CASTRIES, St. Lucia, CMC – The St. Lucia government Tuesday described as “false” some of the questions being raised by newly elected leader of the main opposition United Workers Party (UWP), Allen Chastanet regarding St. Lucia’s membership of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA). The government said it is untrue to suggest St. Lucia was joining ALBA by stealth, noting that the Prime Minister held several interviews on PetroCaribe and ALBA and announced through the Throne Speech that the island would join ALBA. “Clearly, Chastanet is blissfully unaware of the fact that three other members of the OECS, namely Dominica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Antigua and Barbuda, have been members of ALBA for over four years – over five in the case of Dominica.
