Franz DeFreitas, the United Progressive Party (UPP) Candidate for St. John\u2019s City South, will be leading a picket in protest of the Browne Administration\u2019s recent decisions on education.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

DeFreitas promises he will be out on Tuesday morning, November 16, outside the Ministry of Education on Queen Elizabeth Highway, standing\u00a0 against all the policies that have created a poor climate for proper education.<\/p>\n

These include the vaccination mandate and the shutting out of those who refuse to be inoculated.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The UPP Candidate says that all COVID-19 protocols will be observed among those who join him. But he is prepared to stand in this action by himself, he says.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Meanwhile, the Candidate for St. Mary\u2019s North, Senator Jonathan Joseph, is supporting his colleague\u2019s protest.<\/p>\n

Joseph says he will be out with his placard to protest the unfair and draconian policies of the Gaston Browne Administration.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The picket is scheduled to run from 7:30 to 10:30\u00a0 a.m.<\/p>\n
