What is the main criticism against the Prime Minister of Cook Islands?
The main criticism against the Prime Minister of Cook Islands is his unilateral decision-making without public consultation. According to a local protester, Prime Minister Mark Brown has been acting as if he personally owns the country, making deals around the world that directly impact citizens without their input or consent. The protester specifically mentioned that in the past three weeks, the Prime Minister has been 'wheeling and dealing' globally, making decisions that affect the people of the Cook Islands. This approach has sparked outrage, leading to street protests in Avarua, as citizens demand transparency regarding the controversial deal with China that involves deep sea mining, education, and economic cooperation.
