PM’s Threats Unfortunate: Beddoes
Beddoes said it is unfortunate that once again Commodore Frank Bainimarama has resort to threatening the people and the chiefs with his promised elections if they do not support the charter.
He said Bainimarama needs to understand that the more he does that, the less likely people are to support him and the charter.
According to Beddoes it is ironic that the Interim PM calls for unity and support from the people for his charter in one breath and in the other lashes out and threatens not to hold elections.
His comment comes after Commodore Frank Bainimarama had also told ousted Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase and Methodist Church President Reverend Laisiasa Ratabacaca that if politicians do not agree with the formation of the People's Charter, there will be no elections in March next year.
Bainimarama reiterated that the interim government and the military want the people of Fiji, which includes politicians and Church leaders to support the Charter, since they believe that the Charter will eradicate the problems faced by the country.
