Faber Soft Shoes Saldivar’s Reputation
posted (July 10, 2020)
And while that is really only his hope - indeed, if Faber wins on Sunday, it will suggest what kind of enduring influence over party affairs Dean Barrow has as he leaves political life.

But, one thing Barrow - nor any UDP will do - is publicly speak ill of John Saldivar and the taint of his association with Lev Dermen or Danny Mason. Such are the rules of the political fraternity in any party.

And, even on the cusp of a career defining battle, his opponent Faber held fast to that line:

Hon. Patrick Faber, UDP Leadership candidate
"But even when it is those colleagues have said: I'm not going to support Saldivar, it is not a quarrel with him, it is just to say listen all of these events happen, it is unfortunate that it happened to Minister Saldivar, that's in their view, they don't want to have a quarrel. They are not kicking a brother while he is down, but they believe that if we really want to win the general elections, again we must put out best foot forward and that best foot forward is Faber."

And while we would have wished also to hear from Saldivar, he declined comment to the media saying that on Sunday the delegates will speak.
