The rally organizers spoke at the end of the demonstration. Rama Valayden, who was pleased with the attendance at the rally, said that it was a success. It shows, he added, the extent of the discontent of Mauritians against the government.
For him, the population is convinced that the government is corrupt and taking decisions that are against the people and the country. In that case, he insisted, Mauritians have no choice but to take to their streets to make their voices heard. “We can no longer continue to remain active behind the keyboard only,” he added.
Georges Ah Yan spoke of “a great success” while Sanjeev Teeluckdharry said that “the place of the recent amendments to the IBA Act is the bin”.
Bruneau Laurette said the Constitution, the country and our families are in danger.
Dev Sunassy stressed that people are unhappy with this “mafia government”. He added that Mauritians are “attached to their rights, especially freedom of expression.” He insisted that this is just the beginning.
