Former Prime Minister and FijiFirst Leader Voreqe Bainimarama

Former Prime Minister and FijiFirst Leader Voreqe Bainimarama has made claims that there is an increase in casual references to racism.

In a statement where the former Prime Minister outlines his resignation from Parliament, Bainimarama says there has also been an increase in bigotry and statements of discrimination on social media.

The now-former Opposition Leader says that as a leader, he truly believes that, if not stopped, such behavior could lead to a disenfranchised society.

The FijiFirst Leader says he is urging relevant authorities to address this issue.
