Democracy Under Siege: Civil Society Excluded from Mozambique’s Parliamentary Swearing-In The swearing-in of parliamentarians is underway. However, @CDD_Moz was prohibited from attending, with military personnel at the entrance reportedly denying access to #SheilaWilson, CDD's media anchor. 🚫🎥 Only Frelimo and PODEMOS are present at the ceremony, while #RENAMO and #MDM have chosen to boycott the event. Although symbolic, this boycott raises critical questions about political legitimacy, as both opposition parties are expected to eventually take up their seats as MPs. 🗳️⚖️ The exclusion of civil society voices like CDD highlights ongoing concerns about transparency and inclusivity in Mozambique’s democratic processes. This moment underscores the need for genuine dialogue and accountability to restore public trust in institutions. 🤝✨ #Mozambique #Democracy #PoliticalLegitimacy #Transparency
