Carmen Pereira is more alive now than ever. On 4 June 2016, she transitioned from the physical plane to the eternal life. During the phase that she was on this planet she contributed to Humanity as a freedom fighter against imperialism and all forms of exploitation, including exploitation of gender. She was a revolutionary companion of Amilcar Cabral and recipient of many awards, including from Cuba.
In addition to serving as a political commissioner during the glorious Armed Struggle for National Liberation, she served as the Vice-President of the National People’s Assembly (ANP) that unilaterally proclaimed Independence on 24 September 1973; later as the President of the ANP, then as Secretary General of the worker’s union, UNTG; as Minister of Health; Minister of Women and Social Affairs among other responsibilities in the Party and State. At the time of her physical transition, she served on the Political Bureau of the PAIGC and never missed African Liberation Day and Pan-Africanist and socialist activities.
Immortal Comrade Carmen Pereira made her transition on the day before yesterday (4 June). She was a victimized by “cancer of betrayal”, while leading our just cause to restore the PAIGC to democratic power. Her last words during her daily visits to the Governmental Palace were for us to continue the struggle to return the PAIGC to democratic power even if she dies. The funeral ceremony will take place on Wednesday and will take her mortal remains to the National People’s Assembly, the PAIGC National Headquarters and here to the Governmental Palace.
