CARIBBEAN-POLITICS-ST. Vincent PM speaks on political situation in St. Kitts

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – St. Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves is questioning on what grounds the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) or even the Commonwealth can intervene in the political situation in St. Kitts-Nevis. Opposition legislators have accused regional governments of remaining silent on the political stalemate in the twin-island Federation occasioned by the refusal to date of the Parliament to debate a motion of no confidence filed against the government of Prime Minister Dr. Denzil Douglas. The opposition filed the motion in December last year and took the matter to court on the grounds that the delay in tabling the motion violated their rights.
