PM Mia Mottly puts Thomson in his place

Prime Minister of Barbados and Chairman of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), Mia Mottley, has addressed concerns raised by Dr. Thomson Fontaine, Political Leader of the United Workers Party (UWP), regarding the Regional Security System (RSS) being placed on standby for Dominica. In a letter to Mottley dated March 18, 2025, Dr. Fontaine expressed grave concerns over a statement made by Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit where he announced that he had authorized his security minister to activate the RSS in response to a planned protest demanding electoral reform, scheduled for March 19, 2025, outside the Parliament building. Fontaine alleged that this move suggested an attempt by Skerrit to manipulate the RSS for undisclosed reasons. Dr. Fontaine further stated that the UWP feared the RSS was being misused to suppress the fundamental human rights of Dominican citizens to engage in peaceful protests.

He quoted Section 4 of the Act which states that: ‘where any persons desires to obtain any public procession...

Double Standards, Deceit, and Delay: Who’s Really Trying to Stop Dominica’s Progress?

🚧 Double Standards, Deceit, and Delay: Who’s Really Trying to Stop Dominica’s Progress? Dominica stands on the brink of a generational breakthrough. The construction of an international airport is more than a project — it’s a national milestone that promises to transform tourism, create jobs, and strengthen our connection to the world. Yet, amid this progress, a familiar voice has re-emerged with legal action, accusations, and objections. On April 24, 2025, Eddison James, former Prime Minister and longtime figure in the United Workers Party (UWP), filed for an injunction against works being done on land owned by Celia Fadelle — land being used for the development of the international airport. His claims? Concerns about noise, dust, and environmental impact. But here's where the hypocrisy is deafening. In 1998, while in office, Eddison James himself was actively pursuing the acquisition of a quarry and heavy equipment in this same or similar area. His aim? To supply essential mater...
