Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>The Morisien Alliance, made up of the Mouvement Socialiste Militant (MSM), the Muvman Patriot Morisien, the Muvman Liberater and the Plateforme Militante, held its May 1st meeting in Vacoas. It was an extremely important gathering, as we are already in the run-up to the general elections. The ruling parties spared no expense to galvanize a very large crowd in Vacoas.<\/p>\n

Finally, the veil was lifted on the famous Vacoas surprise. These were former journalist Jugdish Joypaul, who was present on the Alliance Morisien stage, and amateur meteorologist Afzal Goodur.<\/p>\n

Morisien Alliance meeting in Vacoas<\/p>\n

First of all, Pravind Jugnauth spoke of his government\u2019s achievements in creating \u201cthe necessary environment to have more investment, both local and foreign\u201d. He recalled that his government \u201chad granted more than Rs 4.1 billion in subsidies for rice, flour and household gas\u2026 not to mention the sums spent during the pandemic\u201d. As for pensions, Pravind Jugnauth claims to have done more than he promised. At the same time, he reminds the public that the opposition contested the elections on the basis that the old-age pension promise was an electoral snippet\u2026\u201d The PTr and MMM are still against increasing the pension\u2026\u201d, he declared. According to him, \u201chis government has built 8,000 housing units\u2026 and is already working on building another 4,000.\u201d In the field of education, he recalled that his government had reinstated subsidies for SC and HSC exam fees.<\/p>\n

On another note, Pravind Jugnauth took a swipe at his opponents: \u201cWe mustn\u2019t let the opposition set the country on fire!\u201d. He asks, \u201cWhat is Paul B\u00e9renger\u2019s record?\u201d But he points out that \u201cit was this government that introduced the minimum wage. And at the age of 18, we grant young adults an allowance of Rs 20,000\u201d.<\/p>\n

For Pravind Jugnauth, \u201cNavin Ramgoolam caught the Covid-19 because of his carelessness and negligence. The government and I saved his life\u2026 During the confinement, Shakeel Mohamed incited people to revolt against the government. He is one of the greatest poisons within the opposition\u2026\u201d, he asserts.<\/p>\n

He returned once again to the opposition\u2019s criticism of the drains. \u201cIt rains a lot in specific places\u2026 Yes, drains need to be built. But even the biggest rivers in the country can\u2019t drain away all the water\u2026 Navin Ramgoolam doesn\u2019t have a lesson to teach us on this subject. Remember the tragedy of 2008, when a child died after being swept away by the waters, and that of 2013\u201d, says Pravind Jugnauth.<\/p>\n

Morisien Alliance meeting in Vacoas<\/p>\n

According to the MSM leader: \u201cPeter Uricek, the Slovak, was a major criminal and drug trafficker. I arranged for him to be handed over to the Slovak authorities. Reza Uteem defended him in Parliament. He attacked me. The Slovak took his case to court and lost. He has just been sentenced to 22 years in prison.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also spoke of the \u201cRs 230 million in Navin Ramgoolam\u2019s safe\u201d, alleging that Navin Ramgoolam still hasn\u2019t said where he received the money from. \u201cOut of this sum, there are 3 million new dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strangely, it was Ivan Collendavelloo, who was the speaker before the MSM leader. He declared that the opposition \u201cspends its time fighting over tickets\u201d or \u201cwho will be prime minister or president.\u201d He also referred to the bill on political party funding. \u201cWe need to be able to control who gives and where the money goes\u201d, he argued, referring to the veil surrounding the dollars found in Navin Ramgoolam\u2019s safes.<\/p>\n

VPM Steven Obeegadoo responded by saying that the government is working \u201cpou ti dimounn\u201d and against racism, highlighting in particular the housing units built for various families. For his part, Alan Ganoo asserted, \u201cI\u2019ve never seen a Prime Minister do so much\u201d.<\/p>\n
