PM visits USA: Fiasco at banquet with emigrants in Florida
The banquet hosted by the Prime Minister in Flária was a fiasco. According to the former MpD deputy for the Americas, Cândido Barbosa Rodrigues, few emigrants traveled to the area, which, according to other sources, made the current government feel bad.
" I feel sorry for Ulisses Correia. It is shameful to see these images (in this piece). In the United States of America, emigrants outnumber the entire population of Cape Verde and no one was present at the Prime Minister's banquet in Florida", Cândido Barbosa Rodrigues, former leader and deputy of the MpD for the Americas constituency, posted on his Facebook page.
According to him, in New England they are trying to organize a dinner in a small space because no one wants to see Ulisses Correia e Silva. « After applying taxes on cars and luggage, closing the air connection and abusing emigrants, this could only result in this. We are going back to the times of 'basement'. It's really shameful to see all this ,” he lamented.
For the same source, emigrants pay attention to the Prime Minister's announcements during campaign times. «The Man will announce the Boston Praia connection for a little while and, as soon as the elections are over, he will send the planes away again. We are paying attention», warned Cândido Rodrigues Barbosa in the aforementioned post.
