SODELPA President Ro Filipe Tuisawau

SODELPA President Ro Filipe Tuisawau says that he will need to have a word with Mosese Bulitavu and have a look at his statement with regards to his vulagi comments.

Ro Filipe highlighted this when FijiVillage questioned him on what is his stand on Bulitavu’s comments which have been branded racist and insulting and the Prime Minister’s comments saying that it's disheartening, yet unsurprising, that SODELPA's leadership has failed to condemn Bulitavu's reliance on racist stereotypes to cover for abusers in Fiji.

When we asked Ro Filipe why he did not release a public statement and only spoke about it when questioned by FijiVillage, Ro Filipe says that he has not seen Bulitavu’s statement and he will not make a comment on it but the party does not condone any form of discrimination or racist comments.

He says that he will be looking at putting out a public apology to the descendants of indentured labourers that have spoken out on social media about how they are so disheartened about Bulitavu’s comments.
