While millions are fleeing their country you all are going there. It just shows that politicians are just wasting their time and fooling the people. Venezuela is a fail state., where Mad Do Row looks out only for the hacks…putting people first.
Jackass Chas tried (together with the big bully) to overthrow the legitimate government of the people of Venezuela. Shame on him.
@Max, you have absolutely no clue about what you speak. The reason for the “failed state” and suffering of the people of Venezuela is because of the Mighty Bully. For heaven’s sake, do some research for yourselves and do not allow the “press” to think for you.
Venezuela has poor economic conditions food shortage the Venezuelan are leaving Venezuela in the thousands to cross the border into the US what can the government of Venezuela can possibly do for pjp
Venezuela has poor econom)ic conditions food shortage the Venezuelan are leaving Venezuela in the thousands to cross the border into the US what can the government of Venezuela possibly do for pjp
The Venezuelan government should not allow Pip or the Pippettes to cross their borders. Why should they trust Pip after he has betrayed Haiti on behalf of his master, Brandon? It’s not too hard to imagine how much more malevolent the level of treachery he is capable of against Venezuela!
venezuela has helped st lucia, along with cuba. these are not countries to turn your back on and act like you’re a big boy and looking down on the country and it’s people. only fools would develop that mentality. our health care system sucks here, nurses from st lucia flee to the uk for bigger pay, these country help with the health care sector and it would be wise to appreciate their efforts before it’s too late and we have no health professional to help you when you’re sick and need attending to. Yess you who criticize.
According to a study in 2021 three in four Venezuelans are living in extreme poverty. As of the writing of this post Venezuelans are fleeing in droves and risking their very lives to enter the US. Not sure what collaboration can be accomplished with St. Lucian leadership???????
PJP didn’t mention how to stop Venezuelan drugs from getting into st Lucia.
To the Anti Bolivar Folks those who worship the actions of their oppressors are destin to fail. Venezuela was good to the St Lucia and the greater Caribbean and the country was totally destroyed just like Libya and so many other countries that had prosperous economies and great leaders like Murmar Kadafy and the great Fidel at on point by the Devil America. Now they are feeling the backlash of their evil deeds tons of Venezuelans are crossing into the US and rightfully so they created that monster of instability. Now the Samson Hamas is tackling those same oppressors I wish them well in their endeavors no revolution is won by deplomacy
Tread softly PjP, the U.S. is watching your move; I don’t see what is there to gain by this sudden trip. Remember for the sake of St. Lucia, you have a Tourism Industry and the bulk of the visitors are from the U.S. so don’t get Uncle Sam mad at you.
Now, see who you are bringing with you – two dead beats – the worse, King & the other one, no habla. CUBA I don’t mind but Venezuela? you must be kidding.
Go visit them but let the Venezuelans stay in their country please or they can go to Trinidad of they can accommodate them. We are I’ll equipped to deal with our own issues farless what they could bring here.
Are you stupid??? there’s nothing more the Venezuelan government would love more, than to allow their citizens to come to St. Lucia. Once they are in, they will not return – return for what – back to the poverty they left? no jobs, no food for sale on the shelves? who is to house them in a St. Lucia with a chronic shortage of housing; will they take away the few jobs available for our people at the most minimum of wages? PjP are you mad? or do you want a revolution? they may come like Sheep, but with clothes covering the Guns.
What ever jean Pierre wants to do that’s fine but openning the flood gate to the Venezuelan people will bring nothing but chaos and distruction to st lucia these people are wired differntly and think differently ask united states and ask Trinidad ? Or please watch crime watch on youtube
THE CROW thanks for the words of wisdom “DO SOME RESEARCH”. Currently the world is seeing a great shift. B.R.I.C.S and the African revolution. Are you not looking and listening?

What is the real reason for a trade embargoe?
