The prime minister, speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, one day after a similar media briefing by the opposition New Democratic Party (NDP), said that Eustaceâs present position was in marked contrast to earlier statements, and the new position had been influenced by others.
âHe started first by being responsible; then when he got a little heat by some of his rabble, including those on the Net, because you have some âaccomplished failuresâ who sit down in cold and warm countries in front of their computers.
âIn fact, âeternal failuresâ who have nothing else to do, but to try to create mischief, and they are the dog that is wagging the NDP tail.
âThey call they self a leader, and that is why his position yesterday was in marked contrast to the responsible position first.
âHis first position: âdo not take out your moneyâ, now âtake out yo money if you want,â you notice the marked shifting tone?â
The Prime minister called the move âan act of desperationâ by the NDP, who were prepared to let the Association go under, in an effort to take political office, and that he was ânot going to allow that type of irresponsibility to go.
ââ¦And citizens, you will have to make judgments about persons who may want to sacrifice an institution like Building and Loanâ¦. They will fail, because Building and Loan is going to be strong, and it will survive and thrive, that I have absolutely no doubt,â he stated.(JJ)
