Alden pushing pandemic panic to win votes

(CNS): The idea that a PPM-led coalition is the only group of people experienced enough to deal with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is now forming a major plank in the Progressives’ campaign platform, even though there is no evidence to suggest that any of the other candidates who might form an alternative government would not follow the advice of the public health professionals in the same way the current administration has. Speaking at a local rally in Windsor Park, the outgoing premier, Alden McLaughlin, said it was too risky for voters in George Town South and GT West not to return the PPM members, as he stirred up panic over the pandemic.
