Shyne Maintains That Nothing Has Changed, Despite Court Ruling

This afternoon, at a press conference at the U.D.P. headquarters, Shyne Barrow addressed the dismissal of his contempt claims. He argued that despite Justice Hondora’s decision, the leadership of the party remains unchanged. Barrow’s remarks have certainly stirred the political pot, leaving many to wonder what’s next for the U.D.P.

“The applications that were filed by myself and the UDP Central Executive: Hugo Patt, Michael Peyrefitte, Alberto August, Shari Medina, an application for contempt and an application to restrain the defendant, Mrs. Panton, from passing herself off as UDP leader and other related orders, they were both dismissed.”

“How does this impact you going into the elections?”

“Well, it is not idea. But nothing has changed, which is evident as to where you are right now, at the UDP headquarters, and the Guardian, the Wave, the operations of the UDP remain as it was ordered in the November eighth order which is to return to the Central Executive of the UDP.  I will share with you that the defendants, Tracy’s lawyer, Senior Counsel Knox, pleaded to the court that this is a matter of free speech and that his client is free to say whatever she wants because what she is saying has no impact on my operation and function as leader.  According to Senior Counsel Knox, there has been no injury or no interference with my function as leader.  I’ve removed candidates, I have elected new candidates and I have continued to function as the party leader. So she could say whatever she wants, but I continue to function as party leader, controlling all of the assets and operations of the party.”
