Grenada: Former Gov’t minister admits sale of diplomatic passports

CMC-Former Foreign Affairs Minister Oliver Joseph has admitted that the previous New National Party (NNP) administration had a policy of accepting cash for diplomatic passports. However, there have been denials that a Polish man was charged almost double the usual amount and a significant portion of that went to the bank account of an NNP constituency office.

Joseph confirmed that there was a policy of the former administration, led by Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell, of appointing diplomatic passport holders as ambassadors-at-large if there was no representation in the territory or jurisdiction from which an application for citizenship came. No diplomatic immunity was granted, however, he said.

Unlike an ambassador-in-residence, who is usually limited to a country or embassy, an ambassador-at-large operates in several neighbouring countries.

“What we [did] is conduct a thorough due diligence investigation and once approved they are then asked to pay the required funds to the state. The fee was US$150,000, nothing more, and the Cabinet conclusions will reflect the same,” Joseph said.

During a town hall meeting on Monday, Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell alleged that a Polish national had claimed that in June this year, in the midst of the general election campaign, he was asked to pay US$290,000 for a diplomatic passport, with US$150,000 for the State and US$140,000 for the NNP’s constituency office in St George South.

“We have the records…. The Cabinet conclusion said that it was US$290,000 to the State of Grenada. The last time I checked, the constitution does not establish the New National Party South St George office as part of the State of Grenada, so my free advice now is that the New National Party South St George office, or the New National Party for that matter, should kindly hand over to the state of Grenada the US$140,000 that magically found its way into your bank account,” he said at the town hall meeting at the Grenada Trade Centre.

Describing the move by the Polish nation as a gamble in which he lost, the Prime Minister said his government will not grant the request for the money to be returned.

“I do not know who advised the Polish gentleman…. The gentleman has been asking back for his money. The State of Grenada has no intention of paying back any money to anybody, but I also want to point out and give some free advice to the South St George New National Party that you might have to pay back the man his money,” he said.

“This is essentially trading in diplomacy or, more specifically, trading in a diplomatic passport. This administration has put a stop to this, we will not do it, it is wrong. For a government, days before an election to be suggesting to people that they could be made diplomats in the middle of an election campaign ridiculous and that is the kind of challenge that we have to treat with,” Prime Minister Mitchell declared.

However, Joseph insisted that the amount paid to the state was only US$150,000 and there can be no other figures in the Cabinet conclusion.

“That is the figure we set and we did not change it in the build-up to the election, so I challenge those with other evidence to present it,” he said.

Norland Cox who contested the South St George Constituency seat for the June 23 general election, also distanced himself from the payment.

“I can clearly state that my campaign, our campaign [in] which we were unsuccessful, in no way will our records show that we have received any direct funding from any foreign donor. All our support was from ordinary persons, local businesses and even former parliamentary representatives for South St George who supported our campaign,” he said in an interview on Tuesday.

“So that is the fact, and I want to repeat again that my campaign and my staff, we have not received or been in contact with any individual…. We have not been in any contact with anybody via email, phone call, anything of that sought for any financial support to my campaign,” Cox insisted.

Nicholas Steele, a former candidate for the NNP in the same constituency, also said he did not receive US$140,000 for his campaign, although he did confirm that during his 2018 election bid, there were financial contributions that required him and his office to declare the source of funds.

Grenada’s financial laws mandate that financial transactions of EC$10,000 and up deposited into an account must have a source of funds declaration.

Charges against Edwards likely to be upgraded to ‘causing death by dangerous driving’ after AUA student dies

REAL NEWS: Kenneth Matthew, the 21-year-old American University of Antigua medical student who was run down on the Friars Hill Road just over a week ago, has succumbed to his injuries.

REAL News was reliably informed that Matthew, a resident of Qatar, died this morning, November 2, at 10:40 a.m.

Karim “Ice Cream” Edwards, the driver who left the scene of the accident and then returned with his lawyer, was subsequently charged for dangerous driving.

