A manifesto means only a written statement which explain one's beliefs or public pledge?
"announce a maifesto" or "realize the manifesto" are wrong expressions?
"They have a manifesto" sounds strange?

Thank you in advance!

No, a manifesto needn't be written; it is merely a public announcement in some form.

Announce is fine; have and realize sound a bit odd or weakly expressed out of context, but I suppose many verbs would be possible in appropriate contexts: prepare, promulgate, conceive, post, nail up, follow up on, etc, etc.

Martin Luther famously nailed up his '95 Theses' (his 'manifesto') on a church door in the 16th century.
