HGP NIGHTLY NEWS- Political tensions spilled onto the East Coast of Demerara on Thursday as opposition supporters staged another protest over the MV Barima tragedy, coinciding with President Irfaan Ali’s visit to Melanie for consultations under the Government’s Model Village initiative. The demonstration centered on renewed calls for accountability in the aftermath of the MV Barima disaster. Protesters also reiterated demands for the resignation of Public Works Minister Juan Edghill and Minister Deodat Indar, arguing that both should be held politically accountable. The protest became increasingly heated when APNU Member of Parliament Terrence Campbell and PPP/C Member of Parliament James Bond, who previously served under APNU, engaged in a heated verbal exchange. The confrontation quickly escalated into a shouting match, drawing the attention of protesters and onlookers before others intervened to separate the two parliamentarians and prevent the situation from worsening.
