The Festival of Greed From BAL to CAL to Carnival, a cycle of mismanagement has plagued the nation, leaving no fiscal space for genuine development. Between 2015 and 2024, corruption, fraudulent practices, arbitrary arrests, and internet blackouts have marred the threshold of general elections. This “Festival of Greed” was a curse, prioritizing land speculation over agriculture and neglecting the backbone of our economy. Silence is an Offense The people have rejected indifference to the gross violations of their freedoms and rights. Silence in the face of oppression is an offense.
