Father of Barbados’ Independence, The Right Excellent Errol Walton Barrow. (Via BGIS)Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley is responding to criticisms from political elements, who have taken to social media stating that Barbados National Day is an attempt to annihilate the memory of the Right Excellent Errol Walton Barrow, Father of Independence. Barbados National Day on November 30 allows us to celebrate both the attainment of Independence and the attainment of becoming a Parliamentary Republic with a native Barbadian as President. And that is why we have settled on BARBADOS NATIONAL DAY – to celebrate two significant events in the life and journey of the sovereign State. Let us focus on what we must do as a nation to be the best that we can be.
