James Michel & Cheap Politics in Seychelles

JAMES MICHEL AND HIS CHEAP POLITICS

During the June 18^th Seychelles National Day speech, using brand new teleprompters that SBC continues to hide from the public, James Michel delivered one of the most appalling speeches ever heard in the history of Seychelles politics.

While struggling to impress the public with his speaking abilities via the teleprompter, the supposedly President for all Seychellois had the audacity of informing us (the people of Seychelles) that we are tired of cheap politics, and that the taxi drivers, fishermen and other politicians who have been denigrating our country should stop doing cheap politics!

What a statement from a gun-toting traitor who has used Gutter Politics all his life, and continues to use SBC to fool the few remaining red voters who still cannot see through his antics and emperor with no clothes presidency! How disgustful and low can you get Michel, given that all your party does is take every opportunity to lie to the people with the state media colluding in the process. Nation, People, Rising Sun, Isola Bella and SBC are all accomplices in your own “cheap politics” charade.

And speaking of cheap politics! How low can you go Michel, to try and use our sacred National Day to play cheap politics with our unfortunate Seychellois sailors who were taken hostages by Somalian pirates many weeks ago? To plan their release to coincide with our Seychelles National Day, and your plan to parade those poor hostages and their families in the stadium so that you can get more political mileage is simply repulsive and nauseating! These poor hostages should have been flown back already and taken directly to their homes to be with their families; not paraded through a stadium so that you and your pathetic Le Pep party can look good at the expense of these brave Seychellois souls who have been in captivity for over 2 months! Cheap politics indeed!

And what about asking those young people who won the Presidential Awards to take part in the parade as if they were part of the Young Soldat Rene group? Cheap politics or NYS flashbacks?

And what about “Bon Question” Onezime lying through his teeth on SBC-TV prior to your grand arrival telling the viewers that there were hoards of people still waiting outside the stadium, when we all knew that the crowd was very thin and that there was not a soul outside the stadium apart from your hundred bodyguards? Cheap politics or ghost voters?

All we can say Michel is that the CHEAP POLITICS is your SPUP/SPPF/LE PEP party’s invention, and you will continue to use these same tactics because you have never, ever told the truth in your life. From the Coup D’Etat to the killing and disappearance of our own Seychellois brothers, to the corruption and drug scandals, to the selling of our motherland to Arabs and your cronies, you have lied to our nation right from the start. And as the bible states, you speak with a “forked tongue” just like a poisonous snake.

In summary, the majority of people in Seychelles have seen through you, your lies, your metamorphic SPUP/SPPF/LE PEP party and your extremely CHEAP POLITICS! And your comment that “Politics is an art..” does not make you a Picasso. So go ahead, do keep on painting your lies, do keep on practicing your own cheap politics, and we will be waiting for you at the ballot box.
