RR7912A GRENADA BISHOP'S MOVE

(21 Mar 1979) RR7912A GRENADA BISHOP'S MOVE On March 13th 1979 Maurice Bishop, leader of Grenada's left-wing New Jewel Movement, staged a coup and seized power from Sir Eric Gairy. Grenada had gained her independence from Britain in 1974 amid a general strike from which the tiny Caribbean island's economy has never recovered. Bishop himself had been arrested only 7 hours before Independence Day. The inhabitants of the island were in no mood for celebration and there were street demonstrations calling for the resignation of the Government. At that time Eric Gairy managed to hold power with the help of his 'secret police'. Five years later, after reports that there was a plot to assassinate members of the New Jewel Movement, Bishop decided that this was the time to move rather than wait to be killed. In the early hours of the morning of March 13th the virtually bloodless coup took place and Maurice Bishop became the island's new self-proclaimed Prime Minister.
