Senior Minister in the Dominica government, Reginald Austrie, has called for a peaceful resolution to the problems now being faced in Venezuela.
His comments came during a handing over ceremony of medical supplies from the Government of Venezuela to Dominica this week.
“I would like to call for an end to the political persecution of Venezuela,” he said. “I would like to call for an end to the provocation of Venezuela.”
Austrie said Dominica does not get involved in the internal affairs of sovereign countries but believes that such matters can be resolved peacefully.
“We do not believe that civil war will solve the problems that have proven to create more problems in other parts of the world,” he contended.
Austrie also urged other countries with much more resources than Venezuela to reach out to the countries that are less fortunate.
“Not just to Dominica, but there are many other countries in the world who are really feeling the brunt of Covid-19, because they do not have the means and resources with which to fight it,” he stated.
The Senior Minister said that this gesture by Venezuela should send a signal to the rest of the world that, “it doesn’t matter how small the contribution you can make, but just to know you have friends out there looking out for you. It does go a very long way.”
Austrie thanks for your recommendation for mediation as the tensions between Venezuela and the US increases. But as you at it explain to us Sir, how come you are now being referred to as senior government minster rather than Deputy Prime Minister. In the last term you were appointed and referred to as Deputy Prime Minister and you accepted that title even if you and Skerrit knew the constitution does not provide for such a position, So tell us did it take you all that long to realize that that title you carried for so long was in fact unconstitutional. Now I say that to say that is how conflicts begin, when we indulge in unconstitutional, unlawful and abusive activities – so like you hoking for venezuela you too should be aware of your own wrong doing . BTW where is our petro caribe money and the Kalinago money???
Nice one Stress-free. This man and his failed, corrupted, immature, ignoramous, ridiculous Labour Party must get the hell out of our Dominica. These failed government is just a fake government with hypocritical jargon talk attempting to lure our people into their political illiterate mess. What a Fake Prime “Odd” Minister as has blind ministers follow him with “Foolish Pride”. The worse and most incompetent Prime Minister and Bobol government that We Dominicans have ever seen.
From Craptain to Idiots, this Fake Labour Government has failed us the people of Dominica big Time. What a hopeless, illiterate, outdated worthless Labour Party, followed by its worthless ministers and bind loyalists.
Skerrit and Labour, Pease get the hell out of our Government that you all have stained in dark, corrupted Red. Get out. “Go to Hell, Go to Hell – our Dominica is none of your Damn Business. Please Get Out, and Now.
We still hold Skerrit accountable for our Passport, Red Clinic, Bin Bobol…
Whenever this venom spitting snake is loose it only means one thing, Skerrit is on one of his foreign holidays again. He locks all you up in your homes and he defies all rules and goes on a jolly on state expenses again. No doubt he would tell you, it urgent state business he had to attend to!
If you ever needed a mask to cover your face; as most criminals like to do when caught in a crime and arrested; this might be the opportunity.
Carnival Duvet’ morning long past, but you alone can still run the streets of Dominica, playing jam-bull (John-bull) masquerade mooing like a cow.
He and Roosevelt like to get things free, whenever a handout is received they like to go in front of the camera and talk crap, as in this case.
Asks that guy what is the problem in Venezuela, and what caused it, he will not have an answer because he has no clue, he don’t know.
How can one talk about a peaceful resolve when you don’t know what is going on.
We hear Maduro is on a wanted list in the States for crimes he committed, until all such issues are resolved, how can anything in Venezuela resolve peacefully.
You all steep on, urinate, and defecate in the face of Dominicans, they still vote Labor.
Venezuelans different!
A tremendous Solidarity Nation is Dominica, Eddy Leblanc, Roosie and the present leader Mr Skerrit have continue to touch the Nerve of Consciousness. Because of USA’ hegemony, Nations not on the same footing like the U S, will be sanctioned for whim and fancy , bringing Death and Economic destruction to the poorest of the poor. The U S’ aggression against Venezuela, Cuba,Iran and the host of other Nations, have felt the brunt of what the USA have to offer negatively , the ones seeking self determination, usually have natural resources, and believe or not ,oil continues to be the main factor. Over and over again, the accusation is Drug dealing by the leaders that they want to over throw, first the Leader is Demonized by the U S administration and media,with sanction added, without People and Military support, Murder or expulsion is the end result. Our History of the Americas, is ladened and Riddled with USA’ White Supremacy monroe doctrine. C19 will definitely have sometin to…
Bob, you have a serious problem is all can say. You think is only white man that can be prejudiced. Give me a break.
