Political Parties and Groupings of Timor Leste 2nd Edition
Groupings of Timor Leste, February 2007

Political Parties and Groupings of Timor Leste 2nd Edition - Bahasa
http://www.ip.alp.org.au/download/timor_leste_political_parties_and_groupings_2nd_edition_bahasa.pdf
Second Edition of Political Parties and Groupings of Timor Leste now available for download.
Date: 06 June 2007
ALP International Projects continued its support for consolidating the democratic gains in Timor Leste made since the first elections for the legislature in 2001. With elections scheduled for 2007, ALP International Projects will provide a multi-party program to Timor’s main political parties in campaigning, party organisation and policy development.
In February Gavin Ryan, an activist in Australia-Timor Leste relations and a member of the ALP International Projects team which visited Dili in November 2006, visited Dili for consultations with Timor’s major parties on their platforms, people and prospects for the June 2007 polls. Based on the responses from the political parties, Ryan has updated the Political Parties and Groupings of Timor Leste first undertaken by Pat Walsh for the Australian Council for Overseas Aid (ACFOA - now the Australian Council for International Development [ACFID]) in 2002. The second edition is also available in Bahasa.
The guide has been designed as a living document to be updated regularly. We invite readers - particularly Timor Leste’s political parties - to respond via our website with updates and new information as it comes to hand.

