“The same people are responsible for Betamax and the BAI Affair”, denounced Paul Bérenger, during the press conference of Alliance of Hope this Friday 18 June. According to the MMM leader, the government had revoked the license of the Bramer Bank and had taken the commitment that it would not use public money. For Paul Berenger, this has cost more than Rs 20 billion of public funds, and now, about Rs 6 billion must be paid to Betamax. “Thus, we agree with the leader of the opposition that a commission for inquiry should be set up and chaired by a judge. “.
For his part, Nando Bodha addressed the problem of unemployment. He spoke of the 100,000 people who are not working today. Nando Bodha also spoke of the Redundancy Board which is currently handling 230 cases for companies that employ more than 15 people. According to him, the situation is such that in every household, one person is unemployed.
Nando Bodha also called on the authorities to extend the Covid 19 regulation that takes effect on June 21 to allow more people to be vaccinated.
The Leader of the Opposition, Xavier -Luc Duval, talked of the Betamax case. He said that, at that time, he was the Minister of Tourism. As an accountant, he had chaired an ‘interministerial’ committee because it was necessary to weigh the pros and cons of this project. In the previous government, he had said that the termination of the Betamax contract should be treated carefully. However, he thinks it is a pity that the state must pay Rs6 billion to Betamax.
