AN EXAMPLE OF POLITICAL MATURITY AND TOLERANCE!
The police is said to be satisfied in the way the public have conducted themselves prior to the legislative election. Chief Superintendent Eugene Poris, the Operations Commander, said in a meeting with the media this week that no major incidents have been reported so far.
This, Mr. Poris said, “was due to good police deployment, good sensitization by parties concerned and the fact that fewer political rallies were held.” These factors might well have played a part in keeping tension under control. But the one mitigating factor that has played a dominant role in keeping the run up to the election incident free is the way the opposition has conducted itself. The SNP/DP and their supporters have demonstrated political maturity and tolerance of the highest order. They should be proud extremely proud in fact of the way they have handled themselves. They make Seychelles proud. It is a pity we cannot say the same for the hooligans from the other side leaders included.
They have provoked, taunted and insulted opposition supporters but it wasn’t enough to break our resolved. The reward has been peace and political stability for our beloved country. This is what patriotism is all about a demonstration of calmness and restrain from soiling Seychelles with the blood of our neighbour. Well-done SNP /DP you are paving the way towards real reconciliation!
