Charles Savarin is the new president of Dominica.
He was elected by 19 members of parliament on Monday morning.
The United Workers Party (UWP) did not attend the sitting.
Absent from the government’s side were Ian Douglas, Julius Timothy, Ronald Toulon and Tammy Jean Jacques.
The UWP had said that Savarin’s nomination is unconstitutional but Attorney General, Levi Peter, argued the nomination and election are within the bounds of the constitution.
Savarin resigned last week as a government minister and senator.
He will be inaugurated on Tuesday, October 1.
i say who cares go home and get a life
DBS radio needs to give the opposition radio time to give thier side of the problem with the election of the president. Let us hear both sides.
Didn’t you hear the host say the matter had been laid to rest ?
I don’t think some people understand why most Dominicans did not want mr.Savarin as president. It’s not because he is not able to do the job (to be proven). there fear majority of Dominicans have is how fair and balance will he be. He was part of the labour party govenment for years, what make us think he will go against the prime miniter at all. No matter what the prime minister do right now, he will always have the president on his side good or bad the government will be supported by the president. That wont be a good thing and that is most Dominicans fear. I am an independent and there are many good things the PM has done for Dominica but there a bad ones as well. We need a neutral person as president and not someone who can be used as a puppet. No disrespect to MR.Savarin but he can potencially become one. We should all suport the PM when he do good and let him know when he do bad but it’s not so in Dominica. For some people he can do no wrong and for others he can do no right, that’s total rubbish, we should all be open minded an neutral (independent). I think the Pm should forget about how the opposition acted and listen to the voice of the people on this one, not that politician in Dominca do listen, but this one is hard for people who understand what’s at steak. For what it is, I do hope all goes good.
Dictator vybez swimming around d island
I and my family will not taking part in any national day event because we don’t have a president.
wat u think uwp shud pay you a visit now charlo with a crowd like wat u did to the other presidents some years back. history has a way of repeating its self.
I can’t wait till skerrit start to do what he want. And they start to complain all those who supporting ignorance.
We reached the next level people!!! Soon we will find out what the next level really is!!!
I wonder who that was workers president in 1995 – 2000, i know is not a labourite or a Freedomite
This is what you call ruling with an Iron Fist, anything Skerrit wants he gets. The constitution is now null and void in skerrit’s world.
Congrats mr Savarin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why didn’t the opositon nominated someone. they had enough time to do so. what is wrong with the uwp, they complains about everything. What are they doing for the country? stop making noise and get some work done for love of self and country? Mr. Linton remember that you a a father and a husband. please calm down and wait on the lord.
Great job Ian, you are a smart fellah bro, you know Rossie and Mike even RDB will never stand for that nonsense so nice to know you carried on the legacy of the men who made you a man. I am proud of you Ian and Nurse Dauglas must be happy to know you didn’t take part in this boish crap skerrit is promoting in Dominica.You will live long brother and stay strong but open your eyes Ian cause they are planing to kick you out brother, God bless
What great job? Ian and the others were out if state on official business and would have voted in favour had they been there.
what part of africa did the dominicans come from? i am glad i always say i am a trini. good bye dominica. never to come back until you change the current govt.
By my calculation 89% of the comments here do not support Savarin for President of Dominica. But sadly this rejection cannot affect a man with the guts that he possesses. This man, you may recall, spent over a week in maternity ward at the Princess Margaret Hospital with mothers and babies for company. Yes Dominicans he was in the maternity ward and he knows I saw him there.
why did eugenia not do the same thing to maynard,brian and savarin that she did to baba.?
miss charles is responsible. the ayatolla should have been put in jail for ripping off govt. funds in brussels.blame the freedom party.
The incompetent opposition, did not have a nomination. Eddison James was there with Charo brnging down PJ and supporting the civil servants in the 79 strike that close the island. So they all corrupt.
all u labourites good wicked to wi to be supporting charlo….awa wi papa…..
Hey where’s my favorite blogger Francisco dods in this debate
skerrit is Pm………..CHARLO IS PRESIDENT..SMH…WHO CAN RUN OUT OF DOMINICA….all u beter start running….who cant run well….hmmmmmmmmm
jahhhhhhh boiiiiiiii……..look a set of wicked people wi…..awa wi skerrit u and ur labour party…doh worry u kno,jus dont worry…..and dem wicked labourites be very careful…very careful
Domincan please stop wishing dominica bad, you all a putting a curse on the island. How can it prosper with these evil thoughts wishing each other bad. God don’t like ugly stop the hatred and the jealousy they are crimes.
Tell Skerrit that!
If is one thing, that PM know how to make Dominicans spend their money and for him to collect VAT!!!!
That topic going and rage on for a few months on the talk shows and to everyone that call and buy a top up it going and have a 15% VAT for d government. The talking industry , the blogging industry and the social media industry making d government collect plenty money.
So now if PM get little Intel that Taiwan give UWP some money for their campaign and he decide to make all you start spend – pay for bus ride like what happen on Sunday , buy T-shirt, buy drinks, buy chicken, give supporters money to pay for light and internet so computer can use to vote on DNO plenty times in a day and other like my good friends that coming all your meetings dem for d rum and d party and you suddenly stop d flow of d money you know Dominicans going and kick hells on all you. And you know is that all you going and do. And all you going and start paranoid and have recorder under people house in village to know if they be for all you for real. lol
All you hand bound to open and open early!! Those lawsuits by Tony going and make all u on d back foot wait , mark my word.
Like Charlo had say in 2000: Workers by buy ; Workers can sell , but Workers cannot win Charlo !!!
DNO ask Mr. James how does he feel after asking Senator Savarin to follow him out of the house when he was making his farewell speech as UWP leader? Boy they really say careful what you wish/ask for … cause you will just get it. You seeee where Charlo is now Mr. James? Why you go and ask d man to come out of d house – de Pink House. Look now de man in d Big White House in time for d Tourist season that PM say will be a Tourist attraction!!!! Way papa.
Hahahahaha, you must be an insider of the Labour Party to tell us all what they do. The only thing you didn’t tell us is about the money that was spent to bring people down to vote on dead people name.
i can never vote uwp. because everything they do is just oppose, oppose, and oppose. wen you are opposing BRING FORWARD SOLUTIONSSSSSS. Their whole campaign is about opposing whatever the govt decide. sad… More Skerrit, More Charlo and More TIMOTHY For Roseau North. Best workers don’t contest Roseau North. A landslide victory is brewing for Timothy. #Labour!!!
Sa morca tan la….So on a serious note eh serious note mweh diw. Everything is set up now for a communist government regime. The Attorneys, Pastors, Priests, have been bought now the 3 signatures Mr. Skerrit Need in order to be a dictator is that of the President, Attorney General and Speaker of the house. All of whom have been … Fill in the blanks. -goes back to SMH-
In my early teens, I was a student at DGS when Mr. Savarin gave a speech that became part of his efforts to remove Patrick John from power because of corruption and John’s attempts to become Dominica’s supreme ruler. We all know of the 45 day strike, the subsequent attack on the crowd of Demonstrators at government headquarters, leaving Phillip Timothy dead and many others injured, the removal of PJ from power, the attack on police headquarters that again resulted in death and many injuries. In my memory, that was the last time government in Dominica was involved in raising arms against the population, and yes, Charlo was in the middle of the whole thing.
I am reading about guns and snipers on roof tops in DA and that makes me sick to the stomach. And again, Charlo is in the middle of it. Are we blind? Have we allowed our offspring to become that ignorant? Are we so far gone that we are embracing the return of our country’s worse nightmares? What’s even more frightening, in 1979 there was the Army and the Police Force on opposing sides. Today, there is one armed force behind one supreme ruler. Government guns pointed at an unarmed population can lead to nothing but disaster.
one thing i do know charles Savarin has never win an election so mr Pm things on this words you have violated the rights o fthe people.He was always fuss on the poeple.
The 47 days strike would not have been a success without the support of the general civil service body and the CSA legal adviser at the time. The strike was for a just cause. Why is Savarin the only one bearing blame of whatever happened. Had the law which was averted been passed today there would not be a DNO. Think about that.
Charles Savarin may have led the 47 days strike but he would not have the power to do it without the support of the civil servants and his legal adviser at the time. Why should he be the only one to bear the burden of what happened. The strike was for a just cause. Let us move forward and let bygones be bygones.
They not even realizing that it was the same man and the strike who revolutionize working conditions in Dominica…
During that period, the whole industrial wourld was Union and strike CRAZY Remember Union reps were sent to do courses to create industrial unrest
what was the just cause, enlighten us, because the only cause for the strike was to get the poor malawey out because the so called rich of D/ca could not stand to see him there governing the country.
