    Listening to what Alkatiri was saying here, i could actually say that he is a communist and imperialist who wants to take everything for one’s own benefits. How could the AMP government be an unconstituional government? There were small back-paid groups who tried to destroy the atmosphere, but then it was not like the one that happened during Alkatiri’s regime. So, which one of these situation could actually support the AMP? Alkatiri is actually an egoist and a socialist who couldnot embrace other opinions that could benefit the country. After all, Alkatiri is not a real politician because he could not accept the reaity of their failures in governing the country. People wanted a new form of the government which is why most of the people supported AMP. Alkatiri and the rest of failed-fretilin-members should study and learn about leadership in positive way.
