*Timor Post, July 10, 2012 language source: Tetun

The Democratic Party (PD) is ready to become opposition in the House of the
Parliament if new government would include independent people in the
cabinet, the PD Party Secretary-General Samuel Mendonca said.

Mr. Mendonca made the comments in relation to the party’s criteria for CNRT
and Fretilin parties to form the new government.

“PD has its own criteria when making coalition, namely the independent
people who have no party should not include in the government structure,” he
said.

He also said anyone who was against Timor-Leste’s independence should
include in the new cabinet.