..Bygones my rass.. didn’t you hear him back Tony months ago live on the air for a “BUCKET BRIGRADE” of stones to reign down on Dominicans? Charles Saverin is not fit for the presidency. He most certainly had help, but he was the agitator, instigator for Freedom Party to come in. My issue with this man is that over the years he continues to echo violence, impatience, intolerance for any other view than his and his crew. He is NOT what the Constitution demands of a man in the Presidency period.
Note to self: Do not organize any rally or protest in Dominica.So Lennox boy be careful you are not blamed in the future for any unrest…
Yes so true….whole family members were with Savirin then when he stood for them. Now people who don’t know anything want to criticize him. Even those who were there and helped stone people today want to say otherwise to suit their political needs now, talking as though Savirin did it all alone……..I tell you!
You marry di girl charlie is the president? I don’t know him nuh but I know he marry a girl and he say it was a christening but it was a wedding six o clock in di morning. I don’t know him but I know he lying long time.
LMAOF…
This comment is pure brilliance! Sir/Madam I’m sending you several virtual beers. From now on I’ll be referring to our new president as “President You Marry Di Charlie.” Thank you for a serious belly laugh…
Sir– you have made my day! and even my week with this comment. I second Applause’s motion to send you several virtual beers. It is a pity i cannot buy you some real beers. You, Sir/ Madam, are made of sunshiny, rainbowy BRILLIANCE. Thank you for the best laugh i have had this year
Well it has happened!!!! And what’s the lesson…… young people ……..this is the lesson taught here today. You do not have to be honest, honourable, educated, qualified or know how to pronounce words ending in tion or sion to be the president of our beloved state and also receive the highest honour in the land.
All you have to do is be Charles Savrin!!! and of course associate yourself with people who will dictate to people of Dominica that you get into the positions that you want regardless of how immoral and unpopular the decision may be.
Yes young people welcome to DOMINICA’S POLITICS 101. I hope you enjoyed your lesson!!!!!
How ridiculous can we get? Based on the comments I have read, there is no justification to oppose the Presidency of His Excellency Charles Angelo Savrin.
All I have read is Political talking Points. H.E. Charles Savarin stands out as the most powerful and popular Dominica out of political office in the history of the Commonwealth of Dominica.
To be so powerful and popular outside of political office, one has to be able unify, not a divide people. This is an undisputed fact of life.
All other theory is just political machinations.
more lies!
ah ah ah my fellow Dominicans allu know that not right , our prime minister just doing wat he want as he plz………im not for any of the parties but mr Savarin is not the right man 4 the job…..i will never support this nonsense ….
thats cuz u r a fool
My dere follow what has happened for the 14 days and see if is the PM that is doing what he wants or that the UWP is once again trying to undermined a governing OFFICE of the state
having the speaker of the house and president at your disposal, the system gonna be bias. Any amendments PM want to make whether good or bad. First of all the labour party got the majority and the last resort which is the president who has the power to made decision and not sign anything that’s not right based on judgement.Well we all know where mr serevin allegiance lies. How can a democratic system work like that? Lets wait and see how things plays out next general election.
If there is a next election haha
Charles Savarin was a hero in 1970s suddenly this turn to be opposite for the same rights of the people he fought for and with the same persons of Eddison & Linton whose rights he secured. Give the whole history not part.apray for our country.
Can you spell out those rights which were under threat ? Can you also educate the young people as to what has become of those rights after he came to power and what is the state of those rights now?
if he was your hero he was not mine
i ain’t changing Government..UWP to desperate and besides they have a miserable track record.
There may be TWO parties, but is there not anyone else from either party that would STAND OUT and make the CHANGE that we DESPERATELY need?
zor pa febb..savarin?? haha..dominik fini bat!!! workerrzzz
I will walk out of any function that Savarin is at, I will not be at any activity he’s at, or else I will BOOOOOO him.
SHAME on Savarin on the anniversary of ROSIE DOUGLAS DEATH?
No one will miss you when you walk……..
Oh Shut Up!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to President Charles Savarin.
Thank you for your unending comittment to your country.
May you be blessed with good health as you continue to serve our beloved Dominica
commitment to himself and name more like
That’s just wrong. The president cannot resign as a minister last week and be elected president this week. This is not Russia! And I am a neutral here too. I always speak and support when the govt do good. That move is literally a disrespect to Dominicans. The president is not exactly as important as the prime minister, in fact, I don’t even really know what the president does or why we have one, but I do know that this here is dead wrong. I did not support Linton being a journalist with political allegiance, and I do not support a president who is blatantly biased and has allegiance to the ring party, obviously.
of course its not Russia, its Africa!
I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT. How can a minister resign and become president within one week? Is that constitutional? This is better than Russia. “That move is literally a disrespect to Dominicans.” Of course, the president is not as important as the prime minister. “I don’t even really know what the president does or why we have one” ME NEITHER.
uwp will not succeed because their intentions are no good. And, by the way, the dno propaganda campaign is not working.
Utter Rubbish
People STOP COMPLAINING, START CONCENTRATING. Roosevelt has good examples in CASTRO, CHAVEZ, and the other COMMUNIST COUNTRIES like CHINA. VOTE! Some of you TALK and you may not even be registered to VOTE. You better CONFIRM your REGISTRATION, DO NOT be SWAYED, VOTE!
Remember Dominica is your beloved country as you say, if you love your country stop doing that nonsense…
You write but do you not reads before you post it?
Remember that other people around the world is reading this.
Be careful because of your hatred and anger you will destroy your ever so loving country Dominica.
You mean the same China uwp trying to get friendly with?
Big man things alone that going on in this country!
Where should I start?! First and foremost I have no issues with Mr. Savarin however I do believe that he is to politically involved to be the president of Dominica. Wasn’t he the one who lead the coups against Patrick John and shut down Dominica for days?!!! I just believe that our president should not be so political…or even deeply involved in the political system! Thats just my view!
What did Patrick John do for Dominica?
Not a lot, but that does not make Savarin a good President.
Maybe Charles is SECRETLY PLANNING to OVERTHROW Roosevelt. Who knows how DIRTY minds really work. Do not UNDER ESTIMATE an UNDERDOG.
OK, I guess de Savarin padner cannot be president, right? Because I reading de comments there and I lost eh, I doh know what to believe…
Do not make laugh. If you have a mind of your own, follow it.
all you too bad!!! Dont pay attention to the facts and just being one sided. Most of you dont have much knowledge of Charles Savrin background and just being brainwashed that he is not wanted and you go with the flow.HAVE A MIND OF YOUR OWN, WOULD YA??
TO UWP – Please focus on raising your money for camapaign and dont get caught with your pants down. Please DO NOT waste you all time challenging the constitutional right of the new president and waste the little money you all just finish raising. This might just be one form of distraction put there to throw you guys off.
MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION- FOCUS ON NEXT ELECTION.
I guess the facts that people should not pay attention to is the constitution, because those are the facts that have our attention. clearly it means nothing to you.
Are u familiar with the constitution? If u are then please….? Direct me/us to where it says this is unconstitutional.
Inform yourself and stop repeating!
If they get caught with their pants down again,
its going to be more stick on them . . again.
I think you need a mind of your own
And all you say Ian doh have balls?
Over the past few months the balls seem to have grown to the size of two breadfruits man.I am so happy, he seem to have taken a stance.
SHOW THEM IAN THAT YOU ARE FINALLY A MAN WITH BIG BALLS.
He has footballs and basketballs now.Better late than never.
HE IS NO LONGER SINGING ”I Shall Not Be Moved”.
Last time he told Skerrit Hell No. Get another person to sing for you. My footballs and basketballs have grown now.
LOL – evidently he displayed them today
To all you foolish people, Hon. Ian Douglas was absent from the Parliament because he was away on Ministerial business….so was Hon. Julius Timothy.
I mean you guys are ridiculously “stooooooopid” Damn!
Alas alas get the facts straight before you all talk. Ian is out on state business. The man is in Colombia
you cannot have a man like that for president. the so political! he will more divide the country than unite it.
We go see.
Sad day indeed for Dominica. He is not my president (small ‘p’ intentional), and I won’t be standing up for him. I’m sorry for those who support Skerrit blindly. As for some of those so-called lawyers – continue to shut up or sing for your supper. Savarin hit the highest note in his singing for Skerrit, he got his reward, so those so-called intelligent people without integrity, you know what to do in order to get money/power/position. Savarin ‘mal twavay’ that’s why he’s helping Skerrit break the law. Sorry to say it, but Dominica has a bunch of SELFISH people.
That’s some serious ‘mal twavay’
He mal twavay his way to become The Legitimately President of his country (capital P conventional).
I looked at the constitution and don’t know what law breaking you referring to. But, I have a 10 cents to give UWP if they want to file another case!
