MDC president Nelson Chamisa on Saturday met with visiting European Union managing director for the European External Action Service (EEAS) Koen Vervaeke.
In an interview with NewZimbabwe.com, Chamisa said that his meeting with Vervaeke centred on various issues, among them Cyclone Idai and hunger induced by the El Nino. Said Chamisa;
Indeed we met him (Vervaeke) and discussed a number of issues including the dire humanitarian situation in the country, diseases, Cyclone Idai as well as hunger.
Most importantly we also discussed our attitude towards dialogue with Zanu PF and (President) Mnangagwa.
The discussions also included political and economic reforms. We are clear that Mnangagwa has power but does not have the consent of the people.
We discussed peace building and national healing as well as economic reforms.
On President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s persistence in conducting a dialogue with nonentities while excluding of the MDC, Chaisa said:
He has the power but without the power required to inspire the people even his own bureaucracy. Its palpable that this country lacks inspiration.
He has the power of the office but lacks the influence. He is a restless leader because he cannot find the answers to our national questions.
Mnangagwa cannot pretend to engage the international community while leaving an unengaged citizenry as well as a political opposite.
