The Alliance For Change (AFC) is calling on the PPP/C and the PNCR to “tone down the rhetoric and actions which seem to be taking the country,Steven Matz Mets Jersey, and their respective supporters, down a path of dangerous confrontation”.In a statement issued yesterday,Fernando Valenzuela Dodgers Jersey, the political party called on the two entities to exercise greater restraint and judgement before the situation in the country becomes unmanageable.“Commencing with the incidents of overrunning of police barricades and the burning of an effigy purporting to be that of the President at the Cost of Living March on Thursday,Jim Rice Red Sox Jersey, May 8,Ryan Goins Blue Jays Jersey, 2008,Ernie Banks Cubs Jersey, and culminating with the recent arrest of the driver of the Leader of the Opposition’s vehicle and now the arrest of a member of his personal security detail,Neil Walker Mets Jersey, these incidents can most certainly spiral out of control if not checked immediately.These events indicate the growing disrespect and disdain and that these parties are exhibiting for each other and we believe that in the circumstances,Ryne Sandberg Cubs Jersey, the religious community and other members of civil society are best poised to broker the peace at this time. No one will benefit from a state of heightened tension.”The AFC stated that it believes that the Leaders of the government, opposition, and political parties must be accorded a right of respect that is befitting of a civilized society. It pointed out that in this context, “…. the actions taken against the staff of the Leader of the Opposition have to be interpreted as harassment which can have dangerous outcomes. In similar vein unless the government is prepared to bring to light the most recent accusations of criminal conduct and involvement by members of the PNCR,Blake Swihart Red Sox Jersey, it should cease uttering these statements immediately.”The AFC also issued a plea for others to join the call for a cooling off on both sides and a restoration of dialogue and discussion on the many problems besetting the nation.“We are firmly of the opinion that there is greater duty to act responsibly on the part of the Government and we call on it to do so now as a sign of good faith,Ryan Zimmerman Nationals Jersey,” the statement concluded |
