	Remarks by President Neves at the Dialogue on Democracy
		In Cape Verde, the opposition enjoys a legal statute and conditions that allow it to fully perform its role, both with respect to the political control of the executive power and the formulation of propositions likely to contribute to the materialization of democratic changes under conditions of absolute institutional normality.

		This is why we understand it is crucial to govern the country in a way as to assure macroeconomic stability, by adopting sound economic policies, giving private initiatives a key role in the development process and reserving for the State the role of system regulator.

		Government statistics show that there are 418,000 legal immigrants in the country and that Cabo Verde tops the list with 68,000, followed by Brazil with 64,000 and the Ukraine with about 43,000.
		Cabo Verde’s numbers show an increase of about 3,000 since 2002 (note: this increase may simply be the result of formerly illegal residents being legalized after recent legislation to facilitate the process of legalization).
		This problem begs the question of why does Cabo Verde have such a high rate of unemployment and a very high crime rate in a country that was previously known to produce excellent construction workers who emigrated to the USA and Europe.
