DISLOYALTY IN THE RANKS

Disloyalty is a word that does not sound English in my ears, but of all its synonyms it is the closest to what I mean and a lot softer than what I do not mean. In other words, it is a lack of loyalty.
In this case, among the ranks of our incumbent administration.


As everyone is aware, the president of the territorial council which took office in 2012 was removed, for the second time since we became a collectivity in 2007 and leading me to think that France might have something to gain in doing that.


So in a rerun of our first collectivity elections, this leaves with a replacement and removing once again the head of the elected list. Coincidence?


There is however one major difference this time. The first time the party leader was ever present, so much so that the opposition saw it as a problem. This time however, we have a completely opposite scenario.


This time we have the ex president going on radio and criticizing the incumbent president. Yet one would think that the one chosen to serve in his absence would be one of his closest collaborators.


Who is being disloyal to whom and why? More important, how far will this go, where will it end and what will be the outcome? The administration still has until 2017 to go, so at a little less than half way through its term of office how much longer will it be able to maintain its credibility?


Except for the CAF, the country is in the throes of an economic depression, and if the the former president and his incumbent collegue no longer communicate, what is the story behind the story? And most important, how will this impact the country? So much work needs to be done, how much of it will get done?


The organic law is now being worked on, something which was not considered a priority, what will be the quality of the work done on that?


It is said that example comes from above, and in our case, above means France, since France, in this case, the national government, is the only thing above the collectivity. What example are we being shown by France, and is it not time that we show France how things should be done, or at the very least, how WE want things to be done on this island?


Let those who have ears to hear hear, and those who have eyes to see, see.
