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) is appalled by the ongoing vile and abusive conduct of Minister Richard Frederick, particularly his persistent attacks on women in this country and his dangerous use of racial rhetoric via his weekly talk show. The most recent example of this disgraceful behaviour was his racist and deeply offensive attack on Mrs. Marcella Johnson, the UWP’s…
Vendors in the City of Castries continue to face victimization under this uncaring and insensitive SLP administration. Those who were relocated to the La Place Carenage carpark to facilitate the project were promised priority placement in the new Box Park project. However, these promises have been broken by Castries Central MP Richard Frederick. Instead of honoring their commitment, the vendors…
As a citizen of Saint Lucia, I cannot stay silent any longer. For too long, sometimes for over six weeks, we have been suffering from the sheer incompetence and mismanagement of WASCO under Minister Stephenson King. Every day, families are struggling to cook, clean, and simply live their lives because the most basic necessity, water is being denied to us.…
The Government of Saint Lucia’s reckless mismanagement of the Citizenship by Investment Programme (CIP) has now placed the entire nation in jeopardy. Reports indicate that the United States is considering imposing travel restrictions on Saint Lucians due to concerns about the integrity of the program. This is not just an administrative failure, it is a national crisis that threatens our…
