Mario Carrascalao on Xanana in 2007
Subject: Mario Carrascalao on Xanana/CNRT
[via forum-loriku list]
(translation from Portuguese article published in Lusa)
The ex president Xanana Gusmao, leader of he CNRT and candidate for the legislative elections of 30 June, is surrounded by "the worst people there are in Timor-Leste" , affirmed today MVC.
"There are individuals with him who were called for example, Francisco UDT, then called themselves Francisco APODETI, today are Francisco CNRT", the president of the PSD who heads the coalition list with ASDT to Lusa today.
"They are group of people who saw in the fascination of Xanana, the position which Xanana holds, the possibility of living in his shadow", added Mario Carrascalão in an interview granted in the middle of the electoral campaign, adding that "the primary objective of Xanana is to destroy Mari Alkatiri".
"It's not to destroy FRETILIN", analyzed the PSD leader ad ex governor of Timor for ten years when the territory was under Indonesian occupation.
"Xanana Gusmo is giving protection to the so called FRETILIN-Mudança, which will later return to FRETILIN when they destroy Alkatiri", secretary general of the majority party and ex prime minister.
"This is not desirable for Timor", considered MVC.
"I would like to see Alkatiri destroyed democratically, and when I say destroyed I mean eliminated from the political scene in elections", not in any other way.
"But the last thing I would want is to be accused of contributing to instability in Timor-Leste and I have to find a way of coexisting with CNRT itself, which has many people, many people, who I do not like", stated Mario Viegas Carrascalão
"This deceives the people, who look at the sign and think that this party fought for the liberation of Timor", continued the PSD president holding a newspaper of the day pointing at an article on the first page regarding the CNRT.
"I have explained during the campaigned that, if this party was the old CNRT, I myself would have been a part of it, joining our efforts. But this is not the case", highlighted the PSD president, who was a part of the first CNRT (National Council of Timorese Resistance) before the country became independent. Eu não gostaria de ver um herói nacional, um dos pais da nossa unidade nacional, como primeiro-ministro se o CNRT vencer, sofrer as consequências de erros que o destituirão da História como o homem de quem todos os timorenses se orgulham que passa a ser como qualquer outro».
"I would not like to see a national hero, one o the fathers of our national unity, as prime minister if CNRT won, suffering the consequences of mistakes which will destroy the history of a man who all Timorese look at upon with pride to become like any other".
For Carrascalão, Xanana runs the risk of losing the credibility he had, because "to govern, its necessary to have sensitivity for administrative issues and social themes. Its not just speechmaking. Its necessary to know how."
"Of course there are technical people o do the things, but if a leader does not follow things, he is co-responsible. He is swallowed", he said further, opining that Alkatiri is hated in Timor-Leste.
"The majority of the population hates him. Perhaps without reason. I don't know", he affirmed, clarifying that he lead a Government which "never said to Alkatiri that they disagreed with him or in which any minister threatened to leave. Everyone wants to eat. And that is going to be worse with CNRT".
"Xanana is too good a man to do what I did in ten years here in Timor: use the principle that I will only die once but that which I believe is right, is what I will do", analyzed yet MVC.
"Xanana starts with the worst conditions, because he already has a very large adversary which is FRETILIN-Maputo, or Radical as many people say (…), and they will mobilize with ever more strength against him".
"Xanana is a very sensitive man, a man who acts very emotionally. He is a generous man", said Mario Viegas Carrascalão in an interview with Lusa.
"I am not like him. I am generous man but am not as generous as Xanana, who cries and moves people. For me, what is, is. Whoever likes it, likes it, whoever doesn't like, doesn't like it. I am not going to change just for pretense", he declared.
Regarding Xanana Gusmão's candidature, the PSD candidate for the legislative elections declared that "he is a person who should have continued in his position as the father of this nation, an not to involve himself in questions of governments".
"Already with José Ramos Horta I said: you are a Nobel Peace Laureatte, you should take care of the peace, the harmony, and a head of government has to make drastic decisions. It will cause much antipathy."
To Mario Viegas Carrascalao, the new President of the Republic "made a mistake with his first step" in proclaiming the elections amendment law.
"I would have postponed the lection but would never have signed into being a law which was against my conscience. José Ramos Horta himself said that he did not agree with the law.