It is now highly likely that the Police will upgrade that charge to causing death by dangerous driving.However, as it pertains to the second accident victim, 19-year-old Priyanjana Das, the charge of dangerous driving will still stand against Edwards.

In spite of Das having lost a limb, she is expected to make a full recovery, medical officials reportedly have said.

Das and Matthew reportedly were struck by Edwards on Sunday, October 23, as he was driving north and as they were trying to cross the road outside Billy’s Food Mart.

Both students were warded in the Intensive Care Unit at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre and placed on ventilators in medically induced comas.

Reports said that Matthew sustained several broken bones and serious head trauma. While his parents were hoping to fly him out of the country for further medical treatment, local doctors said he was not stable enough to be moved.

Das, meanwhilee, remains in the ICU nursing broken bones following the amputation of one arm.

Last week, a group of Matthew’s friends staged a protest calling for justice on his behalf while describing him as an angel.

At present, Edwards is out on a $20,000 bail, with a requirement of reporting to Langfords Police Station every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.

His travel documents have been surrendered, and he is reportedly not permitted to drive, as the Police Commissioner has rescinded his driver’s license.

Since the news of Matthew’s passing, social media has been awash with messages of condolences for his family and friends, while some residents have also expressed sympathy for Edwards’ situation.

“This day feels heavy” is how one woman describes the mood.

Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre has explained that for the Saint Lucia economy to grow and prosper, it must have its roots in a vibrant local business sector.

He spoke Wednesday at the opening ceremony of the Saint Lucia-Taiwan Partnership Trade Show.

Physically or virtually, the show features Saint Lucian and Taiwanese companies displaying various goods and services.

Pierre said Saint Lucia welcomes foreign investment, which has immense prospects.

“You can see for yourself that foreign investment has returned to Saint Lucia in the hotel sector,” he observed to applause from his audience.

But he explained that foreign investors do not represent the cure for all of Saint Lucia’s economic problems.

“This is our economy – this is our country, and we must resolve to be the masters of our economy so that we can push its advancement for the good of all the people,” the Prime Minister noted.

Pierre is also responsible for Finance, Economic Development, and the Youth Economy.

He said his aim and that of his administration is to provide the framework to allow Saint Lucians to create wealth in their own country.

In this regard, the Prime Minister disclosed that his administration has committed to providing grants and soft loan funding for micro, small and medium-sized businesses through the Saint Lucia Development Bank and the Department of Commerce.

Pierre said the initiative would start this year and continue for four to five years.

He also observed that similar support would be available for the Youth Economy.

France’s Influence On The Casino World, Including The Caribbean

/0 Comments/in /by

Black Immigrant Daily News

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Thurs. Nov. 3, 2022: Travel to many places in the world and you are sure to find the influence of France. These include the islands of the Caribbean like Guadeloupe, Martinique and St Barthélemy, territories of France.

One of the most notable marks of France on these countries is undoubtedly the world of the casinos. Although there is considerable debate as to whether it was in fact Italy where the first casino opened in the 17th century, it’s undeniable that within a few years the focus moved to France.

Seeing the opportunity to raise valuable taxes for the state, the Secretary General of the time, Cardinal Mazarin was very liberal in the granting of licenses to new casinos. This led to a huge number opening across the nation in a relatively short period of time

This explosion of casino culture was also very much driven by the creation of a number of games that are still firm favourites today all over the world. Perhaps the most notable of these is that perennial and quintessential casino game, roulette. Allegedly invented as a result of experiments by the mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal to invent a perpetual motion machine, the roulette wheel proved to be an intriguing and enticing way to wager.

USA, Nevada, Las Vegas

Of course, roulette isn’t the only casino game to have its origins in France. One only has to look at the most popular card game blackjack to see that this was another example. It was originally called “vingt et un,” referring to the ideal score of twenty-one that all players want to achieve. In fact, it was only renamed blackjack by US casinos who wanted to add the extra rule that anyone scoring this with the ace of spades and jack of spades or clubs would win ten times their stake.

