PAN FACE-OFF: Pan Trinbago secretary Richard Forteau, right, in a heated exchange with Dane Gulston who, with other members, stormed a meeting at the head office yesterday insisting that Forteau must go.
POLICE were called in yesterday afternoon after some Pan Trinbago members stormed a meeting of executive members at the head office and demanded that they leave.
Among the executive members at the meeting were treasurer Andrew Salvador, secretary Richard Forteau, PRO Michael Joseph, ERO Darren Sheppard and trustee Allan Augustus.
Protesting members held up placards which questioned Forteau’s legitimacy and asking him to account for expenditures of the organisation.
However as the members jeered at him, Forteau moved to his office and locked himself inside. Members started singing: “Forteau in he office hiding from we,” and “Forteau leave the office now!”

Straight case of the blind leading the blind, to put another way UNC vs PNM, same shit different day. No new ideas, not one of these gangs, groups or individuals see crime as a problem, just for starters. Pass the popcorn.
Well, this is a PNM FORUM so you will never hear NOBODY talking about crime!!!
Leh we keep talking about THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS that PAN going to bring into TRINIDAD!!!
This following are excerpts of what I wrote today, relative to what I perceived was imminent, based on a trend I saw developing, in the discussion:
The Battle for 14-17 park Street, Port of Spain Part VI. The Special Convention. [Episode 2]
I hope that the ramifications of what I described in No.2 above, is considered by the major players on all sides."
I hope that as the battle for 14-17 Park Street, Port of Spain rages, panmen will come to their senses, and reject all the undesirable elements on all sides of the hexagon, and recruit a totally new cast of fresh talent, uninhibited by their actions of the past, and encouraged, supported and directed where necessary by willing and available experience, ready to hit the ground running.
What people are NOT REALIZING is that some of these EXECUTIVES have CHILDREN and GRAND CHILDREN who are in GANGS!!! So this whole thing could EXPLODE into something VERY UGLY.
Of course, with all THE MURDERS (and HATE CRIMES) taking place in THE MECCA -- DEATH EH NO BIG TING!!!
Again Claude you are spreading false news.
When and where did you read that pan children were in gangs?
A few weeks ago a non-pan youth cut off his mother's hand because she scolded him over homework. He had well-to-do working parents and went to a good school. Many believe if he was involved in Pan this would have never happened. The Pan community in Trinidad have zero instances of children attacking their parent violently.
