JLP Condemns the PNP boycott of the Caricom Heads of Government Meeting as unpatriotic, disloyal and a betrayal of the national interest
Mon, 2010-07-12 09:42
The Jamaica Labour Party views as unpatriotic and an act of national betrayal, the declared boycott of the opening ceremony of the 31st Caricom Heads of Government meeting by the PNP.
