Aliança para Mudança e Progresso
The Aliança para Mudança e Progresso ( tetum Aliansa Mudansa ba Progresu , German Alliance for Change and Progress ) was an alliance of three parties in East Timor . Until February 1, 2018, the alliance was called Aliança da Maioria Parlamentar ( tetum Aliansa Maioria Parlamentar , German Alliance of the Parliamentary Majority ). The motto of the coalition was "Hametuk Hametin Nasaun" ( German strengthening the nation together ). The flag of the AMP showed the flags of the three member parties on a white background.
history
In the parliamentary elections in East Timor 2017 , FRETILIN won 23 seats in the National Parliament of East Timor , CNRT 22 seats, PLP eight seats, PD seven seats and KHUNTO five seats.
The talks about a grand coalition between FRETILIN and CNRT failed and at the last moment the KHUNTO pulled out of the desired government coalition of FRETILIN, PD and KHUNTO, so that in mid-September a minority government of FRETILIN and PD was formed under Marí Bin Amude Alkatiri .
On October 6th, the 35 MPs from CNRT, PLP and KHUNTO sent a letter to President Francisco Guterres , in which they expressed their willingness to "offer an alternative solution for a government" if the government could not implement their program in parliament, to ensure “peace, stability and development”. Guterres is criticized for recognizing a minority government instead of “looking for a solution that a majority government would have made possible”. FRETILIN had failed to create a consensus between the parties in order to be able to implement the program and the state budget.
On October 8, the three opposition parties declared the establishment of the bloc "Oppositional Alliance of the Parliamentary Majority" ( tetum Aliansa Opozisaun Maioria Parliamentar AOMP ), with which they want to control the work of the government. On October 12th, CNRT, PLP and KHUNTO officially signed an agreement to form the Aliança da Maioria parliamentarians.
On October 19, the opposition rejected the government program presented by Alkatiri with a majority. The government now had to present a new program. It never came to that. Instead, President Guterres decided to dissolve Parliament on January 26, 2018. The date for new elections is expected for April.
On February 1, 2018, the three parties of the AMP decided to work together in the election campaign. For this, the alliance was renamed Aliança para Mudança e Progresso . In a letter of intent, it was agreed to run the election with a common list and to form a coalition after the election. Other forces such as the Fórum Demokrátiku Nasionál (FDN) would also be free to join the AMP.
In the parliamentary elections on May 12, 2018, the AMP managed to win 34 of the 65 seats and thus an absolute majority in parliament with a share of 49.6% (309,663 votes). PLP leader Taur Matan Ruak was sworn in as Prime Minister on June 22, 2018 and now led the Eighth Constitutional Government of East Timor .
At the end of 2019, MPs from the CNRT made more and more Prime Minister Taur Matan Ruak jointly responsible for the fact that the majority of the CNRT ministers were still not in office after 18 months, as President Guterres blocked their swearing-in. The slow progress of the Tasi Mane project also caused a dispute between PLP and CNRT. On January 17, 2020, the government's proposal for the 2020 budget failed again in parliament. Only the 13 MPs from PLP and KHUNTO voted for the draft. 15 opposition MPs voted against, the CNRT coalition MPs and the rest of the opposition members abstained. Taur Matan Ruak then declared the end of the AMP. President Guterres waived his right to dissolve parliament and call new elections. Instead, he entrusted Taur Matan Ruak with running the government.
