Civil society groups, including MKOTT, are campaigning for a fair renegotiation of the maritime boundaries.

14 Jan 2023  |  observador.pt

The author argues that despite the government's portrayal of a positive scenario, the reality is a country in political crisis, with the government's survival attributed to the lack of a strong alternative and the President's reluctance to dissolve parliament.