Bob Denis…..wake up and smell the dirty scare-it coffee from the worse PM and failed Labour government. Dominica is in a state of poverty, Skerrit is ok happy, both he and his failed corrupted Labour government alliances. What a failed, useless bunch of fake politicians in an highly immature, nonsensical, corrupted, waste of time corrupted Labour government. After 20yrs our people and our Dominica are still in begging mode as they live in poverty created by Failed Skerrit corrupted incompetent bobol Labour Government. Roseau, our City is disgustingly dirty and ugly, Our villages are surviving with little while Skerrit and his Labour clown travel all over the world and return talking BS Nonsense that are suffering poor people continue to live jobless and no jobs. Skerrit is this failed political joker in the pack as many people laugh at his nonsense. We need Skerrit the hell out of our government, that he has reduced our people and families to beggars and in poverty. Skerrit get out.
Mr Bob, please you`re not here in our suffering Dominica, so please do not pamper us with this BS statement you made of this failed comical clown, called failed incompetent Skerrit. You have penned this nonsense insulting us Dominicans, that we have to put up with Clown PM in our government where after 20 years he has failed us. We are in poverty, no jobs, no more exports of our agriculture and we have to go before this man at his corrupted decisive, abusive Red Clinic Office to get some cash from him that we and our family will survive. This has not worked and will not worked. Silly Skerrit is just looking for fame and notice. This man is the biggest ignoramous political clown we have seen in Dominica. “Who the hell do you think you are?”
“The present leader Mr Skerrit has continue to touch the Nerve of Consciousness”. Nonsense talk. This man is a failure and has no knowledge of Socio-Economic development. He has killed our agriculture, but sells our passport and yet we are…
Bob Denis, becareful what you pen about failed politicians like your failed Skerrit. I will adjust your statement below to bring into the reality of the incompetence, immaturity and of the Bobol activities that has been going on in our Government, by this fake Odd Minister and this useless failed Labour government. This is for sure, we know it, we see the incompetence often on a daily basis. Here is what you should have penned.
“A Disastrous poverty, begging Nation is Dominica. Eddy Leblanc, Roosie, Mamo, must be sucking salt in disappointment of this immature, failed leader Mr Skerrit have continue to touch the Nerve of massive Corruption in our government and poverty of our struggling people. Because of (USA’ hegemony, Nations) Skerrit`s failure, incompetence, corruption activities that our disciplined Hon Linton who told us of the Fertlizer and other Bobol activities of this Skerrit`s government. Skerrit denied and it`s Hon Linton who exposed Dominica to the evidence. Skerrit…
Oh, sure, Trump is listening.

Is either Austrie doesn’t know or he trying to pretend that he doesn’t know that the US has indicted president Nicholas Maduro for trafficking drugs, especially cocaine to into the US and as a result, there is a reward of $15 millions for his capture or information that will lead to his capture. So Austrie please be advised accordingly because their is free money to be made. While we are at it I would like to ask Austrie, Skerrit, Emmanuel Manton and the self confessed fooled minister, Mr. Ian Douglas, for a report of the Venezuela coffee plant in One Mile, Portsmouth. Also I would like to admonish Austrie and government Ministers, who are friends of boat owners to be very careful because the US has three (3) war boats in the Caribbean waters and we don’t them to be on any fishing expedition around the Venezuela water at this time.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/miami.cbslocal.com/2020/03/26/sources-venezuela-to-be-designated-state-sponsor-of-terrorism-us-to-charge-maduro/amp/
if Austrie have sense all he has to do is expose all he knows about Maduro, Skerrit and others , he will get 15 million easily, then he can take some of that money to give Dominicans a real stimulus package, but nah he afraid of skerrit .
He’s to scared of that little teacher from Vieille Case. Having said that, he is too deep in it himself.
@Stressfree, You seems to have lots of crap why you take them on and collect the 15 million dollars to share it out among Dominicans go on make your day be a hero!
Get the hell out of here… Understand the situation in Venezuela. Clearly you listen to the Fox news type station and is misinformed.
