Monrovia – Opposition political party Liberia National Union (LINU) has described the impending June 7 protest as “empty, and a political charade” that has no substance to encourage Liberians to take the streets. Report by Edwin G. Geonoway, Jr., [email protected]Addressing a team of reporters at his LINU headquarters in Monrovia, the party’s leader Nathaniel Blama said organizers of the protest have not given any “concrete reason” for the protest. Mr. Blama, however, acknowledged economic constraints many Liberians are faced with daily but cautioned that taking the streets cannot resolve the economic challenges. At the same time, Chairman Blama has frowned at what he called the huge wave of disrespect and insults by citizens towards public officials including President George Weah. He also called on public officials to be careful as to what they utter to people to avoid confusion.
