Editorial : Prix - l’escalade
Trop souvent, fort probablement en raison de notre insularité, nous sommes bien plus préoccupés par des problèmes internes moins importants que de se soucier des phénomènes bien plus sérieux sur le plan planétaire et qui risque d’avoir des conséquences extrêmement néfastes sur l’ensemble de la population.
Blog: The Comedy of Everyday Life
The comic drama of existence unfolds itself in every situation. It's the approach that counts. I was, by the force of circumstance, in hospital and happened to be reduced to an avid witness of the comedy of gross, the vulgar, the subtle and insidious at a rich period when the public meets the ailing and the vulnerable during visiting hours....Blog: Forging Ahead
This week, Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam has laid the foundation stone of the third recreation centre for the elderly at Pointe aux Piments. The other two are found at Pointe aux Sables and Belle Mare and are operational....Blog: The MMM Manifesto
Europe is the main trade partner of Mauritius. Most of our tourists come from the Eurozone countries. The Eurozone is going through an unprecedented crisis....Editorial : Insensibilité collective
Au moment où Maurice, comme tous les pays du monde, a célébré en début de semaine la Journée internationale de la famille, il convient de se rendre à l’évidence : notre société est malade. Gravement malade....The abortion issue: Open letter to the PM
Dear Prime MinisterWe wish to express our unflinching support for your courageous initiative to amend the 1838 Anti Abortion Law....
Blog: Icac pé fané
The United Nations Public Service Award was awarded to the Independent Commission against Corruption (ICAC), ranking first in the Africa for “her work effectively and responsibly.” This organisation is considered the most prestigious institution to make awards to public institutions....Blog: Seeking Alternatives
The world is experiencing a crisis of penury of ideas. Conventional religion is losing its grip; traditional values that were enshrined in home school and respect for the elderly are being disputed. It would be strange not to expect this result. The Arab spring revolution testifies to the exhaustion of conventional government that, by virtue of its long stay in power has deprived itself of its legitimacy and has become the enemy of the people. In this case the people have reacted with violence, and the new power has itself been trapped into neoconventional models....Blog: Bold Decisions, effective Strategy
Since May 1, every observer of the national scene must have noticed the bold decisions taken and the effective strategy adopted by Navin Ramgoolam. He is hitting the nail on the head by addressing real issues facing the people. With a new found confidence and a conviction of doing the right things....
Editorial: Un mal nécessaire
Depuis que le gouvernement a annoncé vendredi dernier qu’un projet de loi sera introduit visant à rendre légal l’avortement dans des cas bien spécifiques, la résistance contre toute forme d’interruption volontaire de grossesse a commencé à se manifester de manière passionnée....
Blog: Fake Remake
After their failed attempt to attract a larger crowd at Port Louis than Labour/PMSD at Vacoas on May 1 Labour Day, the MMM/MSM alliance has found nothing better than proposing organising twenty public meetings, one in each constituency....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: The Status of the Family in Mauritius
We have always thought of the family as the prime engine of social organisation and the spearhead of progress or degradation. The importance of the family is corollary to the sacred status given to marriage and the view that the child is, above all, one who perpetuates the name of the family. The wear and tear of institutions, the erosion of the primal meaning of social values, the dereliction of seriousness of social practices have caused a rebellion against these very values that were hallowed at a certain time but have become constraining with time....
Blog: Myth surrounding Sir Anerood Jugnauth dissolves before public’s eyes
Had Sir Anerood Jugnauth remained President, which he now admits is a cushy job, and retired gracefully, the myth surrounding him may have survived; he showed no sparks and no attraction to the electorate, except his nuisance value. For his part, former journalist and former MMM Minister Jean-Claude de l’Estrac takes Mauritians for donkeys ready to swallow any form of fascist garbage in an attempt to bring Paul Bérenger and his crutch SAJ back to power, which we have seen splattered in the press through the Méthode Coué without any right of reply....
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....
Editorial: Compte à rebours
Dans leur fort intérieur les Mauves ont dû se rendre compte d'un fait bien trop évident pour ne pas sauter aux yeux : leur mobilisation du 1er-Mai de cette année est presque identique à celle de l'année dernière. Un simple exercice comparatif de la foule de 2011 à celle de 2012 suffirait pour soutenir cette affirmation. Même si pour des raisons évidentes le MMM ne fera pas état de ce fait publiquement, il est manifestement établi que l'apport de sir Anerood Jugnauth au MMM est négligeable....Blog: And the Winner was…
And the best judge as to who the winner was on May 1 could be no other than the public. Of course, not the orators at the public meetings nor Paul Berenger, Anerood Jugnauth or Navin Ramgoolam....Blog: Letter to Our Youth
This letter has a circumstantial motivation because you are living a disturbed period and may in the sweep of events become subject to the nervousness and frenzy created by the media. After all, the common man has only the media to feed his daily thoughts with....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....
