The MMM leader faced the press this morning. One of the first topics discussed was the Franklin case. For him, this case allows us to “realize to what extent the MSM of Pravind Jugnauth has damaged all the institutions of the country“. Paul Bérenger added that everyone knows who has been helping Franklin for years, thus allowing him to become the ‘King of the West’. For Paul Berenger, there is currently an attempt to hide Franklin behind the ICAC. But for him, those responsible for this whole affair will have to pay the price. He said that these people have tarnished the country’s image vis-à-vis Reunion, France, and other nations. During the question and answer session, Paul Bérenger took a dig at Maneesh Gobin, and quipped: “Oh, he’s an Attorney General? I thought he was a long-distance runner! It is a shame for the country to have Maneesh Gobin as Attorney General“.
