Atmosphere: Apparent Calm Between the MMM and the PTr

The atmosphere in the National Assembly yesterday contrasted with the previous weeks between the two leaders, Paul Bérenger and Navin Ramgoolam. After several days of speculation about a possible rift between the Mauritian Militant Movement (MMM) and the Labour Party (PTr), all eyes were on them to observe their demeanor and body language.

Paul Bérenger arrived at the Assembly around 11:20 AM, as punctual as ever. His entrance was marked by a composed demeanor, signaling a readiness to engage in discussions despite the swirling rumors. The usual tension seemed to be absent, creating an unusual sense of calm in the chamber. Observers noted that both leaders exchanged cordial nods, which suggested a willingness to maintain a cooperative stance, at least for the time being.
