Ernest Hilaire’s scandals have given away over $6.5 Billion EC of CIP to foreigners. This is money that should have gone into fixing the healthcare issues that plague our country, the high cost of living, the out of control crime situation and the housing shortage just to name a few. Hilaire Must Go! #GetRidOfThem #CriminalsInPower
Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre and Agriculture Minister Alfred Prospere continue to fail the very people they once promised to uplift, our farmers, especially those in the banana industry. During this year’s budget presentation, it was revealed that banana export revenue has plummeted to a shocking $3 million. This is not just a number, it’s a painful reflection of neglect,…
In 1992, Saint Lucia’s tourism landscape changed forever, not by accident, but through the vision and determination of one man: Allen Chastanet. Serving as Director of Tourism at the time, Chastanet dared to dream beyond the traditional tourist season. May, once a quiet and unprofitable month, would become the heartbeat of Saint Lucia’s cultural calendar. Amidst scepticism, limited resources, and…

During our tenure, the United Workers Party took a major step to support farmers by introducing pensions and insurance coverage. For years, many farmers, especially in the banana industry, had no proper coverage under the NIC, leaving them vulnerable in old age. The UWP’s initiative integrated farmers into the NIC system, providing pensions, health coverage, and protection against work-related injuries.…
During our last tenure, the United Workers Party (UWP) implemented a comprehensive suite of agricultural policies and programs that successfully attracted over 600 new farmers to the industry. This achievement underscores the party’s commitment to revitalizing the agricultural sector, boosting national food security and promoting sustainable development