Dear Mr Prime Minister and Cabinet : if your intention was to hurt your people YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED beyond your wildest expectations; Many of us had moved on – but the hurts have been reopened
I remember the hospital in particular – those who died in all wards; mothers in labour; this m…ster had no compassion not even for the sick who had done him no harm ‘THE NURSES WILL NOT WORK’
The HOSPITAL without lights people uncared for rotting alive; 47 days without attention – relatives blockaded from coming to Roseau AND I remember patients administering medication to patients too much too much
you who were not there even if you let your imagination runs wild it will not even be half the story
Give people the first part of the story. Why? did it happen? Lennox & Eddison were also in the struggle.Stop misleading
Its only the truth as I LIVED it – you are free to question the truth that you don’t know about
now tell your truth so I can be educated
da choo what yu saying is utter rubbish eddison james was in the farming biznes do u remember that well if dont know what yu saying shut up
he was not in politics as yet during the 47 days strike by the way how old are u i guess u maybe 20 so u were not there to feel the suffering charlo impose on the land during that time da was like a ghoost town for 47 days it was not a bless place to b at that time he fooled us telling us we not going back till patrick john fall now today i sure he wouldnt like anyone to protest agains him hmmmm the cycle of life eh
I have heard stories of this stand off and the spin on it and what i held onto as a young person was the courage of people standing together in unity for what they wanted. NEver considered the consequences thereof and even so, i thought it was a matter of . few days. Sad. I am so ashamed we traded our humanity for something of fleeting value, money. Seems to me the year has changed but not much else. Praying for change. As matter of fact, i declare that God is going to bring a halt to the evil forces of darkness which have been permitted to roam and operate so freely in our land. I declare that every leader who abuses his/her authority in oppressing their peoples be violently removed from their self indulgent seats of authority. I declare than in their place GOD is going to raise up leaders who have a heart after his and compassion for their peoples. I declare a shift in the atmosphere over Dominica and with the authority that has been given to me to make this proclamation that it is done not by might, nor by power but by the Spirit of the Living God and in the name of Jesus Christ his son.
That’s gonna be Skerrit’s downfall….slowly but sure he’s definitely gonna lose some of his supporters…Again degree aint mean a thing
Rubbish – Think again
How does a person like that find himself on the right side of history?
Why do the exploited suffering victims not have a defender with the power to right wrongs?
Why do charlatans and unrighteous people always win?
Will ‘we the people’ ever find ourselves on the right side of history?
are the workers supporters blind or something…dominica is so much better than it was befoe, skerrit built a stadium, night landing airport, state college, west coast highway and plus many more roads around the island, he sent allu children to study under scholarships! Skerrit brought change to this country, the UWP does not like china and venezuela, there only friend is taiwan, when UWP was in power taiwan gave them a prone farm. What can a prone farm to for us? Now when labour came in power they made relations with china and they gave us proper infrastructure that cant come close to prone farms. The UWP loves to sho off their stupid ways, Lennox just blasting his mouth on radio and they put him as leaderm but claudius sanford and ronney isidore just to name a few have been working their backsides off for the UWP for how many years but they still did not put one of them in power, but they put a guy tht never went up for elections, does not have a seat in parliament and has no qualifications to be leader of the party…this party is not ready yet, vote DLP!
go and eat the stadium..the college. the night landing, the west coast highway and the other roads. yes he sending children to study but where are they now? look at those from calibishie. only one boy left, the others came down. why? because they seeing to much misery. skerrit aint giving them shit. his mother tell him stay just to take out the shame in her eyes. I HOPE WHEN CHINA ASK FOR THEIR PAYMENT LIKE VENEZUELA DID WE’LL BE ABLE TO PAY THEM.
All this from China and Venezuela but at what cost?? Nothing comes free!! Time will tell.
Skerrit Skerrit Skerrit – I wonder if is Skerrit or the Government of Dominica – Allu have this so twisted.
Ebeh weeey!
Have it dawn to you guys that this is gobal? Primitive must be over with in this 21st century. THE CRAB mentality has kept us cripple for too long. If you Oregon to comment at least be a good advocate of your views whether for or against. All these violence and negativity is drawing more stagnation to the country. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but for the love of your country and reputation as a nation stop tearing and bringing each other down. What legacy are we leaving for the next generation? What we do or say don’t just affect now but also the future. SO please try expressing views that are meaningful and uplifting. Life goes on deal with it. Decissions are made deal with it. Just know that this too shall pass. Build a country you would want to live in positivethinking. Next President lol
I GIVE UP – Dominica is a discouraging place ; I cannot for the life of me understand how on earth a person like that man can find himself on the right side of history –
While the masses who suffered his deeds can be on the wrong side of history . . .
Bishop Daniel will righteousness and justice ever prevail? Does it make sense to live right??
Why the surprise?
Had he not resigned both his posts in anticipation of becoming President. Would he have resigned if the decision was not already made and all else formality.
Does Dominica even need a President and its expensive trimmings?
Lennox can Jump
Lennox can shout
Lennox can get blue vex
But Lennox cannot prevent Charlo from being President
I thought it was a Dominica thing. So you see how ignorant and stupid you are. You should go bury you stupid head in the sand.
are you the same BOB i saw holding hands with RAY
I am just wondering if the first or the maiden speech by the new president will be a declaration of a State of emergency when the people start to agitate – mama mee melay!!
This is the worst day ever. Charles Savarin elected president!? OMG!! I will speak at polls next election. I cannot vote for this government again. My conscience burning me all now.
How are you so sure he chose not tone present because of his displeasure of the PM choice?
I will come and VOTE…
YOU DON’T VOTE MY VOTE WILL REPLACE YOURS.
LMAO
I AM DOMINICAN.
i do not live in Dominica – I do not feel what the so called masses are feeling if I were to believe everything I read here on DNO.
What I do know, is that the same CONSTITUTION, gave powers to both parties.
What i do see, is that 1 party used those powers and the other didn’t
Which is which?
I agree that Labour must go, but i find myself asking – and make room for who?
talk, talk, talk never will get Dominica forward.
You have to be ready to strike, and strike while it’s hot. Dont wait for your opponent to give you options without any solutions of your own.
Effective leadership also lies in the ability to be PREPARED and expect the unexpected and deal with it with expediency.
this “Constitution” that keeps getting name dropped is not even being utilised efectively by the party complaining.
my question is – where the was your nomination?
3 nominees later and not 1 opion presented.
Change is a must – but at what cost?
Now peopleare stuck with Svarin becuase you failed to DEFEND by puttign up a nominee to show us that you were trying – instead you only: Opose, Opose, Opose
Maybe if you educated yourself of the constitution you would understand the opposition’s stand point.
That’s what i did FOOL!
Goes to show how blinded you people are that anyone who questiosn your mighty Opposition – you take offense.
I know the law, i study the law – it’s all about interpretation of what you are reading.
I’m pretty sure that one fo the first rules is being prepared.
then again – i am tlking to Dominicans who tend to talk out of their asses and not think for themselves. I’ts all about my way- if not what i think thaten you’re an idiot.
Guess what… you think all the idaspora people who sit on the computer and spew political nonsense are gonna leave their land of milk nd honey and coome save you gusy in DCA?
think again!
many of them can’t even “bachay” a plane becuase they can’t come home, but still they sit and write nonsense about the Constitution yet – they UNDERSTAND NOT what they read.
what is the point of the Opposition? If i may ask you oh smart one?
I’m pretty sure that the Opposiiton knew the COnstitution and knew that the term was coming up so they should have been prepared because they knew they werent going to agree with King Skerritt.
so what’s their take on that same Constitution that makes proviisons for before the ter expires?
it’s like beating a dead horse with you folks… only opinion that matters is yours.
but guess what – the OPPOSITION SUCKS! they have no ambition, no determination, no PLAN
Skerritt sucks but his playing field is more advantageous than theirs- it’s like the battle of dumb and dumber
My sentiments exactly. Labour needs to go, but my goodness, I see absolutely NO alternative.
Open your eyes and you will see
yu dont live here but yu have more to say than people who live in d land gwayering so hush yur trap all u saying is pure hog wash dont yu know silent is golden oh is a fight all u outsiders want to c in dominica and then call it politics well lennon just do as u doing be silent u got the right move we dont need no blood on our streets 33 years later the last time there was blood in dominica streets was black tuesday just incase yu dont know what i talkin about listen to the song black tuesday by nasio and u will get the message maybe if u were hearing gun shot and people dieing yu would not of sound so stupid JUST REMEMBER CHANGE WILL COME THE WORLD IS A CYCLE
President Charles Savarin, congratultions again and sleep well tonight. Get your required amount of rest so that you will feel well rested for your inauguration tomorrow, October 1st. I visualize it will be a strenuous or busy day for you. This will be a great day of fond memories.
