The 120 people who were at Wanganui's rally against the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement were assured by Whanganui MP Chester Borrows that due parliamentary process would be followed.
Rally organiser Raewyn Roberts said Mr Borrows told the rally at Majestic Square the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) would be put before the members of Parliament before signing.
However, Ms Roberts was sceptical.
"There is no way a government who ignored New Zealanders who did not want assets sold - that were already owned and paid for by our grandparents - will allow the TPPA that has been in negotiation for four years to be hijacked by we, the people, by putting it before Parliament for submissions," she said.
Mr Borrows told the Chronicle yesterday he felt the rally was set up to invite the opposition parties, and he was invited only a few days before.
