Nita Deerpalsing: "Those Who Remain Are Ramgoolam's Subordinates"
The resignation of Paul BĂ©renger from the MMM was discussed on the show "At the Heart of the News" on Monday, April 13th.
Nita Deerpalsing describes the situation as catastrophic. Acknowledging the historical significance of Paul Bérenger – "the man who shaped Mauritian politics from 1969 to 1982" – she bluntly assesses what remains of the party: "Those who remain are lightweights. They have become the subordinates of Navin Ramgoolam."
She demands an immediate response from the Labour Party MPs: "They must urgently ask the Prime Minister to review the electoral agreement with the MMM."
Labour MP Roshan Jhummun takes a more measured stance. "Since I have been following local politics, the MMM was Paul BĂ©renger and Paul BĂ©renger was the MMM," he acknowledges, adding that this implosion was, nonetheless, predictable given the internal turbulence within the party.
Regarding the MMM-PTr relationship within the government, he seeks to reassure: "For now, everything is okay," asserting that he relies on the parliamentary meeting of the day.
