Let’s start by calling out to all those who voted for the Government we have today for one reason or another. We wanted change or we wanted to express our disagreement with the project of the new republic, it doesn’t matter. The fact is that change has taken place and we must accept it. However, the hope that the people had placed in the new team quickly turned into a nightmare. The Lepep Government is doing exactly the opposite of what was promised. Let us put aside the countless scandals and the endless practice of disgusting and shameless nepotism. Let’s instead talk about this about-face that some people seem to want to put under the mattress. Here we would like to address the most ardent brokers who helped put the Jugnauths and the others at the Government House. They will remember the famous approach made by Pravind Jugnauth in October 2014 to meet the Minister of Foreign Affairs of India, Ms Swaraj, who was visiting Mauritius. The leader of the MSM wanted at all costs to convince the Indian Government not to release the credit line granted to the Mauritian Government for the construction of the……… “Métro-Léger”!!!….. .today renamed…”Métro-Express”. He was therefore going to deliver an official letter as leader of the MSM and also in his capacity as leader of the Opposition to the address of Indian PM Narendra Modi in the hands of the Minister. It was a very solemn affair. Here is the substance: The leader of the MSM wanted at all costs to convince the Indian Government not to release the credit line granted to the Mauritian Government for the construction of the……… “Métro-Léger”!!!….. .today renamed…”Métro-Express”.

“Dear Modi Ji,
I am privileged to share with you the legitimate concerns of the State and the People of Mauritius as regards the signing of a muti-billion rupees contract by the present outgoing Mauritian Government with India`s AFCONS company for a light rail transportation project.”
We would like to know, with all the respect we have for them, what the leaders of these cultural societies who helped bring the Jugnauth to Power think of this type of behavior. Shouldn’t we at least explain the reasons for this about-face and at the same time apologize to the population for having misinformed them during the electoral campaign? Is this how we deal with a power like India? But let’s put the method aside. Let’s talk about the substance of the matter. When a political party speaks a language before the elections and changes its position afterwards, shouldn’t it be sanctioned? Or at least ask him for explanations?
The Labor Party has remained faithful to its commitment: We must not mortgage the future of the country with a project that is too costly and does not fit with Mauritian realities. The previous Government had taken the precaution of making all the necessary changes along the way in order to emerge with a true “win-win situation”. The Jugnauth project is a disaster in the making. Since they have been in power, father and son, Maurice has only seen catastrophes in the making, if in some cases they have not already struck… as in the BAI affair.
So it’s high time for the amnesiac minds to wake up. Especially those who don’t sleep but pretend…because of personal interests. When materialism takes over moral values there are good reasons to despair.
