By A Correspondent- The Ambassador EU Delegation in Zimbabwe, Timo Olkkonen said the EU does not favour any political party but is only amplifying what is prescribed in the Zimbabwean Constitution.

He said this while speaking at SAPES Trust Dialogue Forum, Thursday held under the topic “The Deepening Crisis In Zimbabwe.

He said:

“I have been accused of driving a partisan agenda. I just want to say that we deny that. We are not favouring any political party; everything that myself and my colleagues have been saying; basically it is all reflected in the Constitution of Zimbabwe…issues that have been highlighted in the national transition stabilisation program.

… These are our references and we have these concerns in our discussions with the government… Obviously we want to see Zimbabwe succeed. I have seen all sorts of conspiracy theories about how we have an agenda to foil efforts of making Zimbabwe prosper.

Obviously these accusations, they are smokescreens obviously to divert attention. Why would we want to see Zimbabwe fail?”
