By: Acacio Angel

CNRT conference rejects alliance with FRETILIN party in forming the V constitutional Government. The party that won majority of the votes in the 2012 Parliamentary election decided to ally with the Democratic Party and Frenti Mudanca to form Timor Leste's V constitutional government, leaving the second most voted party, FRETILIN to be opposition in the Parliament.

According to the news speculations, there have been strong violent reactions against the decision and many main roads in Dili are blocked by tire-burnings and many houses are stoned. The National Police (PNTL) reported the situation is still under control despite there were tear gas shootings to the protesters in front of FRETILIN's headquarters (CCF) in Comoro and other strong FRETILIN party bases in DILI.

The FRETILIN party leaders, both Francisco Guterres Lu-Olo and Mari Alkatiri, had previously assured the party supporters that FRETILIN was going to join the most voted party to form the V constitutional government in order to fight the plaguing corruption and strengthen the government institutions. But on sunday (15/7), the CNRT party congress voted against the most historic party to join in forming the incoming Government. FRETILIN party militants reacted to the anti-FRETILIN comment of CNRT militants by burning tires on the Dili's main streets.

PRESS RELEASE

Dili, 6 July 2012 - The Minister of Economy and Development, Sr João Gonçalves and the Australian Ambassador to Timor-Leste, Mr Miles Armitage , today signed a Subsidiary Arrangement on the implementation of the new Market Development Facility (MDF).

The MDF is a multi-country private sector development program and has already been launched in Fiji . It aims to increase the income and employment of poor people in Timor-Leste through greater participation in market chains. This means greater involvement in all stages of production, transportation, processing, selling and exporting of goods or services. Poor people need to participate in market chains for income, employment, food and other essential services. They need this to get out of poverty.

Mr Armitage highlighted that “the Market Development Facility program represents a new phase of Australian support to local industry and recognises the important role that the private sector plays in job creation and livelihood opportunities for the poor. Australia will inject AUD8.7 million into the program over the next three years to drive pro-poor market development in Timor-Leste.”

Minister Gonçalves emphasized his hope that this new program will create sustainable employment and income earning opportunities for women and men in rural and urban areas throughout the country.

MDF will work closely with potential partners from the private sector to turn ideas into activities that are commercially sustainable and will help to reduce poverty. As a partnership, MDF provides technical assistance and a cost sharing arrangement; while the partner implements the activity as a part of their core business model.
