	"description": "The NDP is facing a serious internal democratic crisis. An unelected, three-person vetting committee has excluded Yves Engler from the NDP leadership race, denying members the right to hear from all candidates and decide for themselves who should lead the party. This decision was made behind closed doors, without transparency, and without allowing Engler a meaningful opportunity to respond. One of the claims used to justify his exclusion relied on a social media post from an impersonation account, raising serious concerns about the credibility and rigour of the vetting process. Rather than addressing these concerns openly, the party’s National Director circulated an internal email to Federal Councillors minimizing member opposition to the decision. This intervention raises serious concerns about attempts to shape or constrain Council’s independent judgment. Reporting on this internal email has intensified calls for accountability: https://globalgreen.news/leaked-email-ndp-director-lucie-watson-moves-to-control-engler-fallout/ Federal Council has both the authority and responsibility to intervene. Members deserve a real choice. Let the members decide.",