Introduction
Timor-Leste became the world’s newest nation in 2001. The nation
needed a constitution, so national elections for a Constituent
Assembly whose sole purpose was to develop one were held on 30
August of that year.
Over the months that followed, decision-making and power were
transferred from the United Nations Transitional Administration
(UNTAET) to the democratically elected East Timorese legislative and
executive bodies. The final steps came with the Constituent Assembly
approving the new Timorese constitution in 2002. Timor-Leste’s
national legislature came into being when the Constituent Assembly
passed an enabling resolution making it the first National Parliament.
The current National Parliament consists of 88 members who were
elected on 30 August 2001 to the Constituent Assembly. With the
transformation into the first National Parliament in 2002, the
Parliament has a term of up to five years which means that elections
are due in 2007.
The Presidential elections held in April and May 2007 resulted in the
victory of former Prime Minister Jose Ramos Horta. The President is
directly elected, and although the previous election was largely
separate from party politics, political parties are taking an increasing
interest in this important role, as demonstrated by the current election.
Twelve political parties gained representation in the Constituent
Assembly and hence were represented in the inaugural National
Parliament of Timor-Leste. The parties are represented as follows:
FRETILIN Revolutionary Front of Independent East Timor 54 seats
PD Democratic Party 7 seats
PSD Social Democratic Party of East Timor 6 seats
ASDT Social Democratic Association of East Timor 6 seats
PNT Timorese Nationalist Party 2 seats
UDT Timorese Democratic Union 2 seats
KOTA Union of Timorese Hero Sons 2 seats
PPT People’s Party of Timor 2 seats
PDC Christian Democratic Party of Timor 2 seats
UDC Christian Democratic Union of Timor 1 seat
PST Socialist Party of Timor 1 seat
PL Liberal Party 1 seat
New electoral laws have recently been passed for both the Presidential
and Parliamentary elections. Concentrating on the Parliamentary
election laws, Parliamentary representation will change from the 88
seats currently to a minimum of 52 and a maximum of 65. There are a
number of other significant changes including a requirement for
parties to run 90 candidates, and that parties must achieve 3% of the
vote to achieve any representation. These changes will make it much
harder for smaller parties to be elected, and may lead to many of the
smaller parties merging (as some are already doing) or working
together in coalition.
In the first few years of nationhood, Timor-Leste’s system of
Government and governance has faced many varied challenges.
The regrettable re-emergence of political violence in Timor-Leste
has been a stark reminder of the continuing gap between the
hopes and expectations of the citizens of the young nation and the
realities they face of large-scale poverty, youth unemployment and
community insecurity.
Challenges have also arisen in the political arena as the political
culture grows and matures in Timor-Leste. These include:
* The existence and use of martial arts groups and political
violence The continued prevalence of martial arts groups and
violence in the political arena are a constant source of disquiet
locally and internationally. (For previous recommendations made
regarding the political culture in Timor-Leste see Appendix 2).
* Resources There is little in the way of resources available for
political parties, except for those in Government. Parliamentary
representatives receive no resources apart from their parliamentary
salaries, with which to carry out their responsibilities. The
advantages of incumbency can be seen as excessive.
* Access to information Finding out about what is going on in
Timorese politics can depend a lot on who you know and what
languages you speak. Parliamentary documents are produced in
Portuguese (as are all Government documents) causing problems
as only roughly half the current Parliamentarians can read
Portuguese well and a large percentage of the population have little
or no Portuguese language skills. There is little public consultation.
Freely available public information in Tetum about political
participation and the political system is rare.
Despite these challenges there have been many positives since
independence with political freedom flourishing. Political parties and
individuals can organise and campaign freely, with opposition parties
working together and the Government willing to incorporate some
minor party policy. The elections in 2007 should allow the
consolidation of these gains.
For some parties, politics in Timor-Leste is a case of continuing their
historical mission with much the same cast, while for others recent
events have given them a much more contemporary focus. Whether
old or new, however, one factor is striking – Timor-Leste is starting to
see greater political diversity. New faces are entering the political
arena, with alternative policies being strongly held and promoted.
Contrast this with the first years of Timor-Leste’s independence when
almost all of the parties, with the exception of one or two, had largely
similar platforms and commitments.
This publication is by no means the complete guide to Timor-Leste’s
political parties. Even now, after a full term of the first Parliament, new
parties are still emerging and established parties are refining their
policies and platforms, as well as looking to see what structures and
activities might best facilitate their aims. It will always be hard to gain
an accurate and detailed picture of all the political groupings in Timor-
Leste given the fluid nature of politics and the relative youth of the
nation’s institutions.
It is hoped these notes will assist in answering questions in relation to
the political parties of Timor-Leste. Given the scarcity of political
information available in Timor-Leste it is hoped that this publication
will serve as a handy contact list for Timorese who are interested in
social change and the political process. To this end, we will look to
have this translated into Tetum. It should go some way to explaining
how parties have changed over time, the people behind them, and
what ideas and policies parties have for the development of Timor-
Leste. More information should become available over time, as parties
reach out to more people, civic education grows and the reporting of
political events becomes more widespread. This should in turn mean a
more responsive and accountable political system.
The document focuses on the present and the future, rather than the
past. Where possible, however, historical background has been
included. This is an essential part of any transparent curriculum vitae
and is not intended in any way to compromise any party or politician.
Timor-Leste is in the process of establishing a strong democracy
and identity. Its political leaders and parties should be permitted the
same freedom.
As far as possible, the information in the pages which follow has been
based on interviews with party leaders or officials and on official party
documents where these exist or could be obtained. I have also
benefited from the assistance of the following: Pat Walsh, George
Thompson, Maria Noronha, Manuel Napoleon, Andrew Chin, Senator
Gavin Marshall, Michael Morgan, Karen Moyers and Gillian Davenport.
I have drawn on the following works for information: ‘A Survey of
Gangs and Youth Groups in Dili, Timor-Leste’ (commissioned by
AusAID, research by James Scambary, Hippolito Da Gama and Joao
Barreto September 2006), ‘Anatomy of Political Parties in Timor-
Leste’ Joao M Saldanha (ANU, 2005).
Any mistakes are entirely my own work and I would appreciate
receiving corrections. Please remember that this is a ‘living’ document
which will constantly be updated given that new parties are still being
created and with parties constantly releasing information. I would also
appreciate receiving news of policy initiatives and other developments
to assist with the updating process.