The French influence is also there for all to see in the language that is often used around casino games, not simply the names themselves. So, we have “faites vos jeux” as an invitation to bet and “rien ne va plus” when the cut-off point is reached. There are also expressions like “la partage” and “en prison” used when the ball lands on the zero in roulette.

With such a rich heritage it’s little surprise that casinos continue to be very popular in places where the French identity is strong. Their timeless appeal has even carried on to the internet age where, for example, BonusFinder is a great source for online casinos in Quebec. Many of these operate in the French language and all offer very generous welcome bonuses for new players.

Within the French West Indies, Sint Maarten is also home to many traditional casinos with the prestigious resort of Simpson Bay being a particular hotspot.

So, the influence continues – and while Las Vegas be the biggest and brashest of manifestations of the casino world – it’s the Francophone one that is the most long-standing.

49.3: un gouvernement “maître de la loi” faute de compromis trouvés, selon une experte

Le recours à répétition à l’arme constitutionnelle du 49.3 “s’impose”, faute de majorité absolue, mais le gouvernement tend à se faire “maître de la loi”, relève auprès de l’AFP la constitutionnaliste Lauréline Fontaine, qui s’interroge sur la volonté de chacun de “compromis véritables”.

Question – Un nouveau 49.3, le quatrième en deux semaines, a été dégainé mercredi pour faire adopter le projet de budget de l’Etat sans vote. La pratique d’Elisabeth Borne est-elle inédite?

Réponse – “Presque tous les Premiers ministres ont eu à utiliser le 49.3, et spécialement Raymond Barre, Michel Rocard et Edith Cresson qui étaient en situation de majorité relative. Cet outil n’a été déclenché qu’une seule fois sous le précédent quinquennat car la majorité était solide. Il s’agissait alors (en février 2020) de faire passer le projet de réforme des retraites face à l’obstruction. Désormais nous sommes dans une nouvelle configuration politique et le 49.3 s’impose de lui-même, en vertu de la Ve République. C’est presque une obligation de l’utiliser si le gouvernement veut avancer.

En apparence, la méthode utilisée par Elisabeth Borne est un peu moins brutale car il y a eu du débat avec les députés, et des arrangements ont été trouvés. Mais les raisons invoquées mercredi par la Première ministre – un texte +profondément dénaturé+ par les votes de l’Assemblée – sont étonnantes, dans la négation du travail parlementaire. Bien sûr c’est son droit de choisir le texte et les amendements sur lesquels elle engage sa responsabilité, toutefois c’est un discours qui fait apparaître comme légitime que le gouvernement soit maître de la loi.”

Q – Est-ce que l’exécutif affaiblit le Parlement, à rebours de ses intentions affichées?

R – “Dès 2017, Emmanuel Macron dans son programme pour la présidentielle souhaitait que la procédure accélérée pour les textes de loi devant le Parlement devienne la norme. Comme si la délibération n’était pas fondamentale, alors qu’elle est censée être la source de meilleures lois. Et sous le dernier quinquennat, nous avons atteint le summum d’une majorité absente: le travail était parfois pathétique et les débats indigents, ce n’était pas du tout une Assemblée qui avait envie de faire son travail. J’attribue cela à un manque de culture politique forte. Les députés disposent pourtant d’outils vis-à-vis du gouvernement.

Avec ces 49.3, c’est un épisode de plus. Cela affaiblit un tas de principes. L’organisation des pouvoirs prévoit pourtant qui propose la loi, qui fait la loi, qui exécute la loi… Les oppositions n’ont guère de choix actuellement, si ce n’est de déposer des motions de censure pour tenter de renverser le gouvernement”.

Q – Comment les institutions peuvent-elles tenir ainsi tout un quinquennat?