Tomorrow, the Catholic Church will celebrate the Feast Day of St. Teresa Lisieux, The Little Flower of Carmel, of The Child Jesus who served our Lord in holiness in her life. Her life story is documented in a book which is entitled, “St. Theresa Lisieux – The Story of a Soul”.
October 1st also commences the month of The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Holy Rosary. This special devotion of the Catholic Church will end on October 31st.
God knows we need prayers and more prayers. These celebrations of the Holy Ones whom He made perfect are not without reason. By honoring them as God expects of us, they will assist us in our pilgrimage of life to walk the narrow road to heavenly eternity and even shield us from evil.
We are fortunate that we have them. They did not have anyone but themselves to prod them on to godly perfection. However, God was with them. They are capable of assisting us in the strife. Praise and thanks be to God!
I will remember you at Church and other fellow Dominicans that God will bless everyone and protect them and shield Dominica from unrest which contribute to lack of peace. God’s blessing and peace!
Well it has happened!!!! And what’s the lesson…… young people ……..this is the lesson taught here today. You do not have to be honest, honourable, educated, qualified or know how to pronounce words ending in tion or sion to be the president of our beloved state and also receive the highest honour in the land.
All you have to do is be Charles Savrin!!! and of course associate yourself with people who will dictate to people of Dominica that you get into the positions that you want regardless of how immoral and unpopular the decision may be.
Yes young people welcome to DOMINICA’S POLITICS 101. I hope you enjoyed your lesson!!!!!
what a DARK day this is
Actually it looks very sunny and hot to me….
it is a shame
Dont be suprise my dear if you believe thats its a DARK day cause its gona be the same ellection night
No sunshine in your part of the world? Only cloudy, dark grey skies? None in your heart? How sad you cannot see the silver lining beyond. Look for it you will find it.
Whatever you look for this is what you will find.
do what allu want but I not celebrating independence this year der na
And who cares, if you celebrate it or not, we have heard statement like that over and over again, and those who said it are the ones we find enjoying the celebrations the most.
UWP Has failed the people once more!!! Utter rubish!! They said it wouldn’t stand yet they were not there to cast their votes? What d @** is dis nuh??????? Chupes!!!!
wouldit make a difference (and by “it” I mean the outcome)
the leadership of any organisation is just a few.
This is not a matter for UWP. the Pm action is totoal disregard for all Dominicans. We all need to join the fight.
Re,member the 47 day strike? we all need to come together. Forget about party. See yourself as a Dominican first.
The 47 days strike was different, the Patrick John led administration was about to pass a piece of legislation that would have stifled freedom of the press, so everybody came together to fight the cause and that’s why today we can stay on Q95FM radio and Kaira and expressed ourselves how we want freely. This we consider a Cause.
It would not have made a difference anyway
Exactly!!! That is what I cannot understand about the UWP…I swear they need a strategist because the strategies that they’re using obviously isn’t working…a set of talk talk talk and no action…how is staying away from Parliament helping the cause??? Savarin is such a polarizing figure in the Dominican society I cannot understand why he was elected as President but at the same time the UWP didn’t put forward a candidate until Friday or Saturday last week…what is really going on???
Who was their nominee? I never heard about dat …. O.o
I totally agree with you. The UWP never made one proposal. Not one. Why did they not nominate someone, instead of rejecting the candidates presented by the government?
How have they failed?? They said they WONT STAND for it meaning Mr Savarin wont be given any respect as an illegal president. Use your discretion This place is an autocratic place.. NOT DEMOCRATIC … This is Skerrit President this is not Dominica’s president #bull
what KOSHONNEE you talking dere nuh sot, after all that, is UWP you blaming?????? there is no hope for D/A with idiots like you around
Nonsense, idiotic talk. How in hell could UWP, or anyone else, for that matter change anything done under this autocracy?
wat difference the 3 lil votes would make??
We’ve been asked to announce the death of the Presidency of the Commonwealth of Dominica. Born on November 3, 1978. Age: 34 Years. Left to mourn are children from Scots Head to Capuchin. Also mourning are many children and relatives abroad. The funeral service will take place on Tuesday October1, 2013. Venue for service and interment will be given in a subsequent announcement.
LOL. I like that one.
I rebuke that in the name of Jesus!
you not working you can comment on every thing beg you begging man
looool!…hahahah…i loveee daa…good 1
Rubbish.
Fear No More!!!!!
He was bound,she was with pain, the water pipe so close, the bank was empty, social security’, brought up the pension age. What will i do in this melee? Skerro controls the money and still guards it (now in charge of what saverin did). the people can’t reach since they are against his party.And now this president thing and C Saverin. O what a foolish thing.They say All shall eat but poverty is in the kitchen. We have just proven what Skerro said,NO constitution will hold him back.He must Go Dominicans.Hold the faith.As in Biblical times he did evil in the sight of God and man and was Removed. Don’t be afraid he must be removed.I and me not voting Labour again!!!!!!
This is a deliberate assault on our freedom and democracy and has some dark and sinister implications and hidden agendas which will come to light in the not too distance future. They shall fall prey to their own mischievous devices.
and they say freedom party dead they just moving smart lol
We will see!!!
The worst is still to come, mark my words!
Today 19 people in the House took teir pieces of silver and betrayed the principles of their own party, not caring or not realising that by doing so they signed their own political demise.
Roosevelt Skerrit has demonstrated that he is no respecter of the Presidency and when his latest acolyte, Charles Savarin will help to propel him into a position of supreme power, those who ticked their ballot paper today will find out how dispensable they are, discarded by their exalted leader and shunned by the constituaents, who were persuaded to vote for them in the first place.I think in particular of the blessed memory of the late Pierre Charles betrayed by those, who professed to love him most. But do not despair. Man and his vanity are perisbabler but hope lives forever and Dominica will pass through this vale of tears too. May God salvage and protect our beautiful land.
Congrats chalo the Labour Party represents the majority of the popular so u are the people’s choice.Uwp operatives go on DNO and submit many comments under different names to make it look like the whole of Dominica is against the PM when it’s only a few of them who took over DNO.
some of you stupid labourites do not seem to have any sense of reasoning.
None at all, we have to pity them for their IGNORANCE , and wht is so annoying there wearing it like a badge of honor…Oh wht a PITY…
Stop the hating, we are free to support which ever party we want,so show some respect, all those negative comments takes as no where. Whilst were fighting for them,the same Politicians are knocking glasses with each other when they attend functions, so please do not let make us look like fools.
is it just like we put different faces to go londondery to make it look like is plenty people that was there? fool
LMAO!!! Good one, claire!
plenty people were at Londondery because Dominicans like jam and sewo lol
I stick to one name.
I am not afraid of my shadow.
I am a stable person; not a confused one.
I have reason to smile and laugh.
it’s time to stand-up dominicans and let our voice be heard. whether labour, freedom Uwp we all know this was not the right candidate. And I always voted labour, I am just being real
Speak for youroself.
there are many other qualified Dominicans to be the president of Dominica i think that was poor Judgment on the PM side. the PM try’s is best and works hard but this time is was poor judgment on his side.
cngrats Mr Savarin .you got another opportunity to serve your people please do so with humility and grace and try to make the wrongs right.To Mr Linton you are acting no better than Mr Savarin did years ago ,what goes around ,comes back around it did come back for Mr savarin ,you are younger please be careful.I know you love your country but so does Mr savarin.you both are alike.
What is Mr Linton doing?
as my name suggset i am very stupid and ignorant but even i know once you go against the will of the people your in trouble
But he people is just not you alone
One thing I can say, is Charlo looks good for his age……
Look rorow look commess loook nonsense ! Imagine a token of appreciation for stoning Labourites and breaking down the fences and causing riot in Roseau, de man is now president! They should have given PJ de post or anybody else! Look now is guns and police all over the place with guns. Dats the lowest Dominica can go before its revival to progress and development! Solution to all these things: Vote this Government out of Office! labour freedom they are the one and the same! So now its a labour Government with a Labour freedom president so licks on anyone who thinks otherwise!
The world must be laughing at Dominica and all the silly things going one! Imagine independence celebration is drawing nigh and now there is an independence Gift of this president!
Could all those who call themselves Christian or those with some integrity put their hands up!
Well Well I have been gone for a while Now am back….. Skerrit I done lost the little respect I had for you… How dare you install Savarin as President of the D/ca???
Today is your day, You & your supporters can gloat about it like goats fine by me…I am calling on all Patriotic D/cans to distance/boycott themselves from everything/events etc this President Savarin will be link to!.
When I was a kid whenever the President music started to play before he came on Radio or T.V to give a address to the natio,n I use to rush to listen…. I respected what this office stand for, but From Today the 30th of September 2013 I PetProjects have no respect for the Office of President…..Dislike my comment or not,
I am disappointed in the system, Thank you Skerrit !!
