Analysts say it makes no sense for Mozambique to continue spending money on documents for the hidden debts lawsuit in the British courts, which is known to be lost in advance.

This week it was revealed in the Commercial Court in London that Mozambique has spent at least about six million dollars in the preparation of documents for the lawsuit.

For the analyst Laurindos Macuácua, quoted by VOA, this is a financial effort that Mozambique is making, in vain, given the nature of the process itself.

Macuacua says he doubts that the Attorney General's Office (PGR) is not aware that it should drop this case.

"I think the OPG is under political pressure, and because of this, she wants to give the indication that she is doing something; in my opinion, a case of this nature should not even be pursued," stresses Macuacua, who is also a writer.

Big cry

For his part, the analyst and journalist Alexandre Chiúre, says that Mozambican civil society has always thought that "it was not worth the state spending so much money on this process, because there is a risk of losing the case, but the OPG understands that it is necessary to continue to defend what are the interests of the nation, because the main objective is to avoid paying the illegally contracted debt.

"If we get that, we will say that it was worth the insistence of the OPG, but if we don't, it will be a very big cry, because we lost and we will continue to lose a lot of money with this process," considers the analyst.

The same opinion is shared by journalist Fernando Mbanze, for whom, this is a very difficult process for the Mozambican State.

Mbanze says that "this effort may not result in what the state itself wants, because in this process it is dealing with a very strong group that knows well the contours of this type of international litigation; it will be very difficult to face Privinvest and the VTB and Credit Suisse banks.
