Photo: United Progressive Party<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The United Progressive Party (UPP), under the leadership of Joshua Francis, has issued a strong denunciation of what it says is the unfair practice of distributing &#8220;Christmas hams&#8221; and\u00a0 &#8221; other seasonal goods&#8221; solely to supporters of the ruling Dominica Labour Party (DLP), while deliberately excluding opposition supporters and other citizens.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, UPP leader Joshua Francis argued, &#8216;This partisan distribution of what should be assistance for all Dominicans is not only outrageous but fundamentally un-Christian and un-Dominican. Christmas is a time for unity, compassion, and goodwill toward all. To weaponize holiday assistance based on political affiliation is a betrayal of the values our nation holds dear. This proves to us that the Dominica Labor Party does not genuinely care about the nation, it\u2019s all about politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The UPP\u00a0 indicated in its statement that it has received numerous reports from residents across the island who have allegedly been denied Christmas hampers and other forms of aid simply because they are known supporters of opposition parties or have refused to pledge allegiance to the DLP.\u00a0 According to the release, this practice underscores a troubling pattern of divisive politics, where public resources and charitable efforts are used as tools for political patronage rather than as genuine acts of care for the entire populace.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every Dominican, regardless of their political beliefs, deserves to be treated with dignity and fairness by those in positions of power,&#8221; Francis said. &#8220;This discriminatory behavior is a catalyst for further disunity in our country at a time when we should be coming together. It breeds resentment, deepens divisions, and undermines the social fabric of our nation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The UPP has called on the DLP-led government to take immediate action by:<br \/>\n&#8211; Ceasing all partisan distribution of goods and services<br \/>\n&#8211; Ensuring that aid and assistance are distributed fairly and equitably to all citizens, regardless of political support<br \/>\n&#8211; Committing to govern in the interest of all Dominicans, not just their supporters<br \/>\n&#8211; Promoting an environment of national unity, steering away from political tribalism<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This practice has to stop,&#8221; Francis added. &#8220;Dominica belongs to all Dominicans. We will not be silent while our fellow citizens are marginalized and excluded based on how they choose to vote. The UPP stands for a Dominica where every citizen is valued, where fairness prevails, and where political differences do not determine who receives basic dignity and assistance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The party concluded by urging all residents of Dominica to reject what it describes as divisive political tactics and to unite in demanding a government that serves everyone equally, regardless of political allegiance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The United Progressive Party (UPP), under the leadership of Joshua Francis, has issued a strong denunciation of what it says is the unfair practice of distributing &#8220;Christmas hams&#8221; and\u00a0 &#8221; other seasonal goods&#8221; solely to supporters of the ruling Dominica&#8230;","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":354301,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[235,9,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-354300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-homepage-carousel","category-news","category-politics"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