I letf Dominica many years nor we were kids in Portsmouth we were not friends because you never associate yourself with people. But as coming from Portsmouth I want to say Congratulations. I read the article this morning that ask the quetion “Who is Charles Saverine”. and I must say that you have put in the work to take you the the Presidency Congrates.
It is not the first time that Charlo has been wanted and discarded……The Freedom Party discarded him as leader of the party years ago, as he failed to perform his duties and became lazy on the job….he begged to stay on, but he was booted out…incompetence…
Before that Charlo was launched in the 2000 elections by the labour party on the Dame Eugenia Charles Boulevard…can you imagine. The man could not even manage and plan his own launch as political leader and candidate for the Roseau Central seat……What is this man doing as President. Shame
congrats to my president Compere Lapen
Savarin right now is Skerrit president but not Dominica’s president.
Lennoxx Linton stragedy is MY WAY or THE HIGHWAY..Lennoxx wants everything done his way.He cuts and paste,mislead infomation just to have things done his way.This guy uses “Dominicans,the people of Dominica hyprotically and in disguise to make believe that the majority of the Dominican people are on his side when truely and infact they are not.It’s just the very same Blue supporters that rally around that power hungry bully.One wonders if Eddison was nominated by the Government to be the President of Dominica,what would be the reaction of Lennoxx and his followers?Would there be all this controvercy over an elected present?Lennoxx,you must cool down,you think you are the OMEGA,You playing smart but you are not clever.Too late shall be your cry.
DNO,I’m wondering what is really wrong with my comment that it takes a whole day to be moderated?Please respond!
It is 100% garbage as usual. It must be hidden somewhere.
Utter rubbish
bloggers-of-doom-and-gloom, let not your heart be troubled, my father in heaven will not let your prophecies come to pass for he is an Elohim of love and peace, so I pray, Father, I thank thee for your love, mercy and grace that you have bestowed on me and pray that you shower the same on my country and countrymen. Let the hate that they carry in their hearts vanish like the morning mist and replace it with peace and love to their brothermen like you replace the dark clouds with sunshine. Let all the wishes and prophesies for doom and gloom disappear from their tongues and guide my beautiful nation to properity.
Continue to direct the government so that this fair land will enjoy peace and development.
Almighty Father, I pray too for the opposition, that they will also prosper for all of us live in this dear land.
Father, please forgive the UWP leader for the venom and hate that spills from his tongue against our leaders and institution. Let his words become an instrument of thy peace.
This I ask through YASHUA The Messiah, Amen.
my island people if the sun doesn’t shine i guess it’s because of pm and one question i have to you all he the worst pm you guys ever had and is he the best i don’t think so but god he is trying to do the best job he knows how to do it you all think the blue party is going to do a better job wait for it you never miss the water still it’s all gone god i pray for my dominica and its people god bless them
Sir Brian Alleyne would be the best fit for this position at this time.
We need someone who is not as bias for our president.
So what is your reason for not wanting Savarin again?
Boycotting is not the answer, voting against would have been more effective. The opposition and those from the party should have attended and voted against. If they had gone and voted then who knows they may have given others the courage to vote alongside them and defeated the vote.That is constitutional.Stop boycotting and go and vote against. Votes count.
They are already in the majority, so votes in this case does not make a difference.
Congrats Charlo, we love you fr yr old friend.
He is not my president .
charlo want to test god now rip charlo u put the nail on your coffin
my poor country…I weep, weep, weep
Father hear our cry
I KNOW YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN ON YOUR CHILDREN.
boo hoo!!
Now we have an ex young Freedom movement leader as Prime Minister and an exx Freedom party leader as President.. way to go Freedom. who say Freedom dead…I think we should say that the labor party is now possessed ……by the Freedom party.
Labourites read the writings on the wall you have been fooled big time. Are you going to let it continue?…or are you going to do something about it.?
Well Well Welll I wonder what is so bad about my comment?
Like if your confused and have no idea what is going on.. -.-
Charles Savarin was not elected. He was selected. This the begining of the end of Labour.
African power greed mentailty. …u. serve ur time so now jus happily stepaside n allow someone fit
if charles saverin was any kind of honourable man he would have withdrawn from the presidency nomination seeing that majority of dominicans labourite uwp-ite etc dont want him as the president.shame shame shame on you mr saverin.clearly you only care about yourself!!!
Congratulations to President Charles Savarin on your election. Dominicans who wish you well, people of good will who genuinely want and know what is best for Dominica will obviously be elated and wish you well.
We are confident that you will fulfill your position professionally and meet and pass all necessary criteria for your designated position.
I am pleased to extend my very best wishes to you. May God bless you in this Office of President.
He who laughs last, gets the best laugh.
But even lennox said Charlo would be bettr off being the president so a joke that was nah? Well i have no idea when to take you guys serious.
CHARLO for President who vex BURST
Congratulations Mr. Savarin, I wish you all the happiness cause it’s not going to be an easy road for you.
He deserves it.
Wht is going to make his road hard? It’s already paved, when the PM pulls his strings, all he has to ask is how high to jump…
We should blame Skerro. He is a good man but the people around him so weak and I think he has gone loco. Everyone else in Parliament has a vote. He didn’t hold them at gun point. They should stand up for what they know is right. Dominica is really in a miserable state. All for power? Sorry Doc – labour one vote less. I will not entrust my future to you. Too young for that. While I will not be screaming WORKERSSSSSSSSSSSS. Linton you just got my vote.
one less vote for skerro too but sorry linton i just cannot see myself voting for you.
People as you cause me to refute your stupidity. I suppose you are not a weak person. You must be one strong character who will never fail and fall.
Dominica is really in a miserable state? I will inform those Dominicans as you who think so, you do not know how fortunate you are. Do not be like the wolf that cried foul.
Pray to God for yourself, your family, Dominica, other nationals and your political members including your Prime Minister. Be productive in trying to build up Dominica and to enhance it. This is what God wants you to be.
Lennox Linton was a Freedom party supporter and a lot of those present UWP. They were all there supporting Charles Severin during the August 1978 upheaval against the ruling Labour Party. It was right for all of them then, how comes Charles is such a bad person now because of that era. They all supported him and actions taken by the Unions and the Freedom Party. What a bunch of hypocrites and opportunists!! Charles was proclaimed a Hero during those days. Freedom supporters and members had better shut their mouths now.
Charles Savarin is the new president-elect of Dominica.
He was the only nominated candidate for the election of president and received 19 favourable votes from all government members present.
The United Workers Party (UWP) did not attend the sitting.Absent from the government’s side were Ian Douglas, Julius Timothy, Ronald Toulon and Tammy Jean Jacques.
The UWP had said that Savarin’s nomination is unconstitutional but Attorney General, Levi Peter, argued the nomination and election are within the confines of the constitution.
Savarin resigned last week as a government minister and senator.
He will be sworn in on Wednesday, October 2, 2013.
Not only Skerrit/Savarin must go also Levi Peters I hope no one is surprised to read Peters comments a man who was brought down by the GOVT and who haven got the people of D’ica interest as a priority but we have to take what we are getting because Tiyani Behanzin had warned us and we all turn a deft ear .
I dont support either parties but I support the people and the Constitution and the rule of Law and I cannot see myself standing to attention for Savarin as long as he is in that position. D’icans ask Skerrit what does Savarin have over him remember Savarin didnt run or got elected as a minister in any of the elections, on the other hand I call on D’icans to vote out all ministers of the Govt because they allowed what happen today and when Savarin drope down it will be on their heads .
The power of the people is more than the power of the minsters .
Savarin will not be in that position for 5 years not in his life I call on D’icans to boycut all ceremonies that he will be presiding over,young peple take a stand for your Constitution and rule of Law and for DOMINICA
talk for your self!! Dominicans can do what they want…. on their own free will. I am not a supporter of the president elect but we need to sweep the dust and move on. And in case you forget… for many years now WORKERSSS have been boycotting everything and things in the country was moving on. What we need to do now is come together as a nation and pray for the powers that be to free us from the wrongdoings of those in power.
Boycott all independence events that they preside over because overwhelmingly he is not the people’s president.
lol you soo weak
There are thousands of people in Dominica. You are only a speck. If you do, you will not be missed. Who will you be harming? If you wickedly avoid it, you will be considered unpatriotic.
Listen people pay their money to come to enjoy
their country their culture and believe it or they
have nothing to do with it .If they do not want Severin that’s ok then use your power and vote Skerrit out. But it is not fair to hold the country hostage. This is our country
And I hope you and the others will also boycott all the sewo. That will be a true boycott. Boycott all Independence activities, including jump up, creole in the park, and the rest of the activities. Set of hypocrites!!!
