President of the Democratic Labour Party Verla De Peiza has questioned the timing of the January 19, 2022 general elections announced by Prime Minister Mia Mottley on Monday and labeled the move as selfish and one of panic.
In her statement, De Peiza, declared that “the government of the day has succumbed to feelings of panic and that the nation’s first call which is its people’s safety has been set aside to pursue selfish ends which expose our people to great harm and possible death.” “Let us be frank; Mia does not care; Mia Scares. But do not let that deter you from summoning every single ounce of strength in your being, indeed your right and your reason, to do what is best for Barbados.”
The President of the DLP, assured Barbadians that in the coming days the DLP will lay out its case for why their rejuvenated, young and committed team is best placed to take the country forward.
