At the Heart of the News – Politics: Is the Alliance of Change Coming to an End?

Is the Alliance of Change nearing its end? Tensions are surfacing at the highest levels of government. On Saturday, during a press conference, Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the MMM, Paul Bérenger, expressed strong criticism regarding the management of certain government affairs, raising doubts about a possible exit from the government. Could this be a sign of a political split?

Meanwhile, the geopolitical situation is deteriorating. In light of the war in Iran, the price of oil has surpassed 110 US dollars this Monday, raising concerns about potential repercussions for Mauritius in terms of prices and purchasing power. The country will also face a revenue shortfall of approximately Rs 10 billion in the 2026/27 budget due to the ongoing Chagos issue.

To discuss this, Patrick Hilbert will host Suttyhudeo Tengur, president of the APEC, Jean-Luc Mootoosamy, director of Media Expertise, and journalist Bernard Saminaden. Contributions are also expected from economist Amit Bakhirta and tourism consultant Sen Ramsamy.
