Marigot: --- The members of the support committee for Robert Romney is calling on all parents and concerned citizens to attended an information session on Thursday afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce Building in Concordia. The aim of the meeting is to find ways of demanding answers from elected officials for an update on the Robert Romney case.Aline Choisy in a press release said to date elected officials on St. Martin are still to inform the committee on the progress they have made to keep Romney at the department of education on St. Martin. Choisy said while they are hearing rumors within the community the committee has not gotten any official response from their elected officials.
"We are still awaiting answers from The President of the Collectivity pertaining to the motion that was sent to the Ministries of Education and Overseas since May 18th, 2010." Choisy further explained that senator Louis Constant Fleming has also promised us to meet with the Ministers in Paris. It seems as if certain individuals, Saint Martiners are out there discrediting Mr. Romney and that is very sad as he is a son of this land, she said.
The Support Committee believes that this whole affair boils down to the fact that Mr. Romney was appointed in 2007 on the insistence of the political leaders and that is something that the Rectorate does not accept.
Choisy said they understood that a letter was sent to the Senator by Mr. Romney and the answer was sent "by mistake" to the Rector in Guadeloupe which considered that as a lack of loyalty towards him.
She said the committee believes that is very futile and just pettiness. The Support Committee, cannot tolerate such arguments be used to get rid of someone who has always been an example as an educator throughout his entire life. What sort of gratitude does this show teachers or educators? She asked.
There are no concrete reproaches to be done to Mr. Romney so by all means he must be thrown in the lions' den! Saint Martin people must unite as any other people would do to defend their rights.
"We know of some individuals criticizing, as usual, all that is being done but we won't give up the fight and on Thursday, June 17th at 7.30 PM at the CCI an informative meeting will be held. We are inviting all parents, all concerned citizens to come out that evening massively."
They will be able to get all the information needed to understand what is happening in this affair. This is not the time to be politicking about each other! Saint Martin people need to get together and stop bringing down each other! The Rector and his staff will be in Saint Martin on June 30th and Saint Martin people need to demand to have a meeting with them. We won't let that what took place in St Barths happen here too!