D some research on Venezuela
@ fake Possie Direct, why you using my name to post your junk? You think we don’t read and would thumbs you up based on the use of my name? Why not use your usual name of Linclown or Darel Tete?
“I would like to call for an end to the political persecution of Venezuela,” he said. “I would like to call for an end to the provocation of Venezuela.” DUDE VENEZUELA PERSECUTING ITS OWN PEOPLE POLITICALLY why dont u call for Venezuela to stop what its doing to its own people?
“We do not believe that civil war will solve the problems that have proven to create more problems in other parts of the world,” he contended. isnt the Venezuelan government the cause of any civil war that may arise in that country?
“Not just to Dominica, but there are many other countries in the world who are really feeling the brunt of Covid-19, because they do not have the means and resources with which to fight it,” he stated. so why you didnt tell the Venezuelan government to donate the supplies to Ecuador or why dont you send the supplies to Ecuador?
Austrie, a sitting minister in the government penned this Nonsense, as if he is painfully begging for food to feed the people of Dominica. This failed minister said this rubbish. “Austrie also urged other countries with much more resources than Venezuela to reach out to the countries that are less fortunate.”
This is a damn insult by this fake Labour Government, to our people, to our country. It is shameful after 20 long corrupted years this clown has the guts to disrespect us with a blatant desperate begging to feed us. Where the hell have you and your incompetent Skerrit been? You’ll are fakes, disgusting, politically illiterate, ignoramous of socio-economic development. In other words all these years in government you labour clowns know not how to run a country, but abuse our money, travel the damn world, enjoy and accommodate yourselves and now you`ll clowns have failed our people. You Austrie clown now begging for “food to the countries that are less fortunate.?” Is this…
I think the leaders of the labor government should look at the mess they are making in Dominica like the thermal energy plant that was to sell electric to another island which does not and will never exist .The stupid airport plan where 4 million dollars promised to some people at Wesley after boasting that they had sixty million dollars to pay for lands , and stop interfering in the affairs of Cuba and America , china and Taiwan , stop supporting dictators in south America like Maduro where they go begging
I would like to call for an end to the political persecution of the Venezuelan PEOPLE. The people Maduro and his cabal are making miserable everyday. Venezuela is not Maduro, Venezuela is the Venezuelan people and they DO NOT want Maduro.
Everything this regime does is to stifle opposition. They dissolved the democratically elected national assembly which was elected by an over two thirds majority and instituted a completely government controlled constituent assembly. They ran fraudulent elections after they unilaterally nullify the candidacy of several oppositions candidates.
This regime of drug traffickers and corrupt individuals needs to be removed. They will never voluntarily relinquish power because they know that once they no longer have diplomatic protection or the protection of the military they are going to face severe punishment for all their crimes.
Austrie how do you borrow 100 million US dollars from a friend knowing full well you cannot pay it back. Then use excuse of maria for the friend tell you don’t worry about it only to see you two years later having lavish party with reggae artist and gospel singers and money wasting lime crazy while the friend cannot feed its people. Dominica is yet to sent one container of food and supplies to help that friend. All you guys do is come make public statements because you benefited personally from Venezuela. With friends like you who need enemies? Taking all that money from a man Dominica is just as guilty for Venezuela problems. In layman terms. If your wife or kids gave me 100 million of your money behind your back then i tell them i have problems and cannot pay yet you see me partying and having a ball spending and giving woman money build house all over. When you find out your family give me all that money even build me a warf what would you do?
Transparency and Accountability in Government is the people’s cry in those less fortunate countries Senior Minister Reginald Austrie is referring to. Why is this basic behavioural attitude / practice a bane in Politicians’ life?
TRANSPARENCY – ensuring information is available that can be used to measure the authorities’ performance and to guard against any possible misuse of powers. In that sense, transparency serves to achieve ACCOUNTABILITY, which holds the authorities responsible for their actions.
“I would like to call for an end to the political persecution of Venezuela,” he said. “I would like to call for an end to the provocation of Venezuela.”
Austrie, who is behind the political persecution of Venezuela?
“Austrie said Dominica does not get involved in the internal affairs of sovereign countries”.
Austrie you contradicting yourself. Earlier you implied that some foreign country is involved in the political provocation of Venezuela and now you talking about their internal affairs?
