National Youth Parade in Dominica was cancelled by the Government of Commonwealth of Dominica concerning the safety of students due to bad weather conditions. But the leader of opposition Lennox Linton saw this situation as an opportunity and desperately went ahead to do a salute at the event presenting himself as the PM.

After this desperation by Leader of Opposition, people of Dominica took social media by storm to showcase their reactions towards this UWP leader's action.

A Dominican with facebook handle named Jason Smith wrote, “A last and most exciting segment of an event was wisely canceled in the interest of the safety of the youths of Dominica and this is great leadership”.

This native also targeted opposition leader Lennox Linton by saying that, “He is thinking of this as an opportunity to become a Prime Minister takes an unofficial salute in a dressed rehearsal involving some scouts and a few wonderfully exciting school children: this is Political desperation”.

Even after the organizers canceled the event due to inclement weather but the students proceeded to march. Screams of “we want to march” could be heard echoing at the stadium.

Government officials said that student's safety was a major concern which is why the ministry decided to cancel the march."We were worried that if during the march students get wet some of them need to go far and we were worried about their safety since certain zones were waterlogged. On the off chance that a child got harmed, there are still some consequences for the Ministry of Education”.

As per information further student rallies/marches will be set up as per the weather conditions.
