This Saturday, presidential candidate Venâncio Mondlane accused the Frelimo party of using its influence over state institutions to its advantage to "legitimize scams".

In a live broadcast, he criticized the fact that the Ministry of Constitutional and Religious Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior have not issued an opinion on the deaths that have been taking place. According to him, these are deaths caused by the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM).

"Nothing is said about the excesses of the police," he noted.

As he said, those state institutions, including the PRM, have been instrumentalized by the Frelimo party. He said that the party had cultivated a culture of values based on corruption.

"The only thing Frelimo is doing is using the power it has in the form of the police, now it's using the army, it's using the Constitutional Council itself, the electoral bodies, it's manipulating the Attorney General's Office, the Ministry of Justice, it's manipulating the state institutions to legitimize a manipulated victory, a theft, a fraud, a swindle," he said.
