“The social and economic situation in the country has spiraled out of control and will get worse in the coming weeks or months,” said Roshi Bhadain. At a press conference on Saturday, July 3, the Reform Party leader denounced what he called the extraordinary cacophony regarding vaccination. Several brands of vaccines have been administered to the population and for Roshi Badin, this “briani de Vaccin” in the bodies of Mauritians is the result of poor planning by the government. For according to him, the government no longer controls anything. He went on to say that the authorities have created a climate of fear with the new regulations of the Quarantine Act. He refers to the vaccination that he considers mandatory among a certain category of employees or to go to specific places, and stresses that the people are forced to be vaccinated. This is not a democratic process, according to him. “We are in a pandemic, but there is a way to do it,” he says. He also predicts that if the Delta variant spreads in the country, the vaccines will be useless.
The Reform Party leader also returned to the country’s economic situation. “Our country,” he said, “imports all the basic commodities. With the depreciation of the rupee, prices will rise again, as will the price of fuel. Many families have revised their expenses. The population must take responsibility because the situation will be completely uncontrollable in the coming weeks and months.”
