Ernest Hilaire’s scandals have given away over $6.5 Billion EC of CIP to foreigners.

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.

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.

Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre continues to deceive the people of Saint Lucia. He stood before the nation and claimed there would be no new taxes yet in reality, his government has quietly extended the 2.5% Health and Security Levy, a tax that was supposed to end this year. Even more alarming, there is now a proposal circulating to increase…

Instead of constructing homes for Saint Lucians…
It’s no surprise that Saint Lucians aren’t holding their breath for Ernest Hilaire or Richard Frederick to debate the 2025/2026 Budget. After all, what can they possibly defend?

At the same time, his tourism…
Philip J Pierre and Infrastructure Minister Stephenson King, declared boldly that 2024–2025 would be Saint Lucia’s “Year of Infrastructure,” promising transformative improvements island-wide.
