The Emancipation Support Committee of Trinidad and Tobago (ESCTT) has called for an independent investigation into the disruption of 2025 Calypso Monarch Helon Francis’ performance at Dimanche Gras on Carnival Sunday night.
In a statement yesterday, the ESCTT condemned the interruption of Francis’ performance of Doh Forget as a deliberate disruption of the broadcast audio, noting that viewers at home and across the diaspora were first bewildered and then began to question whether politics played a part in censoring the young calypsonian.
The committee highlighted that Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Barry Padarath, had reminded the public that Dimanche Gras is a state-sponsored event, cautioning that State support should not be misinterpreted as state control.
