“There are many cases of corruption in the [National Center for Equipment] that its [labor] union is denouncing,” explained Jimmy “Barbecue” Cherizier, [armed-coalition-turned-party] Viv Ansanm’s president and spokesman, in a Dec. 22 video statement. “Here is a state company located in Viv Ansanm’s territory, which Viv Ansanm never burned. So why did the state send three drones to blow up the CNE’s offices and set them on fire? And this happened after the CNE’s workers union had just denounced corruption there.”
