Ralph Gonsalves' Strong Opposition to Caribbean Citizenship by Investment Initiatives

The esteemed leader of the OECS, Comrade Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, has delivered a sharp critique of the region’s Citizenship by Investment (CIP) initiatives. Speaking at a recent press conference ahead of impending elections in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, he voiced concerns over the potential introduction of a CIP by the opposition. He viewed this as a significant threat to national integrity, urging that citizenship should symbolize belonging, not be treated as a commodity. Gonsalves warned of severe repercussions if reforms aren’t swiftly embraced.
