Report
"Em Agosto, apenas alguns dias antes do
congresso do CNRT, surgem notícias da formação
de um novo partido, o Partido Social Democrata (PSD). A fundação
formal é remetida para depois do congresso do CNRT. Entre os fundadores
indica-se Mário Carrascalão. O novo partido pretende cativar
as pessoas cansadas do ‘revivalismo’ dos antigos partidos e circulam
rumores de que beneficia da ‘benção’ de Xanana Gusmão
e dos dois Bispos da influente igreja católica. José Ramos
Horta nega a sua adesão ao PSD, mas confirma estar envolvido na
sua criação (Lusa, 16-8). João Carrascalão
critica o projecto, "nada mais que uma brincadeira de mau gosto",
e afirma que a UDT nunca desaparecerá
nem fará coligações com o futuro PSD, preferindo aproximar-se
de outros partidos (Lusa, 17-8)." Observatório

updated Apr 27
"In August, just a few days before the
CNRT Congress, news broke of a new party being formed
– the Social Democrat Party (Partido Social Democrata - PSD). It is formally
inaugurated after the Congress. Among its founders is Mário Carrascalão.
The new party aims to attract people who are tired of the ‘revivalism’
of the old parties and there are rumours that it has received the blessing
of Xanana Gusmão and the two bishops of the influential Catholic
Church. José Ramos Horta denies membership of the PSD but admits
involvement in its creation (Lusa, 16-8). João Carrascalão
criticises the project "nothing more than a joke in bad taste",
and guarantees that the UDT would neither disappear
nor form a coalition with the future PSD. He referred rather to approaches
to "other Timorese parties" (Lusa, 17-8)."
