Is PM Briceño Out of Touch with Northern Caucus?
According to the Leader of the Opposition, the writings had been on the wall long before the issue escalated to where it is presently.

“He’s so disconnected that obviously there is a crisis. I knew days before what was happening. I knew that, everything that was happening I had intelligence on. There is no way that the prime minister can plead ignorance, as ignorant as many of us may think he is and as foolish as we may think he is, he has to know better. How is it, unless you’re just disconnected, he lives in his own world, his cabinet is falling apart, the attorney general left, his brain trust, Eamon Courtenay left. So this is a sign of the end of times and the continued disconnect that he did not know that he had to stay put and solve this issue, an issue that we have been dealing with every year since they took office. We don’t want to hear about the United Democratic Party because the people voted for the People’s United Party. Many caneros, hoping that they would be the solution to the issues that they have faced, and what we have had is three years of the same old PUP and nothing has been solved.”
