On Wednesday, you hear Tourism Minister Manuel Juniour Herredia defend his position on why he asked for Corporal Sharmane Young to be transferred from San Pedro.
This is after Young arrested and charged an unruly tourist, Lisa Marie Merz - who ended up pleading guilty to a number of the charges.
Well, since his staunch public defence of his action, Herredia has been roundly condemned.
Today the NTUCB issued a statement saying that quote, "this type of political mis-step will not be tolerated," end quote.
They demand that the transfer be immediately rescinded.
The PUP also issued a release yesterday saying that quote, "The PUP decries the political meddling and high handedness of a government Minister in Police work."
And while those are official positions, we've been called by townspeople - including UDP friendly one's - in San Pedro who are also unhappy about their Representative's actions - and are talking about mounting a protest.
