Augusto de Araújo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Augusto de Araújo (* in Ermera , Portuguese Timor ), fighting name Tara , is a politician from East Timor . He is a member of the Partido Social Democrata (PSD) .

In 2006, Araújo was one of around 700 soldiers who deserted from the army in protest of unjust treatment, thus triggering massive clocks in East Timor . Major Araújo became one of the spokesmen for the so-called petitioners and called for the removal of Prime Minister Marí Alkatiri . He led a movement called Frente Nasional ba Justisa no Paz (FNJP), which demonstrated against the government and parliament. At times, 2000 demonstrators followed her. In the presidential elections in East Timor in 2007 Araújo supported Lúcia Lobato (PSD). He himself missed entry into the East Timorese national parliament in the elections that same year . After the failed assassination attempt on February 11, 2008 in Dili on Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão and President José Ramos-Horta , the rebel movement collapsed. The petitioners were interned and later released, including Araújo. After a short time, those involved in the attack were also released from their remaining prison sentences.

In January 2009, Mário Viegas Carrascalão (PSD) resigned from the national parliament to become deputy prime minister. Araújo succeeded him and remained a member of parliament until the new elections in 2012 . Here he became a member of the Commission for Agriculture, Fisheries, Forestry, Natural Resources and the Environment (Commission D).

In the 2012 parliamentary elections, Araújo was ranked 13th on the PSD's electoral list. However, the PSD failed at the three percent hurdle.
