Minister of
Foreign Affairs said that people do not remember how many political parties
there are in the country. All these parties are part of the current government.
“There are members of opposition parties. If this is not democratic freedom, I
wonder what kind of democratic freedom do people want?,” continued to say
Minister Mba Mokuy.
Minister Mba
Mokuy also talked about economic freedom in Equatorial Guinea. Guinea is a
country where even if one is a member of the government, they can hold stock in
a company. This allows many Guineans the economic capacity to invest in both
Equatorial Guinea and abroad. “Some countries are bothered when they see
Guineans investing abroad and wonder, ‘Where do they get the means to do that?’
Guineans have many means. It is all thanks to the efforts of someone who is
criticized every day in the press. This results in a country that is moving
forward – Equatorial Guinea. If this is not considered freedom in the economic
sense, I wonder if they only have a special definition of it for Equatorial Guinea.”