Ramos Horta blames police for deaths
Ramos Horta blames police for deaths
June 4, 2007 - 7:10PM
East Timor's new president Jose Ramos Horta says the nation's police force continues to suffer from a lack of discipline, after officers allegedly shot dead two activists during rallies for a new party headed by former East Timor president Xanana Gusmao.
Saying the deaths had embarrassed the nation, Ramos Horta declared those responsible should receive "severe punishment".
The United Nations on Monday stepped up security in Viqueque, south east of Dili, amid rising tensions after the deaths of the two men, supporters of Gusmao's party, National Congress for Reconstruction of Timor-Leste (CNRT).
UN Police fired warning shots and tear gas in Viqueque market on Sunday afternoon after fighting broke out between CNRT supporters and opponents following a CNRT rally in the Fretilin-stronghold.
One man, Alfonso "Kuda Lay" Guterres, died after he was allegedly shot by an off-duty Timorese police officer.
Another CNRT supporter, 24, was shot dead and a 16-year-old youth injured shortly later, as a group of CNRT supporters, accompanied by the former president, attempted to return the dead man's body to Ossu.
"Initial reports indicate that PNTL (East Timor police) fired shots to control a crowd at a roadblock near Ossu," the acting head of the UN's mission in East Timor, Eric Tan said.
The Australian-led international stabilisation force has deployed a platoon to the region.
Ramos Horta, who was due to fly to Jakarta on Monday afternoon for his first official visit as president, said the police entrusted to safeguard the elections had failed in their duty.
"Several members of the PNTL have engaged in crime ... We see that indiscipline is still very strong within the PNTL," he said.
He warned: "There is no impunity in this country".
Reform of East Timor's security sector is considered key to the country's future, after clashes between elements of the police and defence forces sparked last year's crisis, resulting in 37 deaths.
Former president Gusmao, meanwhile, declared it a "sad day" for democracy in East Timor.
The CNRT party is likely to pose a major challenge to East Timor's ruling Fretilin party in the June 30 poll, and Gusmao will become Prime Minister if it wins.
On Monday he joined other leaders in calling for peace, warning that those responsible didn't want a peaceful election process.
"This is a very sad day for me and for East Timor's democracy," he said in a statement.
"I again call on all people of our young nation to give up violence. With violence we only hurt ourselves, our country, and those that we love."
Meanwhile, the UN's Tan said police were still searching for the off-duty police officer believed responsible for Guterres' death and the motive was unknown.
"We are treating both shootings seriously," he said.
"Neither incident suggests an attempt on Mr Gusmaos life."
Tan said East Timor's leaders had met and urged political supporters to remain calm ahead of the June 30 poll.
Fretilin condemned the violence and called for a full investigation, saying the dead man had been armed.
"There also needs to be an inquiry to explain why a campaign member of a political party was armed with a gun and to determine the person that provided him with that weapon," Fretilin secretary general Mari Alkatiri said.
"Fretilin condemns all forms of violence and proactive campaigning. Those who are guilty of perpetrating violence must be arrested and brought to trial so that justice can be served."

Manhunt launched after political slaying in East Timor

Manhunt launched after political slaying in East Timor
DILI, East Timor (AP): East Timor independence hero Xanana Gusmao accused those behind the slaying of one his campaign workers of wanting to disrupt upcoming elections seen as key to restoring stability in Asia's newest nation.
Authorities said a group of off-duty police officers were suspected in Sunday's slaying, indicating that bitter divisions in the country's security forces and ruling elite that exploded into violence and political turmoil last year remain a threat.
"This is a very sad day for me and for East Timor's democracy,'' Gusmao, who will become prime minister if his party wins the June 30 polls, said in a statement Monday.
He said the killers did not want "the election process to take place in peace.''
"I again call on all people of our young nation to give up violence. With violence we only hurt ourselves, our country, and those that we love,'' he said.
Afonso Kudalai was shot three times at close range at a campaign rally for Gusmao's newly formed party on Sunday in Viqueque district, 183 kilometers (113 miles) from the capital, Dili.
Police inspector Jose Carvalho said his officers and those from the United Nations were searching for the killer or killers, whom he said were believed to be off-duty police officers.
He declined to speculate on a motive for the killing.
It was not immediately clear if the shooting was related to an attack Sunday on Gusmao's motorcade, also in Viqueque, when several vehicles were pelted with stones. Gusmao was unhurt.
East Timor, which broke from Indonesian rule in a U.N.-sponsored 1999 ballot, had been heralded as a success in nation-building until a rift in the police and armed forces escalated into gunbattles, looting, arson and gang warfare just over a year ago. The violence killed 37 people and drove 155,000 from their homes.
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jose Ramos-Horta was elected president on May 9, raising hopes of stability, although more than 3,000 international police officers and soldiers remain stationed in the country to maintain peace and order.
Ramos-Horta took over from Gusmao, who was imprisoned during Indonesia's occupation for leading the resistance to Jakarta's rule.
Political commentators have expressed fear that efforts by Gusmao and Ramos-Horta to sideline Fretilin -- which was the traditional party of resistance to Indonesian rule and currently holds a majority of seats in the legislature -- could lead to more bloodshed.
In a statement, Fretilin "demanded that a proper independent investigation be carried out in relation to the death'' of the campaign worker, alleging that he had been armed.
On Thursday, a hand grenade killed a man and wounded three others, while supporters of rival candidates clashed with machetes and rocks elsewhere in the country, wounding a dozen people.
East Timor, a former Portuguese colony, is the youngest and poorest country in Asia, with an unemployment rate of around 50 percent. About two-thirds of children under age 5 are malnourished

