DLP’s Vision 2030 advertising not a mistake
The Democratic Labour Party has received many calls from members of the public, querying whether its Errol Barrow Legacy Tour poster highlighting the slogan “Barrow’s Legacy – Vision 2030” was a mistake.
However, President of the Democratic Labour Party (DLP), Verla De Peiza, has set the record straight, noting that no error has been made as the DLP will be outlining its ten-year strategy very soon as it lays out plans for its political future.
Her comments came during an interview with The Barbados Advocate as Democratic Labour Party members and supporters turned up at DLP Headquarters, George Street, Belleville, St. Michael on Tuesday to participate in the Errol Barrow Legacy Tour, designed to retrace the steps of nation builder and National Hero, The Right Excellent Errol Walton Barrow, by visiting key sites he would have frequented. The tour
got started from DLP Headquarters, where patrons were able to board either the Gospel Train or Bashment Bus, to suit their taste in music.
“So many people called asking if it was a typo. However, we are unveiling our ten-year plan, which is why it is Vision 2030, and if you come to the lecture on Thursday [today], you will get the macro-economic policies as well as the social policies that we will be focusing on. Just a snapshot, because of course it is a lecture, so we are not able to give all of the meat in the moment, but we will give the parameters of what the Democratic Labour Party going forward is looking to concentrate on,” the DLP President noted.
De Peiza meanwhile is scheduled to deliver the Annual Errol Barrow Memorial Lecture at the Errol Barrow Centre for Creative Imagination at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus tonight at 6:00 p.m. The lecture will be entitled, “Reimagining a different Barbados”. During that event, the DLP has noted that it will be outlining its philosophy going forward and the policies it wishes to institute on the behalf of the people of Barbados, as it moves on from its 30 to 0 defeat at the polls back in 2018.
