“The State of the Nation is characterized in two moments: The first moment, which goes from 2016 and early 2020, and the second moment of March 2020, with COVID, until this part”, said the leader of the Movement for Democracy GP, highlighting the “broad confidence” Cabo Verdeans placed in her party, which, as she stressed, “is the only one that has already shown how to better govern the country”.
