Take you out of that house you now occupy at taxpayers’ expense and you instantaneously become a nobody, Mr. Savarin. You have made yourself an errand boy of Skerrit. Not one word about the widespread corruption in office of your scumbag partner in corruption and the stubborn refusal to implement electoral reforms.
It would have been a lot easier to speak about your experience in year 1979, how it relates the current situation, and you could advise the labor government to resign. This could be the best advice you can give knowing what the end result is going to be.
Eeeef I was de (next) pri-minista……. I wud strip you of that title DAH (Dominica Award of Honour). NOTHING about you in the past or now is Honourable.
Mr. President you failed to say that the people have been asking for electoral deform for years, you and Skeritt have ignored the people for too long.
Linton should be arrested and charged with treason and locked up. The man is evil and a troublemaker since when he was at the Grammar school. He is highly in debt and wants some of that CBI money to pay off his debts. They are accumulating. De man is desperate and hungry. Any port for a storm. We do not want any ugly man to govern us in this beautiful country of ours. He said they will win the elections yet, he is creating havoc and destruction in the country. He told Dominicans that when he gets into power they will each get $25,000.00. These Dominicans are hungry for that $25,000.00. Any murder committed should be addressed to Linton in order to hang him at Stockfarm.
So you admit to delaying and defying cries for reform until violence occurred. What about when protests were peaceful? You wait until roads blocked and and things burning in the street to address the county. You are a coward and a fraud Savarin! Leader of state my ass! Talk about the reprehensible behaviour of those in power.
Not surprised that you are ‘satisfied’ the voters list is ready! Despite an obviously skewed number of eligible voters. You still haven’t addressed the voters ID! You sounding just like Skerrit.
…And that church and state marjee have to stop!
Savarin:
I hope you are reading these comments. When you decided to shut down an entire country it was justified because you felt you had the democratic right to fight and protest. Why do you think the people are now protesting? For that same democratic rights!! You kept your mouth shut, never responded to the citizens cry for you to address them, nor did you acknowledge them. Yet you have the audacity to come here with this BS? That’s all you got? Your address had no substance, it fell on deaf ears.
Additionally, there was enough time for you to respond to the people, yet you refused. Now do you think they want to hear what you have to say? Your speech had no substance. You just reiterated everything we already know, yet never addressed the real situation which has us where we are right now.
SHAME ON YOU! YOU AND THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION ARE A DISGRACE TO OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY!
Stop being Skerrit’s stooge and redeem yourself while you still have time. You are not going to live forever you know. And please, stop dyeing your hair, nobody cares if you are grey at your age, no need for vanity again.
Stop whining Savarin, you had a chance to take the matter in hands and advise Skerrit accordingly. You chose to stick with your master and now you will suffer the consequences.
So Savarin saw videos of Malzaire being “harrassed” (by Dominicans daring to ask him a question, even while opening the car door for him), and Marigot burning but he missed the Al Jazeera videos parts 1 and 2? He didn’t hear his fellow country man OJ reveal Skerritt’s master plan to import voters or that 90% of state resources go into the pocket of Skerritt and Nanthan?
The whole world has reacted to these videos but all you saw was malzaire and marigot. You forgot too all the cries and recommendations for electoral reform for 10 past years?
If you really want peace postpone elections and clean up that list. If not get your popcorn and a comfy chair because you have many more videos to condemn!
You forget that you taught citizens how to fight for their rights!
SO charles angelo savarin after you protest all your protest and was not arrested for it, now it is lawless to protest. So just because the odds would not be in the favor of your government it is not ok.
charles angelo savarin you are by far the worst president ever in This our beautiful island of Dominica. It is in the interest of the party which you served with that you act bias and treat the people of Dominica unfairly. The people has been begging you to speak and you have been refusing to do so only speaking now and blowing smoke out your a$$.
dlp has been confident that they have been working sufficiently within the past 20yrs in Dominica it should not be so difficult to handle the objections and allow a legal polling day. We the people have no issues going to the polls. All we want is that our true decisions be recognized and that we get a legal prime minister. Give electoral reform and we will accept whatever the results are, but until then nothing you or dlp does is…
According to Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit “Go to hell” boss. I think you are already deep in hell with Skerrit and the cabal of satan
Worthless President.
I am a Christian. For those of you who are saying we should just stay in our prayer closet, watch injustice happening all around us and say nothing, you are wrong. Jesus did not lie down and play dead. In, fact his death was his choice, he could have said no to death that day. He stood up for righteousness no matter what. He said what he said and many people did not like him for it.
I am a follower of Jesus Christ and I say give the people of Dominica electoral reform now. I am not condoning violence. Not at all. What looks like violence to you Mr. President is years of pent up frustration. You caused this and you have the power to sort this whole issue out. I see you looking around for the person to solve this problem but it’s you! You are that person. Do the righteous thing for all of us. Let peace prevail in our Country.
Why don’t you spare us your waffle. We all know that you are Skerrits faithful puppet. Your days are numbered…!
No mention of Skerrit saying “pour hot water on opposition” or “call them traitors” or the missing funds, or Agitate’s “snipers and navy seals” or Aljazeera investigations?
Boy move dere! You might think this is a storm in a teacup, but people are waking up!
Garbage… what utter words of garbage coming from this man’s mouth. When you feel and finally decided to represent the civilians it will be too late, as Dominica will be like water vapour evaporated from the ocean. You’re doing nothing, as representative of the populace, to protect their rights against a *KLEPTOCRATIC* gov’t.
Watching in silence, signifies the evaporation of good governance, neoliberalism and equality within the island.
returns to the ocean through precipitation
President Saverin if you could be called such, you are just a fake… You a are just nooooo head of state. You are the head of the snake. With your stupid meetings… You shot down down for months….. You are very unfair n a foot mat of labour….

Charles Savarin is president of Dominica then? Stupes tan.
Charles Savarin is only the president of the Security guard of Roosevelt Skerrit and president of the Skerrit gang. Otherwise my mama always told me if there were no guards there would be no thieves
Whose interest in Savarim protecting you, Dominic’s or Skerrit No doubt it is Skerrits and on return Skerrit protects him
Saverin you sound like someone shoving there finger while you talking. Must be either skerritt or tony Astaphans. You know how they have the puppets in tbe puppet show.
What an empty message. Are you a president or some junior journalist?
Savarin, you pretentious old bag of wind. We can see right through you. It is Roosevelt Skerrit pulling the strings
Mr. Savarin you forced a Prime Minister out of office. Now you want to preach as if you better than the protesters. You using big words and rolling your ‘r’ when you speak. You must respect people boss. We are citizens just like you. And any of us can be president, if somebody with your past can be president. Jah knows.
Charles Savarin. Reprehensible behavior? What is more reprehensible burning tires in the street or shutting down an entire country?
I won’t listen to this message, because I do know that the events leading to general election is the failure to give the people of Dominica electoral reform, and the people should protest loudly against that as of now!!
Skerrit
Whey is the money?
Whey is di money?
Whey is di money?
Charles Savarin. You are not satisfied? Are you saying you have not seen enough chaos yet? Ok.
