The minister elaborated on the “plan to disrupt” the Carnival which amounted to “certain criminal elements” who went to Ariapita Avenue throwing bottles and robbing people and pickpocketing. The music was shut down by the CoP. No one was arrested, according to the minister, because it was too dark to identify the perpetrators.
This “disruption” of the Carnival at a particular location in a single part of the country has been escalated into a suggestion by the CoP for “reasonable shut-off times for future Carnival celebrations” and now a proposal by the minister for a “shortening of the Carnival proclamation.”
