November 30 will continue to be referred to as Independence Day in Barbados, and the people will be consulted on how best to celebrate the country’s new republic status.
This is the decision coming out of Thursday’s Cabinet meeting as promised by Minister of Home Affairs and Information Wilfred Abrahams.
There was some resistance through the use of social media when the Barbados Labour Party administration sought to combine both Independence and republic activities under the name Barbados National Day on November 30.
In a statement issued Minister Abrahams promised Cabinet would meet on the issue on Thursday and report to the people.
