During the address by Party Leader the Rt.
Hon. Perry G. Christie at the opening of the Elizabeth Constituency Bye
Election Headquarters on Prince Charles Drive, a the FNM Mobile Music truck,
blasting music rudely attempted to interrupt the large gathering of PLP
supporters assembled.
PLP supporters were very annoyed and moved
to block the passage of the music truck. The police moved quickly to avoid a
confrontation and directed the driver of the music van to turn it around. In
the process, a party supporter overheard the driver tell the police officer in
charge that ‘his job will be gone in the morning after he reported to the
chief’.
The Progressive Liberal Party sees this
intervention as a naked serious provocation and urges the Free National
Movement to cease and desist from such acts as the same can only lead to
unnecessary confrontation between supporters. The Progressive Liberal Party
wishes all parties involved in the bye-election to remain calm and avoid any
form of confrontation.
