Hundreds of opposition demonstrators marched peacefully through the streets of Victoria, the capital of Seychelles to protest against the cost of living.
This is the first time that the United Seychelles party has organised such a rally in the capital.
“The objective of this demonstration is to say that some decisions that are taken by the LDS government are not good for the Seychellois people, we see more and more capitalist and liberal decisions where those who are richer, are richer and those who are poorer, are poorer,” Dr Patrick Hermine, president of the United Seychelles party told SNA.
The Seychelles opposition, which lost the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections for the first time, is planning to hold further demonstrations next year to protest against the constitutional amendments that the government would like to put in place.
All of the party’s leaders were present in the march.
