Severo Matías Moto Nsá (born November 6, 1943, in Equatorial Guinea), known as Severo Moto, is the most notable opposition politician in Equatorial Guinea, and leader of the Progress Party of Equatorial Guinea. He lives in Spain where he has established a government in exile, to the annoyance of Teodoro Obiang. Being of the same Mongomo clan as Francisco Macías Nguema and Obiang, Moto was allowed to participate in government activities during the 1970s and 1980s. He was a radio operator in the early 1970s, later ascending to the post of minister for tourism and information (1971-76, 79-82).
Moto lost his government position with the end of the military dictatorship in 1982, and with the advent of multi-party democracy in the early 1990s, he founded the Progress Party. His opposition to Obiang caused him to be imprisoned at Malabo's reviled Black Beach prison. He claims to have won several elections in Equatorial Guinea. He is reportedly on good terms with José María Aznar, the former premier of Spain. Due to this and his position as the main contender to become president after a coup, he was accused by Equatorial Guinea of being the instigator of the March 2004 attempt led by Simon Mann and Nick du Toit, and tried in absentia. He disappeared for a short time in 2005, only to reappear unharmed. He claimed a pair of hitmen had taken him out on a yacht in Dubrovnik, Croatia, only to let him go because he was a fellow Catholic.
