“There is no political logic.” – Shyne on Jazelie Azueta
Shyne Barrow
According to Barrow, there is no explanation that can be offered by Azueta that justified her action, as well as that of her fellow committee member. Regarding the heated exchange between himself and Albert Area Representative Tracy Panton, the Leader of the Opposition says he stopped short of calling any names in respect of an allegation that was made during the NPC.

“There is no political logic. There is no political rationale or reasoning to not want to protest. There is no logic to not want to issue a condemnation, a public condemnation of Andre Perez and his alleged criminal behavior. He’s accused of sexual assault. There is no logic to not wanting to recall Andre Perez, so when my standard bearer, or the former standard bearer, is refusing to do anything about Andre Perez, but will instead condemn the party who put her in that position, something is wrong. So we have to consider all relationships, so it was important for the NPC to understand [that] there is a personal relationship there for someone that works for Sean Feinstein. That’s what I said. The member from Albert could say whatever she wants to say, I will speak for myself. I did not call anyone’s name, I did not refer to anyone’s gender, anyone’s daughter. There is a relationship there, a personal one with someone that works for certain elements that we have cause to suspect may have been involved, may not have been involved. But we have a right to put that before our National Party Council for consideration.”
