Marigot: --- Territorial councilors from the Union Pour les Progres were called to the Collectivity to see and comment on the house rules of the UPP party on Monday morning. SMN News learnt that the document that was in preparation for the past three years was on the desk of the DGS and it is signed by the party's president. Councilors it is understood were called individually to read the document and were told that they have the rights to submit written comments before Friday this week when the UPP members would meet to vote on the house rules.

SMN News has been reliably informed that the UPP councilors were told that if they want to remain part of the Union Pour les Progres then they would have to sign the document as is.
Sources close to the UPP said the document presented to them is a carbon copy of the one former Mayor Albert Fleming gave the councilors of Solidarity St. Martinoise in 2005.
Tensions erupted over the weekend after the leader of the Union Pour les Progres decided to publicly call on first vice president Daniel Gibbs and territorial councilor Marthe Ogoundele Tessi to resign if they are not on the same wave length as the other UPP councilors.
Leader of the Union pour les Progres Louis Constant Fleming told SMN News that he wants Gibbs and Ogoundele Tessi to resign and Gibbs would have to give up his portfolios should he follow the wishes of the party.
