Barbados: Opposition leader Mia Mottley to supporters – prepare for general election
Mottley, a former attorney general of Barbados, called on the private sector, the labor movement, civil society, media organizations to think about the future direction of the country.
According to Mottley, it was also the responsibility of the opposition party to respond to the concerns of well wishers, and tens of thousands of Barbadians who have already started to sign (a petition calling for removal of Sinckler) who last week survived a motion of no confidence in the country’s parliament.
Mottley told the three-day Barbados Labor Party conference that the petition was an indication that a desire for change.
“Bajans have told us in their tens of thousands in the last week or two that they are prepared to stand up for love of country. I ask you to ready yourself, because we will be ready whenever the time comes, not because we want to be the government, but because this country needs people ready for any eventuality to conduct a restoration,” she added. -(CMC)