Illegal immigrants escape
KUPANG (Indonesia) - A GROUP of illegal migrants escaped from an Indonesian detention centre on Friday and was believed to be heading for Australia, where boatpeople are a hot issue ahead of elections next week, an official said.
Local immigration office head I Gusti Ngurah Rai said the 21 from Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran were among 44 people who ran away from the detention centre in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara province.
Officials managed to arrest 23 of the migrants in Kupang town.
'The 21 people may have left to Australia using different boats,' he told AFP.
'Some witnesses said that seven migrants had rented a boat and left this morning to Australia,' he added.

Ali Cobra accused over deaths of 14 illegal immigrants

THE biggest single flood of asylum seekers to Christmas Island in seven years was under way last night as Indonesia confirmed that Ali Cobra, the country's alleged people-smuggling mastermind, would be questioned over the recent deaths of 14 illegal immigrants.
But Indonesian police acknowledged that Cobra, who was arrested on Monday night in a raid in the eastern port city of Makassar, could serve less than five years' jail if convicted over a failed January operation.
The voyage, which set out from Kupang, in West Timor, on January 12, was allegedly organised by Cobra, a native of Sulawesi. He was caught as he was allegedly arranging to send 10 Afghan boatpeople into Australian waters. The breakthrough arrest was part of a joint operation between Indonesian authorities and the Australian Federal Police, which included mobile phone detection technology provided by the Australians.
According to a Kupang detective, Indonesian authorities had six separate mobile phone numbers for Cobra, accused of being one of the leaders of Indonesia's people-smuggling racket, and had been tracking him since the Kupang voyage using the Australian technology.
Last night on Christmas Island, Australian Customs officers used a barge to bring ashore 189 asylum seekers from HMAS Tobruk before taking them to island detention camps.
Some of the asylum seekers have been aboard navy ships since Anzac Day, while others were plucked to safety and transferred to the Tobruk after being detected on April 29 and May 5. There are already 270 people in detention on the island, including 198 men in the $400 million Immigration Detention Centre.
Kupang police chief Adjutant Chief Commissioner Heri Sulistanto praised the Australian involvement in Cobra's arrest, saying the AFP's role in such investigations "relates to information-gathering, observation, monitoring, then they ask us to make an arrest".
But he revealed it was unlikely any significant penalty could be imposed on Cobra if he were to be found guilty over the January voyage -- the victims of which were Afghan and Pakistani asylum seekers -- "because the deaths were accidental".
Of the 18 who set out on that trip after a violent escape from a Kupang detention centre, only four people were rescued, including a boy, 10. Five bodies were found at sea and the rest were never recovered. The three surviving adults each face up to eight years' jail for their escape from detention -- allegedly orchestrated by Cobra.
Mr Sulistanto said prosecutors would try to charge Cobra under Indonesia's maritime laws with negligence causing death, but doubted that would succeed since he was not in charge of the tiny fishing boat when it hit rough seas off Rote island, southwest of Kupang, and sank.
"The evidence against him has been provided by those whose escapes he facilitated," Mr Sulistanto said. "This included providing a (Mitsubishi) L300 (van) and getting them into it, and taking them to the beach where they boarded the fishing boat, which later sank."
He said it was these survivors who had confirmed that Cobra also operated under the name Labasa Ali -- although it was under the former, more evocative name that he bought the doomed fishing boat "for around 40 million rupiah ($5127)".
"The illegal immigrants themselves told us that he used both of those names, although it was as Ali Cobra he bought the boat," Mr Sulistanto said.
But the police chief said the local fishermen who sold Cobra the craft had warned him not to take it to sea. "They said the conditions were not right, but the group still put out, from Lasiana Beach (in Kupang, the capital of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia's easternmost province)," he said.
If the charge under Indonesia's maritime laws could not be made to stick, he said, the strongest penalty available would be a maximum of five years for negligence causing death under the general criminal code.