R – “C’est bancal. Emmanuel Macron n’a pas joué le jeu pour construire une coalition, mais cela aurait donné une pratique de la Ve République contraire à ce que voulait le général de Gaulle. Donc on est conduit à chercher sur chaque texte de loi des coalitions nouvelles, ce qui nécessite des compromis politiques. Or sa majorité ne semble pas prête à faire des compromis véritables, comme l’a montré l’examen du budget. Cependant c’est un jeu à plusieurs, oppositions comprises.

Est-ce qu’Emmanuel Macron souhaitera dissoudre l’Assemblée nationale? C’est une arme à double tranchant. Il faudrait qu’il accepte une possible cohabitation, mais ce ne serait pas évident avec une majorité sans doute fragmentée. Il y a aussi une chance que de nouvelles élections donnent une meilleure majorité au président. Aux électeurs de choisir”.

Élisabeth Borne a annoncé jeudi un “fonds pour une aide alimentaire durable” de 60 millions d’euros en 2023, destiné à permettre aux Français “les plus fragiles” d’accéder à “une alimentation de qualité”, lors d’une visite de la Banque alimentaire de la Marne, à Reims.

“C’est 60 millions d’euros que nous allons mobiliser en 2023 pour à la fois soutenir nos grands acteurs nationaux, pour qu’ils puissent acheter davantage de produits de qualité, de produits frais”, a déclaré la Première ministre à la presse à l’issue de sa visite.

“On veut également soutenir des initiatives comme celle qu’on a pu voir ce matin dans les territoires, par exemple des produits de qualité en circuit court pour nos banques alimentaires et les associations qui sont mobilisées sur cette aide alimentaire”, a expliqué Mme Borne.

La Première ministre était accompagnée pour ce déplacement du ministre des Solidarités Jean-Christophe Combe et de la secrétaire d’État à l’Économie sociale et solidaire et de la Vie associative, Marlène Schiappa. Le maire (Horizons) de Reims Arnaud Robinet était également présent.

Ces 60 millions d’euros iront, a expliqué Mme Borne, “à la fois aux grands réseaux nationaux qui proposent de l’aide alimentaire, dans des appels à projets qu’on va lancer” mais également “à des projets locaux, au travers des préfets de région”.

Ces derniers “pourront soutenir des initiatives (…) entre les agriculteurs, des producteurs qui pourront aussi proposer des circuits courts pour une alimentation de qualité. Par exemple aussi mettre en place des chèques alimentation durable puisque c’est quelque chose qu’on veut pouvoir développer ensuite à l’échelle nationale”, a poursuivi la cheffe du gouvernement.

“On travaille sur un chèque alimentation, qui est un sujet très compliqué. On a souhaité démarrer avec ce dispositif d’aide alimentaire renforçant la qualité des produits qui sont proposés”, a-t-elle précisé.

Casse-tête pour l’exécutif, le chèque alimentaire ne figure pas dans le budget 2023. Il devait initialement permettre aux foyers modestes d’acheter des produits frais et locaux, mais devant la complexité du système, le gouvernement avait annoncé en juin qu’il se fondrait dans un “chèque inflation”, plus simple, distribué à la rentrée.

Yellowstone, Pyrénées, Kilimandjaro: ces glaciers emblématiques vont dispaître, alerte l’Unesco

Plusieurs glaciers du monde parmi les plus emblématiques, dont le Yellowstone, les Pyrénées et le Kilimandjaro, vont disparaître d’ici à 2050 “quel que soit le scénario climatique”, a prévenu jeudi l’Unesco…

Plusieurs glaciers du monde parmi les plus emblématiques, dont le Yellowstone, les Pyrénées et le Kilimandjaro, vont disparaître d’ici à 2050 “quel que soit le scénario climatique”, a prévenu jeudi l’Unesco à quelques jours de la COP 27.

L’organisation des Nations unies pour l’éducation, la science et la culture (Unesco) appelle ainsi à “rapidement réduire les émissions de CO2” pour préserver les autres glaciers qu’elle a inscrits au patrimoine mondial.