“We do not believe that civil war will solve the problems that have proven to create more problems in other parts of the world,” he contended.”
So Austrie it’s now a civil war? You trying to sound confused and you daypalaying, but hold your breath because the fire is coming. Just hope you Austrie saved all receipts and on the Memo part of the cheque you stated what payment was for?
Well, his profession before becoming politician was a master “watchman” (so called security guard) at Ross University School of Medicine in Portsmouth.
One do not need a brain to do that; nevertheless, he will tell you he studied chemistry in Guyana which is a lie!
The same as Roosevelt claimed he graduated in some university in the South of the United States; nevertheless, when we check to find out if it is true, the university said there is no records of a graduate Student name Roosevelt Skerrit.
With uneducated people like then claim to be running things in Dominica the country will never be better economically!
If I graduate college with with a degree in chemistry, why would I chose to do a watchman job; rather than use my skills I acquired as a chemist to do something important.
Any idiot can be a watchman; when the watchman sees a thief stealing (thieving) something all they have to do is scream “put it back; leave it; thief it is not yours…
Mr. Austrie, why has the US government put a price of US $15 million on the head of the leader of Venezuela, mr. Maduro because of his alleged involvement in cocaine trafficking. I can not believe they do that out of frivolity, do you? He is a wanted man Reginald and I’m sure your friends in Possie know that.
.
Always looking for negative. When will you all learn to love. Awa God have mercy on us.
Fool you would not know the truth even if it slapped you in your face, so change that name. You sound more like a Boomboom Fly, now that would be a good name for you!
You can not love evil.
The Truth be told….? Stop being ridiculous and go visit our villages and see the poverty. Also, while at it go ask the farmers who are now crying in poverty because your failed silly Skerrit so called Prime (Odd) Minister has killed or agriculture, no more bananas to the UK and your silly Skerrit now open this devious fraudulent Red Clinic where our people que to receive bread and cash to feed their children. Skerrit has killed our economy, our agriculture, our villages, our farmers as they now live in poverty and you pen BS nonsense about this failed silly Skerrit. This man is a waste of time. He should get lost. Tell him “Go to Hell, Go to Hell, away from our Damn Business and leave us. Get the hell out of our Dominica. Skerrit and his corrupt Labour Government and this failed fake Odd Minister has failed our people. Get the hell out of our Dominica Out!.
Our Dominica in a state of disrepair, corruption, Bobol, a failed immature Odd Minister and a rotten failed Labour government.
Mr Fake, immature “The Truth be Told”. Well here it is.
We want truth, decency in government in politics with no Voleur Bin Bobol, Fertlizer Bobol, Red Clinic Bobol, where your failed Skerrit insulted our poor people, the mothers, children adults etc who ask to come to Skerrit to receive our states money at your corrupted deceptive Red Clinic. Skerrit has no sense of what development of people means much less for the our state, Dominica. This man is just a flamboyant idiot who presents himself to gain fame and fanfare from his blind friends like “The Truth Be Told”. Well, this is where we draw the line and that The real Truth is Told, Has been told.
This is the deception, corruption, ineptitude we see in our government lead by this fake immature Skerrit and his loyal misfits. They too help this fake Skerrit to destroy our Dominica and have our families as beggars up at the Red Dirty Clinic managed by this fake Skerrit.
Need Skerrit out of our Dominica. Immature to be Prime…
But what Austrie said there nou Bodier? Austrie sounded like someone that is very very scared. One thing I know for sure is that Maduro is all but gone! The only question is when? Could it be this week, next month? I don’t think it will be much longer. When Maduro is gone the new President of China will have to ask all those corrupt government ministers around the world about the Petro Caribe Cheque books they have, from captain to cook. Not only that but Maduro, who has been indicted by the US for drug trafficking and money laundering will be pressured to give names of corrupt leaders in the region that helped him and to commit crimes. Boy based on what I know there will be weeping and knashing of teeth and all now, many cannot sleep peacefully because they feel their doors might knock in the middle of the night.
im sorry to say austrie but u always look like u forcing to pass feaces..
Give Reggie a break, the man may be constipated you know.
Verbal diarrhoea on one end and constipation on the other end. Sounds about right.
Bulldog,you are calling for ,according to you ” an end to the political persecution of Venezuela “.
What about an end to the political persecution of Lennox Linton here at home.
