PNCR takes protest to Caricom HQ

– culture minister says Carifesta
disruption stance ‘unreasonable’

As the PNCR took its protest to the Caricom Secretariat yesterday, Minister of Culture, Dr Frank Anthony, expressed alarm at its leader, Robert Corbin’s recent statements, declaring Corbin’s position “unreasonable”.

“It is surely foolhardy for any responsible national leader to threaten to sabotage an international event in Guyana to which the world is coming, based on certain local issues with both legal, in the case of CNS TV 6 suspension, and global implications, the latter having to do with food prices and the cost of living challenges,” a release from his ministry quoted Dr Anthony as saying.