L’étude porte sur 18.600 glaciers de 66.000 km2 au total répartis sur 50 sites du patrimoine mondial, soit 10% de la surface glaciaire totale de la terre, précise l’Unesco.

Sur un tiers de ces sites, les glaciers vont complètement disparaître. Les autres “pourraient être sauvés si nous limitions le réchauffement climatique à 1,5 degré” par une réduction “drastique” des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, prévient l’organisation.

Les glaciers du patrimoine mondial fondent à raison de 58 milliards de tonnes de glace chaque année, soit le volume d’eau utilisé annuellement par la France et l’Espagne, contribuant 5% à l’élévation mondiale du niveau de la mer, selon le rapport.

La vitesse du recul des glaciers “inquiète”, d’autant plus que “la fonte s’accélère”, a détaillé à l’AFP Tales Carvalho Resende, co-auteur de l’étude.

Selon le rapport du Groupe d’experts intergouvernemental sur l’évolution du climat (Giec) paru au printemps, la fonte des glaces et des neiges est l’une des dix menaces majeures causées par le réchauffement climatique.

La conférence COP 27 de l’ONU sur le climat, qui se tient du 6 au 18 novembre dans la station balnéaire égyptienne de Charm el-Cheikh, “aura un rôle crucial à jouer pour aider à trouver des solutions”, a souligné la directrice de l’Unesco, Audrey Azoulay, dans un communiqué.

17 sites

Les glaciers des sites classés au patrimoine mondial sont un échantillon représentatif de “tous les types de glaciers” du monde. La fonte se constate partout, et principalement en Amérique du Nord et dans l’Arctique.

L’ensemble des glaciers classés en Afrique va disparître d’ici à 2050, notamment ceux du Parc national du Kilimandjaro, en Tanzanie, ou du Mont Kenya.

En Europe, les glaciers des Pyrénées-Mont Perdu en France et en Espagne devraient disparaître, au même titre que ceux des Dolomites en Italie, du haut lieu tectonique suisse Sardona et des parcs nationaux du Yellowstone et de Yosemite aux Etats-Unis. Trois sites classés en Russie vont également voir leurs glaciers fondre entièrement.

Au total, les glaciers de 17 sites classés au patrimoine mondial n’existeront plus d’ici à 2050, projette l’Unesco, à partir d’une analyse de données satellitaires réalisée avec l’Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature (UICN).

Les glaciers des aires protégées des trois fleuves parallèles au Yunnan en Chine ont vu leur volume divisé par plus de deux et fondent actuellement le plus rapidement parmi les sites classés.

Fonds spécial

Si les émissions de gaz à effet de serre restaient à leur niveau actuel, “environ 50% des glaciers du patrimoine mondial pourraient presque entièrement disparaître d’ici 2100”, s’alarme encore l’organisation.

L’impact sera “environnemental, sur la biodiversité et sur les ressources d’eau”, souligne M. Carvalho Resende, sans “oublier que ces glaciers ont également une importance culturelle pour les communautés locales”.

La fonte expose “des millions de personnes” au “manque d’eau et au risque accru de catastrophes naturelles”, renchérit Bruno Oberle, directeur général de l’UICN, dans le communiqué.

En insistant sur les glaciers les plus connus, l’Unesco espère provoquer une “une prise de conscience” plus forte pour des engagements “plus ambitieux”, selon M Carvalho Resende.

Au-delà d’un appel à une réduction des émissions, l’Unesco demande la création d’un “fonds international pour la surveillance et la préservation des glaciers”.

“Il y a toujours un manque de données assez important”, pointe le co-auteur.

Par ailleurs, “même si on arrête drastiquement les émissions, les glaciers vont continuer à reculer” et “il faudra mettre en place des actions d’adaptation” face aux bouleversements inévitables que cela provoquera, note-t-il.
