had charged Jose Luis Guterres with improperly giving his wife, Ana Maria Valerio, a job as counsel to the Timor Leste ambassador to the United Nations in New York in 2006.

The accusations were based on a 2009 report by the country's ombudsman Sebastiao Ximenes, who recommended bringing Guterres to trial for acts of collusion and nepotism.

"The court found that Jose Luis Guterres did not commit any wrongdoing or an illegal action by appointing someone. He also did not commit an abuse of power," chief judge Joao Ribeiro told Dili district court.

"The accusations are only based on rumours and prejudice, so all charges have to be dismissed," the judge added.

Ximenes said in the report that the appointee should have been a career diplomat who had worked through various lower-level posts, "prerequisites Ana Maria Valerio did not fulfil ".

"I'm delighted with the court's ruling. This is a good example for our people to continue to trust our legal institutions," Guterres told reporters after the ruling.AFP

Arão Noé (CNRT) saúda absolvição de José Luís Guterres e lamenta "difamação política"

Díli, 10 maio (Lusa) -- O deputado do CNRT no Parlamento de Timor-Leste, Arão Noé, congratulou-se hoje com a decisão do Tribunal Distrital de Díli de absolver o vice-primeiro-ministro, José Luís Guterres, num processo que considera ter origem na "difamação política".
"Houve intenção política de difamar o vice-primeiro-ministro José Luís Guterres", com o processo instaurado pelo Ministério Público, que veio a culminar com a absolvição dos arguidos, disse à Lusa aquele deputado do Congresso Nacional de Reconstrução de Timor-Leste (CNRT).

O Tribunal Distrital de Díli absolveu segunda-feira o vice-primeiro-ministro de Timor-Leste, José Luís Guterres, dos crimes de administração danosa e abuso de poder, dando como não provada a acusação do Ministério Público.

Pelo acórdão do Tribunal, não houve ilegalidade na nomeação de Ana de Jesus Valério, esposa de José Luís Guterres (nomeado à época para ministro dos Negócios Estrangeiros) como conselheira da missão diplomática em Nova Iorque, nem qualquer irregularidade nas remunerações que auferiu, nomeadamente no pagamento do subsídio de residência.

Arão Noé enalteceu o Governo pela forma como lidou com o problema de um seu membro ser julgado e, em especial, José Luís Guterres por se ter apresentado à Justiça, sugerindo-lhe que exija "a reparação do seu bom nome porque durante três anos foi falado como se fosse um corrupto".

Josefa Pereira, deputada da bancada da FRETILIN, salientou que "todas as pessoas devem cumprir a lei e submeter-se à decisão do Tribunal".
