Deputy Prime Minister Cordell Hyde said the government’s recent state of emergency showed a failure of society. In his Liberation Day speech, Hyde criticised the SOE and questioned whether successive governments had failed given the continued use of the SOE. Yesterday, he assessed those comments and the current state of the country.
Deputy Prime Minister Cordel Hyde: “If you listen to the entire speech, all one thousand and fifty words, you’ll see that those eight words aren’t as … they’re not as important as the fact that we’re not doing well in this country, our communities are not doing well, especially our black communities, and that what’s happening right now really hurts our grandparents and our parents because fifty years ago they couldn’t have imagined that we would be in this situation right now. Like I can tell you, whenever I talked to my father, he would lament that fifty years ago there was so much love in the black community and now we’ve reached a point where we’re just wantonly, mercilessly killing each other, and so this speech is about all of us in government, all of us outside of government, our families, our schools, our entire communities having to recognize where we are and see what we need to do better and see how we can come together because ultimately we’re all one people, no matter what we look like, no matter where we’re from, no matter what our names are, no matter who our parents are, we’re all one people, and when one family or one community is wrong, the whole country is wrong. So this speech is about recognizing where we are and taking responsibility, and I think it’s in that context that those eight words come out in the thousand and fifty words.”
The state-owned enterprise will end on September 24.
