Blog: The MMM and its Nazi Propaganda


Propaganda was used profusely by the Nazis during the period leading up and during World War II. This is exactly what the MMM has been doing since the seventies and more recently since Paul Berenger managed to trap Sir Anerood Jugnauth into a resignation from the presidency in the belief that overnight SAJ would be prime minister again.

Blog: Perversion and Terrorism


One perverted the office of the president by converting it into a political platform to discuss the political future of his son with his accomplice. His name is Sir Anerood Jugnauth. He has embarked on a campaign of terrorism against the government and institutions like ICAC and the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). The other one is the accomplice of the first one and true to himself has indulged in a campaign of vulgar propaganda and lies reminiscent of Fascism and Nazism and Bolshevism. His name is Paul Berenger....

Blog: The big bang Effect vanished into thin Air


From the day that Sir Anerood Jugnauth (SAJ) resigned from the office of the president that he had converted into a political institution to allegedly save the country up to the May 1st rally the MMM has launched a psychological warfare against the Labour Party and its allies coupled with threats coming from SAJ against institutions like the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the DPP himself as well as against ICAC....

Blog: Intimidating the DPP


Le Mauricien of 16 April and Le Matinal of the same date reported that in a public address Paul Berenger has issued a warning to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) about the case of Pravind Jugnauth....

Blog: The Cat is out of the Bag


A massive psychological exercise has been undertaken by the MMM to convince the people that the government will very, very soon be defeated on a no confidence motion and that general elections will be held and would see the MMM/MSM sweeping to a landslide victory by sweeping all the seats. Nothing could be more farcical, far from the truth and unrealistic....

Blog: Foul is Fair


In his political press conference held at State House the new leader of the opposition, Sir Anerood Jugnauth blasted the government and more especially Navin Ramgoolam for mismanaging the affairs of the country. He used the office of the president for launching his political campaign....

Blog: Perversion and Violation of the Constitution


It is crystal clear that the "president" of the Republic has donned the garb of a full-fledged politician and is openly critical of his government. In 2010 when he read the traditional speech outlining the plan of the government, a government where his son sat as Minister of Finance, he fully endorsed the measures just as he was silent on the measures of the budget speech of his son. He is very silent on that speech that did not enunciate much by the way....

Blog: President or Prime Minister-in-Waiting ?


The MMM/MSM Government has, it appears, already been formed. At the garden party at State House one could see in a picture members of the MMM clutching the "president" who is more the prime minister-in-waiting or the de facto leader of the opposition. People who speak of principles and morality are seen smiling with the prime minister-in-waiting, little realising that the presidency has been undermined and has lost total legitimacy and morality....

Blog: What excuses ?


Paul Berenger has been hoisted by his own petard. He held the firm belief after steering a yes vote for a remake of the 2000 MMM/MSM alliance with Sir Anerood Jugnauth the present President of the Republic, and therefore the de facto Leader of the Opposition, that the government would be defeated on a motion of no confidence thus ushering the country into new general elections....

Blog: The dirty Picture


Reference is not being made to the Bollywood movie with a gorgeous Vidya Balan dancing Ooh la la. Rather we mean the dirty picture from Jugnauthwood/Berengerwood. The nomination for the best actor is Paul Berenger and for best supporting actor Sir Anerood Jugnauth. The awards will be decided at election time by the electorate....

Blog: What a shameful State!


Never in the history of independent Mauritius has the topmost institution of the country been so undermined. That topmost office is the office of the president that replaced the institution of governor general. The latter was the representative of the British monarch. Whether one is occupying the office of governor general or that of president the cardinal rule is that the holder should be scrupulously above politics....

Blog: Let Us not start a religious War


Since the rude outburst of Salim Muthy at a celebration of Yaum un Nabi at Alleemiah College against Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam, a debate has suddenly sprung up around the need to avoid political speeches at religious functions....

Blog: Danger of Proportional Representation


Much of the never-ending debates on electoral reforms have centred on the Best Loser System (BLS) and Proportional Representation (PR). On BLS it is clear that the so-called minorities bear a deep distrust towards the majority community, the Hindus. The Muslims have pushed it as far as asking the Prime Minister to apologise for having used the word wine at the Yaum-um-Nabi celebration at Phoenix. If that is the trend then no cows should be slaughtered in localities where a majority of Hindus live. The Muslim community should be careful in their attitude because we are not in an Islamic State but in a secular State where each component of the population is entitled to its beliefs and views....

Blog: What If?


The Muslims gathered in large numbers to bolster their crusade to maintain the Best Loser System (BLS). The intellectuals, or whatever, who were present at that gathering dished out their belief that without the BLS the Muslim minority will not feel secure in the country....

Blog: Unpatriotic Mentality


Part of the written media built up a huge publicity around the broadcasting of a feature on Mauritius by channel M6 that is broadcast by MC vision. Those behind that publicity relished with glee the fact that the feature would focus on the negative aspects of life in Mauritius....

Blog: The best Winning System


Talks are still going on the issue of electoral reforms. We have had the benefit of the Sachs report as amended by Mr. Ivan Collendavelloo and destroyed by the MSM when that party was in a coalition with the MMM. We have had the benefit of the Carcassonne report that has generated much controversy. The backbone of the reforms of Carcassonne is proportional representation. It is appropriate to go down memory lane here as Great Britain as the colonial power succumbed to the conservatives' point of view following the 1955 constitutional conference that took place in London from 12 to 20 July 1955....

Blog: The ‘indignés’ and the Ambitious


The MMM professes to be a party with original ideas that will save Mauritius from all evils real or imaginary. It also claims to hold the monopoly of good governance and solutions in Mauritius. The MMM has been in government in 1982 for ten months; in 1991 for two years; in 1995 for two years and in 2000 for five years. In what way has it changed the evils that it says are besetting Mauritius?...

Blog: What has changed?


Nothing has changed in the approach and thinking of the MMM. If we go back to the press of the seventies when the MMM were not represented in Parliament and even after the 1976 general elections, the clarion call of that party has been general elections. If it depended on the MMM they would hold general elections every six months....

Blog: To Hell with Remake


Day in and day out, week after week Paul Berenger the leader of the opposition states that there will be no Labour/MMM alliance and that the MMM option is a remake of the 2000 MMM/MSM alliance with Sir Anerood Jugnauth as the leader of that alliance....

Blog: Are We ready for Proportional Representation?


The topic of electoral reform has been in the air for ages now. A weighted majority is required to bring in any changes to the Constitution to implement any electoral reform whatever form it takes. We nearly headed towards an electoral reform under the MMM/MSM regime that swept to power in 2000. Though that coalition had more than the required weighted majority it beat about the bush as the two partners did not see eye to eye on the proposed changes....