That’s nothing new when comes to boycotting for the UWP, they did it in the past and the functions went on. Their presence have no significance.
Boy-cut for wat!! Dominica is their country alone? I will celebrate what is mine… and the legacy that was passed on. Make your voice heard some other way. I am sure if you would sit and think critically, you and your more intelligent friends can find a way around this. We should never sacrifice what we value as a nation on a whole for things that can be handled in a shop… Party politics is one thing but patriotism is another… Don’t get it twisted.
And the point of the boycott would be?
Exactly my point, boycott for what, all UWP does is is TALK, TALK, TALK…..
labourites Gun point president, welcome to the OK coral yeeehaaaaa. Les ban couyonade!!!!!
UWP plz go to the house lol good job my p.m
go to the house for wat! the government has the majority. so even if they had gone the man will still be elected! dark day for Dominica!
A man who is so political is the president of Dominica and you have heart saying good job!
Please put your political bias aside and rethink
that is y they are in the opposition!!!!!
The comments on this page do not necessarily reflect the views of Dominica News Online
DNO : I am AFRAID to post a comment BECAUSE you will not publish it – and that is your right
We never censor based on political or ideological points of view
that’s a good tactic by the uwp to keep Dominicans ignorant and violent, please don’t forget it’s the same Charles Savarin and others like himself who helped us to be speaking freely today. congratulation to Mr Charles A Savarin
where is the violence, who has the guns eh?
Your name suits your right “BRUTUS” If we are so free in expressing our views, why are there barricades set up to prevent us from speaking freely so you say we are…. BRUTE
OMG. Since when did barricades stop people from speaking freely.
Yes there are police officers manning the roads (approx. 30). The road block is no different to when traffic is diverted for road repairs. Foot traffic is still flowing freely. We walked pass the officers, they were polite. We did not feel intimidated.
Reading some of the comments , one would think that there were officers brandishing shotguns, while crouching behind tanks/armed vehicles, and accosting everyone that went by.
I totally agree with you. How quick they are to forget! Congratulations Mr. Savarin…you will serve Dominica well.
Amen @BRUTUS, tell them agian we love our CHARLO.
your an idiot,
Brutus,
I am glad that you have mentioned that. Some of us forget the day in 1979 when our freedom of speech was being silent. Today Dominicans can stand up and fight the legally elected Prime Minisiter on everything that he does. The oppositon will continue to insight violence to those that are color blind. We have President like it or not.
Exploitation of semi illiterates is a form of mental abuse. Those who understand the constitution but chose to mislead shame on you congrats Mr President
That is a vaule'(a beating) on all Dominicans.
i sense a riot in the near future!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you ever been in a riot. Do you know what it’s like. Well I have (in London) and believe me you DO NOT want that to happen in Dominica.
My soul hurts.
If it hurts, turn to God in humility and fervent prayer. He will heal it.
Why is Lennox the one speaking , a non elected official…everything has to go through me…
where is Hector John????
That’s a very good question. Enquiry minds want to know!
Juan Pablo, Lenox is speaking because he is the political leader of the oficial opposition seating in the parliament
maybe he on the same page with astaphan?
Because the leader of the Opposition is a magie
i had to lol on that one…hehehehehehe
Anybody seen Hector John? I need a Boozai to go and look for Hector John. After I find him, I need to look for his voice too.Anybody willing to help me????
If you dont understand the positions of both men you will neverget it so whenever you meet either men ask them to explain it for you ..
What’s your point? Hector John is an MP he was elected by his people he have more right to talk than Lennox Linton!! He is the Leader of the Oposition I want to know why he silent and if the UWP is silencing him that is not right!!!!
Mind you business, we go see.
UWP only has one voice at a time. Too many talkers is no good in any organization. The political leader is doing a fantastic job at it so let it be. What happen, allu fraid Linton mouth? Is he too articulate for you all? Lol…well deal with it because we will deliver at one medium and that will be Lennox. Just be reminded that Change Must Come.
Assertive NOT Agressive!
lennox is articulate with a piece of paper in a studio. even levi peter make him dayparlay yesterday
He looking too dottish and he too nervous on stage….lol lol
All I will say is, the leader that will not listen to the voice of the people, is nothing short of being a fool. Furthermore, to elect a president we all know will further divide the country and keep it divided, is nothing short of pure ignorance.
He is listening to the people. Majority rules
The voice of which people??DNO views is the people? This is the forum where 10 of you give the impression that Dominica is so badly off. Shame on you.
Utilize your common sense. You expect him to stoop to the people and their foolishness? Who is the elected PM, he or the people? Even though the people elected him, they must obey and respect him.
UWP just a confussion party, when last they agree on something with the party in power? only in Dominica these can happen. too much freedom of speech we have but when to make it count we like dummies
which people are you talking about? are you talking about UWP or the hole of dominica!
the devil’s appetite open wider
The belly of the beast is getting larger
Don’t be careless now, he’ll devour you
And chances are you won’t recover…..
My heart bleeds for Dominica.
Skirrit said no constitution can stop him. Now not even the people who put him in office can stop him.
Are the 19 members of parliament retarded or are they just very afraid of Skerrit?
That attorney general is a joke.
Evil today will light your tomorrow.
yall soo dumb, did the pm break any law? why hector aint commenting? they did it within their rights, so be quiet if you dont know what to say
Congratulations Mr President those who know better but choose to misinform and misinterpret the constitution shame on you. You are exploiting the ignorant people another form of abuse.
Congratulation to you Charlo. I salute you and the move by the PM and the cabinet. We are on the right tract.god appointed and he will reaffirm with labour party re election
Pure rubbish..
All the folks say “is now we die” and all that junk. Being President of Dominica is just a position. When have we heard the President of Dominica did this or that? The man is just going to do what all the Presidents before him did….sit in office and collect a check…nothing else. The only time we hear about “President of Dominica” is when he’s sick or they’re about to elect a new one.
Eat your heart out! Envy will get you nowhere.
I agree with you somewhat but what do you think the president rol is when an election is too close to call. An election is coming soon
@Sam – Who told you he is just going to do what other presidents have done?
Rules cannot change or whaa…..
Just look at the kind of things this backward thinking government is doing and you think he is just going to do what other presidents before him have done?
Well if that is the case, why wasn’t Mr Eluid Williams left in place to the things that other presidents have done?
Sam, use your head nuh……
Who fool you.
Who fool you boo…Sam’s not lying. I mean what does the President of Dominica do?…not a damn thing!!!!
I agree. Not too long ago I updated my FB status asking “what the heck the president do”. There is a Prime Minister and an acting Prime Minister what does Dominica need a President for??? You only hear about them when they sick or during election time.
That’s what you think
Dominica fall, no coming back.
Do not make me laugh out loud! The last time I checked and it was a second ago, it was still standing. So is DNO.
Also the silly comment you wrote.
What does the Minister for Diaspora affair in St. Thomas do? nothing. sitting at her home, going to K mart and getting a Fat Dominican cheque.
This matter needs to be investigated.
people ,the pm have an agender ,and he have to push it forward just wait and see,
his words; I am an advocate for ? what president?
Just wait and see
havent you heard he want to change part of the constitution on dual-citizenship?
And?
I do agree it should be changed. The opposition should not have such a great say. If dual citizenship is accepted in Dominica, every Dominican who resides out of the country will benefit from it. After all, once a Dominican-born with a Dominican baptismal certificate and a passport, always one. Nothing or no one should erase that.
Even you and other critics should agree on this for it will benefit those whom you know, government critics or not who reside abroad, some of whom have returned home. They have much to contribute to D/ca politically and will be pleased about this move that they are not treated as outsiders who were not born in Dominica. It is time for this change.
learn to spell agenda and then post again…”agender” hmphf
So does the uwp.
The PM is a Dictator!
When this episode in our history is recorded, I have no doubt that it will rightfully find its place as one of the darkest days in our nation’s development.
Weep Dominica, Weep!
That is what you assume. It is not so with those who sincerely have Dominica’s interest at heart.
Savarin should have a conscience, this was done out of spite, mischief, malice, oh boy oh boy God please HELP US!
Really??? smh
And you are stating this out of spite.
Hmmm my heart is bleeding for Dominicans
Can we not do better than that look misery
If your heart is bleeding, it is time for you to go to the doctor. The primary one, Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Healer of all healers. He will heal your heart, mind and soul of discord and hatred.
oh my good lord, help us and guide us away from politics and politicians. What is our Isle of beauty coming to.
I wonder why the 4 people on the govenment side did not attend, is it because they like most Dominicans do not want Mr.Savarin as president?
They are deceitful and traitors. They were elected and were expected to show up. They were paid for this day. I hope they will not tell a lie why they did not attend. It is too conspicuous why they did not show up.
