Jorge da Conceição Teme

Jorge da Conceição Teme (born May 24, 1964 in Teinae , Oe-Cusse Ambeno , Portuguese Timor ) is an East Timorese politician and diplomat . At first he was a member of the left-wing FRETILIN , but left it in 2011 as part of the Frenti-Mudança reform movement . From 2012 to 2015 he was Minister for State Administration.

Life

Teme comes from the exclave Oe-Cusse Ambeno in west Timor.

In 1998 Teme received a fellowship from the New Zealand Overseas Development Agency and came to Palmerston North , New Zealand , where he also worked with activists for the liberation of East Timor from Indonesian occupation. Teme became the spokesman for the East Timor Students Association (ETSA) in New Zealand . He studied at Massey University , where he received a Master's degree in Policy and Politics of Development in 2002 . His family's home was burned to the ground during Indonesia's Operation Donner , leaving Teme and his wife and children without their own accommodation when they returned home.

At number 12 on the list, Teme moved into the constituent assembly for FRETILIN in the elections on August 30, 2001 , but switched to the II. Interim government under the UN administration as Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation on September 20, 2001 . Teme kept the post after East Timor's independence on May 20, 2002 under the government of Prime Minister Marí Alkatiri (FRETILIN). From May 29, 2003 to August 2005, Teme was East Timor's first ambassador to Australia . He was also responsible for other countries such as New Zealand and Samoa . Prime Minister Alkatiri had to resign as a result of the unrest in East Timor in 2006 . In FRETILIN, too, criticism of its general secretary grew. Teme joined the FRETILIN Mudança reform movement and supported the new prime minister and independent candidate José Ramos-Horta in the 2007 presidential election campaign against his party leader Francisco Guterres . Shortly before the first ballot, Teme was accused of allegedly sexual harassment of an embassy worker.

In August 2007, Teme became State Secretary for the Autonomous Region of Oe-Cusse Ambeno under Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão ( CNRT ) , although his party, FRETILIN, was in opposition to the ruling coalition. Finally, the FRETILIN Mudança split off from the FRETILIN and, as Frenti-Mudança (FM), ran for the first time in the parliamentary elections in East Timor in 2012 with its own list. She won two seats. Teme was sworn in as Secretary General of the FM and in the government coalition with CNRT and PD on August 8th as Minister of State Administration. He therefore renounced his seat in the national parliament.

When Prime Minister Gusmão resigned in February 2015 and the new government of national unity was formed under FRETILIN member Rui Maria de Araújo , Teme rejected the offer to include in the VI. Government to continue his post as Vice Minister. For this he took over his seat in parliament and was now deputy parliamentary group leader as one of two FM deputies.

Teme is one of the founders of the Amigos de Taur Matan Ruak (A-TMR) movement, which supported the former president and his party Partidu Libertasaun Popular (PLP) in the election campaign for the parliamentary elections in East Timor in 2017 , regardless of their party affiliation. Since the FM failed in the elections even at the four percent hurdle, Teme left parliament.
