The difference between leadership that protects and leadership that neglects couldn’t be clearer! Under Hon. Allen Chastanet, a $13.95 fuel price cap was introduced to shield Saint Lucians from the rising cost of living, a bold move to ease pressure on families, businesses and commuters. In contrast, Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre removed that fuel cap, and for the past…

As young Saint Lucians, we are deeply concerned about the direction our country is heading. Piece by piece, the very foundation of our nation is being sold out and with it, our future. Port Castries, the Soufrière Waterfront and soon, even the Hewanorra International Airport, all handed over to foreign control. National assets that belong to the people of Saint…
There’s growing unrest in Canelles and rightfully so. A once public road is now blocked, access to the beach, guaranteed to every Saint Lucian by law is being restricted. At the centre of it all is the Government of Saint Lucia and Galaxy, a foreign investor who seems to be operating above our laws, our people and even our Constitution.…
Prime Minister Pierre’s decision to shut down the 2025/2026 Budget Debate prematurely was more than just a parliamentary maneuver, it was an act of desperation. While much attention has rightly been focused on silencing Leader of the Opposition Hon. Allen Chastanet, let us not forget that Richard Frederick a senior minister in Pierre’s own Cabinet—was also blocked from speaking. Why?…
Saint Lucians are still asking one critical question after the abrupt and disgraceful end to the 2025/2026 Budget Debate: Why didn’t Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre allow Dr. Ernest Hilaire to speak? Whilst the move was mainly a desperate move to silence Leader of the Opposition Hon. Allen Chastanet, who was ready to expose the gaping flaws, inflated numbers and…
In August 2023, Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre introduced the now-infamous 2.5% Health and Security Levy, claiming it was a temporary measure, one that would last only two years. He assured Saint Lucians that the levy would end in August 2025. But today, we know that was not the truth. In his latest 2025/2026 Budget, the Prime Minister has quietly…
For over four years, Saint Lucians have endured the highest fuel prices in the OECS and it’s no accident. It’s the direct result of short-sighted policy decisions made by the Philip J. Pierre administration, particularly the removal of the fuel price cap of $13.95 put in place by the Allen Chastanet-led government. Today, while our OECS neighbours pay significantly less…
The United Workers Party (UWP) strongly condemns the blatant deception by Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre and Housing Minister Richard Frederick regarding the so-called “Halls of Justice” project. What was promised as a shining monument to law and order has instead become a symbol of lies, secrecy and the deliberate manipulation of the Saint Lucian people. Almost one year ago,…
