U.D.P. issues statement about mayor’s case

As we said earlier, this is the worst internal crisis within the U.D.P. and the government; one in which the most powerful elected woman is saying she is hunted by the most powerful man in her own party. A wounded tiger, the Mayor, had her say this morning and she was ferocious about the Prime Minister. No one from the U.D.P. would go on camera but the party this afternoon, issued a statement, and attempting magnanimity, it said that “a vital step to restoring responsible governance is to hold our own elected representatives accountable for how they govern and manage the people’s resources”. But according to the U.D.P., the party is saddened by the news of charges brought against one of its elected officials. The U.D.P. also announced it was meeting this Saturday to decide on any further course of action. So does this leave the door open for possible sanctions? Insiders say that the party is split on the charges against Zenaida Moya Flowers.