Reinado letter denies Indonesia asylum bid
Reinado letter denies Indonesia asylum bid
Fugitive East Timorese rebel Major Alfredo Reinado has sent an open letter to media denying reports that he had flown to Indonesia to seek asylum.
"I state that I have never thought of seeking political asylum in another country," Reinado said in the letter sent to the various media in the capital, Dili.
Reinado reiterated that he was fully prepared to surrender to authorities but first sought a halt to military operations hunting him down.
The manhunt was launched by the government in February after he and his men attacked several border police outposts and fled with dozens of weapons.
"I want to convince you that I am ready to turn myself in to Dili, whenever the time. I only need four hours if the government and the state halt the military and police operations," he said.
He added while he welcomed any attempt to hold dialogue with the authorities, it should follow a procedure "that will not hurt or take my life or those of my men".
Reinado made a television appearance last Sunday when he was interviewed at an undisclosed location by an Indonesian private television channel, giving rise to speculation then that he might already be outside of the country and ready to seek asylum.
Australian-led troops attacked his mountain hideout in March, killing five of his armed supporters in a failed offensive.
The fugitive has previously been blamed in part for last year's unrest, after he and others led 600 soldiers to desert the army over claims of discrimination.
At least 37 people were killed, another 150,000 displaced and Australian-led international peacekeepers were dispatched to restore security.

Gunmen kill activist at East Timor campaign rally
Gunmen kill activist at East Timor campaign rally
Gunmen shot dead a political activist during a campaign rally for a new party headed by former East Timor President Xanana Gusmao, a witness and an official says.
A group of five armed men opened fire on Alfonso "Kuda Lay" Guterres at the rally by the National Congress of Reconstruction of Timor (CNRT) party in the eastern town of Viqueque, radio correspondent Mario Pinto told AFP from Viqueque, a stronghold of the dominant Fretilin Party.
"He was shot dead by five armed men in civilians (clothing), only a few metres from the Viqueque police station," Mr Pinto said.
Mr Pinto said Mr Guterres died on the spot from multiple gunshot wounds.
He said people were "in a panic" following the incident, but did not elaborate.
Home Minister Alcino Barris confirmed that Mr Guterres had been shot dead.
"The police are currently conducting an investigation how (the victim was killed) and the motive behind the incident," Mr Barris told AFP in Dili.
There was no immediate comment from the CNRT or the police.
Campaigning kicked off last week for crucial June 30 elections to choose a new prime minister and parliament.
The polls are expected to be a tough contest between the CNRT and Fretilin, which has dominated Parliament since East Timor officially gained its independence from Indonesia in 2002.

He said people were "in a panic" following the incident, but did not elaborate.
Home Minister Alcino Barris confirmed that Mr Guterres had been shot dead.
"The police are currently conducting an investigation how (the victim was killed) and the motive behind the incident," Mr Barris told AFP in Dili.
There was no immediate comment from the CNRT or the police.
Campaigning kicked off last week for crucial June 30 elections to choose a new prime minister and parliament.
The polls are expected to be a tough contest between the CNRT and Fretilin, which has dominated Parliament since East Timor officially gained its independence from Indonesia in 2002.