You should consider this, that they have disappointed the people. They should be reprimanded and should not be paid for today.
uwp supporters are not most Dominicans.
WOW!!! I am lost for words…..ebeh….DA really reach to that level…one still had hope for country BUT….sad day……
A Freedomite has more power in Labour Party than the very Pal Reps who won the constituencies for DLP.
Those DLP men and women, don’t they have any sense, courage or love for country to come out and say something that is greiving in their hearts??
Charles Saverin himself would have already gather-up his troops and demand respect from Skeeritt , if he was in all you shoes.
nonesense you talking….you know is nonesense
2 cents Pah try sa. We smarter than you think No reverse psychology on us
Intereting day for his inauguration – the anniversary death of Rousie Douglas and the official closing day of Brizee mart. Just my observaton – food for thought!
Time will tell.
Rosie’s anniversary is in early October 1st, the Feast of St. Theresa Lisieux – of the Child Jesus.
I recall that day Sunday when I was getting ready to go to the Holy Mass and celebration in her honor when someone telephoned me to give me the sad news of his passing. I pray he is in God’s care. He did much good.
I must telephone his sister and her husband tonight who resides in Ontario. I usually do especially on his anniversary. I have been so busy that it slipped my mind. Thanks for the reminder.
Charles inauguration will take place on October 1st. What a coincidence.
The special annual Holy Mass and celebration in honor of St. Teresa will be held early tomorrow evening at the Church of which she is the Patron Saint. If I do, I will surely remember Rosie in prayer during the Mass. In fact, I will also remember him in prayer, especially tomorrow from morning…
I will also remember Charles that God will grant him health and strength in his new portfolio as President.
Closing of Brizee has nothing to do with that,
Mr. Brisbane should have spent more time in business than being on the radio.
Charles Saverin, WHO YOUUUUUUUUUUUU ???????
interesting that all the ones that would put their head on a spike and their hand in the flame to say that nothing is wrong, everything is right and and anyone who says otherwise is politically bias for being a free thinker will today see that their say really does not matter in “their own country” or will they remain to be naive…. its not the 3rd eye, its the first and as long as its closed the other 2 are useless….
Shame on you charles for even accepting the respectable office of the presidency after you have so bravely disclosed you ability to grasp what ever crumbs fall off the prime ministers table.It was the PM who disclosed just recently that he does not even see the need for a president when most off the time the presidents role is mandated on the advice of the pm.It is not to late to resign and listen to the voice of the people,the same ones you inspired to sacrifice their lives for the historic 1979 revolution
Job Well done.. Congrats Charlo… Now folks get your butt back to work and stop the hissy fit, it’s not good for your health….
Love this one!!! LoL
Congrtulations to our new President and the First Lady
We must learn to remove the lump in our eyes before pointing at the speck in our brother’s eyes. Pray for Dominica
Congrats SAVARIN hope the paint that was install on LABOURITES will never happen again. I wonder what MAMO is doing fight now turning over in her grave or saying I trained him well he have gotten the highest office on the land.
thought the PM said that the highest was the PM’s office.. oh well
Who vex loss .
There’s a Chinese Proverb that goes, “Be careful what you wish for, you might get it”.
Hope you don’t regret your words, listener.
I agree with listener…who vex loss. Dominicans too not easy.
The same for you.
This is a disgrace to the highest office in the land.
The DLP and it’s straphangers are grabbing at straws.
Is. Now we die
Another one who makes me laugh. Those who die will go to their eternal judgment. they will be buried six feet deep.
The bigger picture is who is going to replace him that is what i’m looking forward hearing about. the plot thickens.Who going to replace Charlo
de pm has taken over charlo ministries
Yeah he has assumed direct control of the police so he can control whatever they do…..but Change Must Come an its on the way as we speak…boots on the ground pleaseeeeeeee
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
What plot? Is it a mystery movie? Do not be silly.
I wonder how many of us at the age of sixty nine or seventy would receive an opportunity like Charles Savarin and turn it down. We heard Skeritt said that the Presidency is ceremonial . The man will be receiving in excess of ten thousand dollars a month and plenty of bed rest. He does not have get up from his bed to go to an office where he has to climb many stairs to attend work or meetings. The man is going to have security galore, chauffeur driven and a brand new Palace. Subject to correction, I understood the President’s Palace has a swimming pool, what better way to spend your twilight years.
There is more to it than meets the eyes and your limited mind could ever fathom. You appear not to know or never gave it a thought when he will be expected to wake up early to attend functions and to walk or stand for hours, also coming home late, after hours. He may also be on standby should an emergency occur.
Congrats uncle Charlo for you being the New President and aunty Clara for being the First Lady. Who vex LOSS
Aunty Clara wont have to sell BBQ again in the street of a front office of a political party.
You, his family have reason to be proud of him. I do not know you but I know him, at least, one of his brothers and your aunties, the latter who reside in Ontario.
Hope you are studying hard that one day you will say, I can fit into his shoes. God bless you!
As you pray for yourself, do not forget to pray for him, for Dominica and for other nationals. No exception all politicians including your PM. God knows prayers are badly needed also for the rest of the world. Inform others.
congratulations sir.ignore all the haters and prove them wrong.do your job and do it with dignity and pride.HIS EXCELLENCY CHARLES SAVARIN LIKE IT OR NOT
Opposing someone does not mean we hate them. So many times we stood in opposition to our parents, children and loved ones. Does that mean we hate them? The word “hater” is being used so loosely on many forums.
Politics is different. There is no comparison to disobeying parents. You can disagree but you do not have to be vindictive. This is hate and creating discord, disunity and lack of peace. It also includes not thinking and weighing out matters and following those who create discord. Some of you fail to recognize the truth.
His Excellency Charles Savarin
who is right to run the country? Linton come on Dominican UWP is not better than the present ruling party trust me all you will see they will do even worst
Thankfully, they will never get the chance. The usual rhetoric. These guys cannot win any elections in Dominica anytime soon!!!
Why can’t they win? Is it because the election is going to be STOLEN LIKE IT HAS BEEN IN THE LAST 3?
IKR!!! and dats wat dey knw so dey vex!!!!
keep telling your self that
How was it stolen when it was 18-3 . UWP is no better they are even worse.
As adults we know about politics and politicians. This is why we should stick with the one who has done something good for Dominica and will continue to do so.
We should not vote for a politician or a Party which is bent on creating unrest in the land, among its people. Who is so foolish not to notice such an attitude?
they were not sick they knew better and are smart
So by now you doh know Tamy jean Jacque is on study leave? Ian Douglas is out on state business. So Mr Toulon can’t be sick? Boy Dominicans wicked weeeee.
Congratulations President Charles Savarin.
what does that make you nah?
Guy’s it’s time to evacuate this country.. do it fast before they start scrutinizing our passports even more.
Where are you heading to? Which country will accept you legally and immediately?
Noo fini bart sooookooooooo
Mr. PM you need to stop and listen to the people who put you there I believe this is a wrong move don’t bite the hands that feeds you, don’t be ungrateful God is a jealous God
You did not put him there? Liar
GOD will take care of this. Mark my word.
Of what? You think God is the Opposition? Do not underestimate God who is not involved in wickedness of the heart. He punishes those who are wicked.
Another broken record playing.
haha…..see how Dominicans are a sell out..
anywhere in the world the institutions would put a halt to that process…
shows you what kind of citizens dominicans are..
tame, backward foolish and no love for island..
That includes you
Tell that to Patrick John. Dominica was spared of a sell-out in those days.
I can see this occurring under another government; not this one.
Justice & Truth, we know its your comment STOP supporting CORRUPTION and playing HOLIER than thou you change your name but we know its still you
It’s a shame. When will Dominica wake up and realize that we are slowly moving towards a communist state. One of the first steps is to put the “decision makers” (judges, presidents, etc) in place. But we Must let this government know that WE THE PEOPLE are the decision makers. And we will make our decision very clear come election day.
Moves like these can only motivate the UWP supporters and undecided voters.
Let me let you know that you don’t speak for me as a Dominican, speak for yourself.I not in “WE THE PEOPLE INC”. DOH SPEAK FOR ME OKKKKKKKKKK.
I have considered that the manner in which some of you are carrying on, you do deserve a communist government to muzzle your mouths and fingers on the keyboard. One day you may very well get what you want if there is a new government. Mark my words. Pray for this not to occur.
That comment right here makes the most sense of all the other comments….TELL ME WHO ARE YOUR FRIENDS,,,,, You know the ending,,,i’m not UWP ,Labourite or Freedom…ALL hungry men
The brazen approach by Skerrit will hasten the demise of his government.
One would have thought that men like Dr Darrouk, Julius Timothy and Douglass would weigh in with some common sense but alas!
Ian, Ronald and Julie were absent. Were they sick or out of state? Interesting!!
