The United Workers Party (UWP) responds to claims made in a press release from the Office of the Prime Minister regarding a recent address by the UWP's newly elected Political Leader, Mr. Allen Chastanet. The UWP asserts that Mr. Chastanet's address appropriately raised concerns about Saint Lucia's involvement in ALBA and the implications for its relationships with key partners like the UK and US. The UWP also rejects attempts to discredit Mr. Chastanet by bringing up past issues like Minimum Revenue Guarantees. The UWP calls on the government to address important issues facing citizens like VAT reductions and updates on reconstruction projects.
