The leader of UNITA, Adalberto Costa Júnior, accused the MPLA of intensifying acts of political intolerance in Angola. The speech was delivered at the opening of the IV Meeting of the Permanent Committee of UNITA, which took place in the province of Uíge.
Costa Júnior referred to the MPLA as "the regime that has governed Angola" for more than 50 years, classifying the acts of intolerance as having "marks of violence that shame the State and wound the dignity of citizens".
UNITA is the largest opposition party in Angola. The leader considered that the MPLA only tolerates the party at great cost, highlighting the existing political tensions in the country.
The event took place in the province of Uíge, a region where, in August, actions by the police are said to have occurred, although the article does not fully detail these events.