I can’t account for Ronald Toulon, Ian Douglas is out of state, Tamie Jean Jacque is on study leave.
We talking coalition. There goes Portsmouth there goes the coast- Skerrit days are numbered. Enjoy Charlo while it lasts.
Rubbish
They were/are sick..of all this joke.
Congrats i guess..We will see what is in store
This is a smart comment. For, tomorrow does not belong to us and we never know.
We do not know what is in store for us. Keep up being positive and the confidence and hope for the best.
so all that police presence was for what? now the house has been adjuorned I hope Skerrit take his armed police away with him and free up the road for us to go about our normal business – we will deal with Savarin appropriately and with Skerrit at the polls. Now go drink all you black label – and laugh – for laughs last laughs the best!!!
That is when you will know who the people are.
@ babalene, Are u drunk? if not stop breave and rest.
Why do some of you not utilize your common sense and think? Could you have seen the future and what would have happened should there not be police presence? It kept the troublemakers away.
I truly believe this is a wrong move by the PM
Gods puts people in places to manage but when we as the people feel we are too big and cannot humble any more God will remove us. I just want to say to the PM please think before you leap.
Concern Laborite
we all have opinions.
The government is falling and they know it is coming to an end.A nation is stronger than one man,i hope everyone can see that the prime minister think of himself and what he wants if you dont like it look the other way. God Knows best because mr prime minister you will need all the luck you can get we are fed up and tired. you are out out out…………
Another one who thinks she can foresee and foretell the future.
Aye Dominique!
How are you? Hope you are doing well!
We know what they want we will not give it to them.
UWP need to do bettert than that stop walking out and not attending the important matters you all should have given the PM all you nomine long time. UWP WANTS TO PROVE A POINT BUT GOING ABOUT IT THE WRONG WAY. Nonsense all you doing
I agree…someone who was a strong supporter of UWP, who was everyday giving me blows about DLP and Skerrit told me today “that’s it for him”. He said he fed up with UWP and their nonesense. He said from today onwards doesnt want to hear none of these guys..”Just a bunch of talkers”. So I said that is what I have been saying to you all along. And soon alot more people will will realise that.
This was a mistake. Would you vote for such a Party? I would not! The leader is not an elected one by the people.
eh las.
And the PM continues to do what he wants….and no man bark..but for how much longer?? Wake yourselves up Dominicans!!
A president without a DEGREE!
Note his credentials, experience and expertise which by far surpasse that of the leader of the Opposition.
secure the house and then rape the land..thats all i see happening…
Well it’s Dominicans own hands that placed him there.
they can’t say it was the USA,China,Cuba or Venezula
But Dominican Bros and Sis,sit back and made this work…
takes you back to the slavery mood, and the division within the black culture…shooting themselves in the foot…
classical point of Today’s Dominica..
The opposition was playing hide and seek. The hide so far that the lost their way.
Like the five foolish virgins they came seeking the groom after the midnight hour.
They were doomed to failure.
I like that
If the Opposition is doomed to fail why the hell you all so fighten I have never seen so much attention given to their party man stop being stupid because you have work to do the WAVE of CHANGE is moving thru the Island like wild fire
the decision that was taken today was not such a good one, but for everyone who is happy about it, lets hope and pray we don’t see what happened in 1979 happen again. we the people are suffering, our voices was never heard in this decision making, are we going to continue to suffer or are we gonna do whats right and get who is right to run this country?.
Are you saying the God made a mistake? God is the one who set up Government and who put down Government. God appoints who He wants in office.
God also allows bad governments so his power can be made known. Egypt is a typical example, But still we must respect the government, give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and what is God’s we give unto God.
Amen to that.
He is not my Presindent. No way. Does not fit the bill by any means.
Vote them out!
u can say ur mother is not ur mother but jump high jump low she is, she is.
We don’t vote for our mothers….VERY far fetched comparism
Why are you people so ignorant??? The government nominates abd usually gets in who they want as president. That’s how it has always been, whether you like it or not!!! Just get over it and behave yourselves. If you guys are looking to stir up unecessary trouble, yiou might just get it!!!!
Whether you do not like it, you have no choice but to accept it. Your negativity makes no difference. It is a done deal. He is elected President and no one change it.
Hmmmmm whatever
When will the PM listen to the people?
When you folks vote him out
****SAD NEWS***
That’s a SAD day in our history. Things are really going to get worse for our country.This will happen until “law & order” can prevail.
-Thanks
I rebuke in the Name of Jesus Christ.
You have got to be kidding me right?
Sitting in my office reading this (can’t help but cry)my poor country.
Why do you want to cry. What’s about the man being president makes you want to cry. What do you see coming?
You have enough tissues?
Our Lord said, “Weep not for Me but for yourselves and for your children.”
If only some of you would do something for Dominica and for others, you would not have time to be idle, to be negative and critical. It would make Dominica a better place to live and more progressive.
Dominica fini bat dictatorship dat comin next
I rebuke you.
It is already at our door step
Which you deserve for your lack of appreciation.
Absolutely! I agree with you Lalala.
All I can say is
To Mr.Savarin I would like to say congratulations to you on your position as being the next President of the beautiful country Dominica. Some of us have forgotten the contribution you have nade for Dominica and Dominicans. They tend to dwwell on the past but they have forgotten the road that Dominica was threading in 1979. Being fromPortsmouth I am proud to day that Portsmouth will have had two Presidents since Dominica became Independent and we are loking forward to having a Prime Minister from Portsmouth. This is my two cents. Mrs. Clara Savarin welcome as First Lady of Dominica what a great one you are.
You are pre occupied and obsessed about your village’s position in the country rather than the greater good.
While i respect your constitutional right ( and the struggle is about our constitution) to support the chosen one, you might want to reason a bit more before deciding.
How on God’s earth is this man going to unite the country.
Its the people like you who divide, not Charles Savarin.
Are you aware, it is which way you see it? It does not mean your views are correct.
I am just so concerned that the first official or madien speech from this so called new president will be the declaration of a State of Emergency when the people had enough and start to agitate.
That just shows where your mind is at. Take defeat like a man. Exercise your democratic rights at the polls. That is where you will find out who the people are. Stop trying to fool the ignorant ones.
Will always advocate that i never believe in Dominica in General, they imposed that on themselves in being cowards…all over the globe folks protest even in much more spiritual places…
shows how dcans are weak full of chatter..
that’s why they are the Poorest Caribbean island in the Eastern Caribbean…
Fools Paradise—Dominica
Please stop inciting violence. The ballots are there to make four point. leave me as peacefull as I am forthe future to enjoy. All I need is PRAYER
How effective is the ballot when it is filled by foreign mercenary voters and illegal residents all bribed by the most corrupt govt. in history?
I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ.
Dominica is a blessed country and a peaceful country. God’s hand is on Dominica.
y do u care so much. stay wer ever u are
I rebuke you in the Name of Jesus.
Dominica is a blessed country and a peaceful country.
Cease using God’s Name in vain and not for the correct motives. It is blasphemous and a grievous/mortal sin.
People have guts give this comment a thumps up??Wow
Thank goodness I am not a man in uniform… Because i never get to salute a man who doesn’t deserve it from me.
Eh beh Dominique fini bat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Probably you are the one who will “fini bat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1”. For I would never fini bat. As long as God is on His throne Dominica will be a blessed country.
I really don’t care about the politics- but what I do care about is how the country is being managed and our definition of integrity and great governance. Nothing being done on this island is done by the books. Are we living in a communist state? Actions speak louder than words, therefore, by the actions of this present administration- I can boldly say that we are being managed by a group of political gangsters who do not respect the people and are very insecure in the way that they control the polities that the island is supposed to be governed by. We need a change, any change is good. People are tired, they are under duress stress… no jobs … no money … no smiles … no love. I am weary … my energy level is too low now. Change is a must!!
Alas Keena you are wrong on your politics and tongue outside too
Give up then, move, like 70000 thousand of your brothers and sisters have done.
have respect for your fellow citizen my brother…the answer is NOT to move, but to VOTE in favor of our individual choices
Well said KB
and putting linton in power is going to make things better???
This is what I like those who stayed out did not like the Ayatollah in his days. I wish them people well who voted for him. Hope they will not be rolling in their beds when they are sleeping. What are day for this nation under this PM which we got, he is not realizing his days are numbered.
At gunpoint!!!!
Seriously? DNO I am surprised that you are publishing comments such as this one and others which do nothing but incite violence. Just remember PMH will not be able to handle the casualties – they hardly have mercurochrome.
Please be more responsible!!!
Dominicans, please be cool. You will achieve nothing by violence except more hardship on yourselves. Exercise your right at the ballot box – it is a more powerful way to effect change if that’s what you want. Peace out!
Lol
