In 2021, as Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre formed his Cabinet, Saint Lucians looked on with anticipation, hoping for strong leadership in uncertain times. But what unfolded was both shocking and deeply troubling, there was no Minister for National Security appointed. Let that sink in: at a time when violent crime was on the rise and citizens were crying out…
Saint Lucia is under siege. In just the last week, our small island has recorded 12 murders, with several more citizens clinging to life in ICU after being shot. This is not just a spike in violence, this is a national crisis. The streets are soaked in fear, families are burying loved ones and communities are living in a constant…
Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre’s insistence that “no official communication” has been received from the U.S. regarding a travel ban looks increasingly misleading. Despite his statement after meeting U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio that no mention of a blacklist occurred, the documentation tells a different story. Multiple credible outlets including Reuters, AP, Washington Post and confirmation from a U.S. State…
It’s been four years since the United Workers Party completed the construction of the Micoud Market in 202, a modern facility built to uplift vendors, boost local commerce and serve the people of Micoud North. Yet today, that market sits abandoned, ignored and forgotten. Jeremiah Norbert, why have you never opened it? What possible excuse can justify leaving a fully…
Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre continues to peddle the false narrative that there were “no new investments” under the United Workers Party (UWP) between 2016 and 2021. This claim is not only misleading, it is a deliberate attempt to erase a record of tangible progress. Despite the global disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the UWP administration successfully attracted a…
It’s becoming increasingly clear that Education Minister Shawn Edward has done nothing new since taking office. Instead, he continues to take credit for initiatives that were conceptualised, funded, and launched under the leadership of Hon. Dr. Gale Rigobert and the United Workers Party. A prime example is the Human Capital Resilience Project, which places major emphasis on introducing Technical and…
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…
Ernest Hilaire has once again sold out the people of Saint Lucia. A recently exposed letter from Caribbean Galaxy to the Citizenship by Investment Unit reveals that Hilaire signed a contract allowing Galaxy to pocket the extra funds when the price of citizenships increased from US$100,000 to US$250,000. Galaxy was assigned 6,000 files, meaning they now stand to gain an…