All Lennox is doing ,is trying to free Dominica from the mess you all have created.
Bulldog your words are falling on deaf ears.
According to someone, you are just a big ,empty,five hundred gallon drum rolling down a hill making a lot of noise.
Now listen to that, Austrie says “I would like to call for an end to the political persecution of Venezuela.” Austrie clearly can’t be serious! The ‘political persecution’ to start of with is not against Venezuela but rather against the current administration headed by that rogue Maduro. Most countries in the world are rightfully disgusted with what is going on in Venezuela under Maduro! Having said that, what happened in DA in December is just as bad as what happened in Venezuela. But our Dschungel hero Austrie sees fit to side again with his Venezuelan friend. By the way Austrie, what happened to the $100 million dollars that went astray under your watch of PetroCaribe Dominica. Please, do enlighten us!
You want other countries to reach out to you who are less fortunate, really? Didn’t you realise you were less fortunate when you went on your recent election campaign spending spree? I do not believe you all are less fortunate. I believe you all are greedy and wish to live beyond your means. Tell me Mr. Minister, what is the smallest and poorest country in the Western hemisphere doing paying for reggae artist and American evangelists to come and perform in this little poor island on the scale that you all did during recent elections? You are not less fortunate, you are wasteful and it is time you all begin to pay for your lifestyle instead of other country’s taxpayers giving you all money to waste. 20 years of loans, grants, donations and what do you have to show, except to keep asking for more, more, more? Venezuela hospitals currently need all the help that they can get but here you are taking again. Dominica should be donating to Venezuela’s hospitals!
Why hate and be negative at this time? Where are you now? On mars? At this time, you still negative? God have mercy on us for some cannot let go of their selfish I, Me, Myself attitude. Humble yourself and pray for others. You are only hurting yourself. Pray and forgive. Let go and let God do his judging and work. Try not say anything you have no proof. Hope u never get in the position where something negative and untrue is said about u or your loved ones. Change your attitude.
The Real Truth Be Told
No proof of? Are you one of the three blind monkeys? Open your eyes man! How many houses Austrie own in Dominica? How many houses Skerrit own in Dominica alone? You think that can be done with wage of a Minister. Open your damn eyes and watch them fellows. They are the only guests at Kempinski’s restaurant and bar every second night. You think they can afford a cheque there of $1,000 a night on their wages? Open all your damn eyes! They all laughing behind your backs!!!
Ohhhhhhhhh……”The Truth be Told”, Get Lost, Go to Hell with Skerrit…you still negative and a blind bat that you are.
Get lost with your failed imature, incopetentSkerrit.
The truth be Told, this is what we expect of you and you seem to be this blind clown who is so much in a lost dream that he knows not what really is happening in our Dominica under this incompetent Skerrit. The truth is you are this blind ridiculous fake following failed Skerrit to what ever nonsense he talks or what hopelessly he does to our ailing economy and our Dominica, where many families mainly in the rural villages are in poverty, no jobs, no cash, no opportunities because this ridiculous, incompetent Skerrit has killed and closed down their agricultural business where they were able to take care of their children for school and their families.
When are you blind illiterate Boom Boom Flies going to open you eyes and use your brains to observe the level of poverty & bondage our poor families going through, because of incompetent Skerrit. Skerrit is not, I repeat, Skerrit is not leadership material, he goes with the flow he gets from his idiotic clowns. They all lol lol at him.
Let us Tell You the Truth, with this nonsensical, and blind loyalty of yours.
Where have you been over these failed 20years of this failed corrupted labour government and this failed immature Odd Minister, Your Skerrit. “Let truth Truth Be Told” of That Abusive Red Clinic and this failed Cabinet Ministers and corrupted Bobol Labour Government. Too much deception and corruption in this camp of Skerrit Lead Corrupted Labour Government.
We need a change in Dominica as Skerrit and his failed Labour government has ridiculed us, reduced our Dominica to paupers, begging and this insulting Bobol Red Clinic. This Odd Minister has taken advantage of our suffering people, parents who are in need of decent government to attend to their needs for their families and children.
Skerrit, get the hell out, you are biggest failure in government in Dominica and the Caribbean. Your stint has been this “Pappyshow” that has not worked. Skerrit, Get the Hell out of our government. Take your wasted…
