The United Progressive Party Leadership says while it welcomes the news that the State of Emergency will be lifted before December 27.
A long overdue decision seen as a political move rather than an economic or health-related decision by the UPP.
According to the party, Prime Minister Gaston Browne has spoken openly about early elections, and lifting the State of Emergency will allow him and his colleagues the freedom to campaign at a time when some voters might be persuaded that “things are looking up.
Meanwhile, The UPP says it also view the sudden changes to the Administration’s vaccination mandate for students in the same manner.
This is a political response to the November 16 picket by parents and children who protested the barring of students from school compounds.
The growing unrest of public-sector workers sent home without a penny and the disaffection of the religious community which is feeling the sting of discrimination are some of the factors faced by the Administration the UPP contends .
