THE FNM has condemned the Government following the termination of veteran broadcaster Christina "Chrissy" Love from the Broadcasting Corporation of the Bahamas, this Monday.

In a statement released by the FNM yesterday, the party took sides with Ms Love in accusing the PLP of victimisation.

"How quickly the PLP has returned to its old ways," the statement read. "The Christie Government has launched its victimisation campaign. Broadcast personality Chrissy Love has ben fired from her morning talk show on the ZNS Network.

"We condemn this rank discrimination and victimisation of a Bahamian professional who has made significant contribution to her profession."

The FNM claimed Prime Minister Perry Christie had previously spoke about his abhorrence of victimisation mere "days" before election.

They said Mr Christie dismissed allegations a PLP Government would fire public corporation employees.

"He has stated that no Government of his would allow such victimisation," the FNM said. "We call on the Prime Minister to stop the victimisation of Chrissy Love.

"This unwarranted and uncalled termination of Chrissy Love shows clearly that the PLP neither believes in Bahamians nor are for Bahamians."

The Opposition also noted they are monitoring other "possible examples of intimidation" by PLP supporters.

Ms Love claimed on Monday as she went into work, a producer stopped her and said the General Manager needed to speak with her.

According to Ms Love, who hosted "Immediate Response," her management told her they decided to invoke Paragraph 13 of her agreement with them.

Paragraph 13 of her contract stipulated either party could terminate the deal with one month's notice.

"Perry Christie said victimisation had ended in the Bahamas, but I beg to differ. I'm kinda' lost as to what their reasoning is," Ms Love said.

She added: "It is their right, but it was handled poorly. If this is what we get from the PLP in week one, I shudder to think what will happen in 60 months."

A statement released by the Broadcasting Corporation of the Bahamas on Monday said the separation was "mutual".

The statement read: "The Broadcasting Corporation of the Bahamas announced today that it has mutually agreed with Ms Christina 'Chrissy Love', host of radio show, Immediate Response, to end their contractual agreement. The Corporation wishes to remind the public that it is committed to ensuring that it provides listeners with public service programming that sets the bar for professional broadcast quality."

National Security Minister Dr Bernard Nottage and Minister of State Keith Bell did not respond to requests for comment following Ms Love's claims.
