Calling for the restoration of CNS Channel Six to the airwaves, PNCR Leader Robert Corbin vowed yesterday that if the suspension was not lifted there would be “serious protest to make CARIFESTA unmanageable”.

As hundreds of persons gathered at a rally outside the Public Buildings in the late afternoon following a protest march through the streets of the city, Corbin declared that they would seek the intervention of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) on this issue and if nothing was done, there would be protests to make the regional arts festival, being hosted in Guyana later this year, “unmanageable”.

As Corbin spoke, the audience cheered, in agreement with him and the opposition leader urged persons to turn out in large numbers at 2 pm on Monday, when they will go to CARICOM Head-quarters to ask for the Secretary-General’s intervention in the matter. Corbin, in addressing the audience declared that if the suspension was not revoked, the party would have a “difficulty” in “cooperating” with CARIFESTA being held here.
