A POLITICAL TRAGEDY.
That is former Barbados Labour Party (BLP) leader Owen Arthur’s assessment of the imbroglio within the party he led in Government for 14 years.
Commenting on the ongoing dispute between Christ Church West MP Dr Maria Agard and the party’s hierarchy, Arthur said yesterday that the party needed “to take its affairs out of the public domain and show that it can manage its affairs”.
“I say it is a political tragedy because right now there is both the appearance and the reality of a civil war in the Barbados Labour Party and this bringing out of the so-called big guns to help fight the fight is merely to allow the public to know that because of the rattle of musketry, that a war is going on,” Arthur said.
