Dear Editor,
Mocha Arcadia residents condemn being called ‘dunce thugs’ by APNU+AFC MP
The Mocha Women on Track vehemently condemns the abusive comments and shameless behaviour of APNU+AFC MP, Nima Flue-Bess perpetrated against the residents of Mocha Arcadia.
In particular, we wish to register our grave disappointment over the recent abusive social media post by Flue-Bess which refers to the hardworking residents of our community as ‘dunce-thugs’.
We are encouraged by the swift response and bravery from residents to protest against the continued confrontational and crass behaviour of Flue-Bess.
This is a worrying sign of sustained aggression against the residents.
Notably, the APNU+AFC MP’s social media post follows on from her despicable act a few weeks ago where she confronted a cameraman, who lives in the community, as he recorded the APNU+AFC rally.
We wish to place on record that our group of over 40 plus women, including mothers, is also deeply disappointed by the continued vilification of our young men and women by Flue-Bess and others because they refuse to join the APNU+AFC’s bitterness towards the development of our community.
As a community, we have suffered enough humiliation in the past and we can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines and be dominated by the self-serving political interests of a few misguided individuals.
Our group remains apolitical and open to constructive engagements with various groups that will lead to the upliftment of residents of Mocha Arcadia and lead to development for all residents of the community. We call on all the residents of our community to continue their rejection of the foolish attempts by Flue-Bess to divide us with derogatory labels and threats. Additionally, we call on Flue-Bess to issue an unreserved apology to the residents of Mocha Arcadia for her ill-advised classification of our youth as ‘dunce thugs’. Such behaviour has no place in our discourse, especially at this time of our developmental history.
Our community is stronger together.
Regards,
Bonita McDonald
