Labour Party plans protest march for this weekend

 

With the State of Emergency over the St. Lucia Labor Party has made good on its promise to stage what it terms “a massive show of force to demonstrate its disapproval of the policies of the government.” The Labour party has repeatedly accused the government of abusing its power during the State of Emergency and has called the administration a danger to the future of democracy. It has accused the government of ignoring constitutional and parliamentary norms and procedures, while passing laws in parliament without a deputy speaker, under the cloak of darkness and without prior consultation and discussion with the people most likely to be affected by those laws.
