Barbados Opposition Says Free Movement Plan Is ILLEGAL!
Barbados’ Opposition Leader Ralph Thorne K.C. is challenging the legality of Prime Minister Mia Mottley’s new CARICOM free movement plan, set to begin October 1, 2025.
The Democratic Labour Party (DLP) says the government’s decision to allow nationals from Belize, Dominica, and St. Vincent & the Grenadines to live and work freely in Barbados has no legal foundation, since it wasn’t approved by Parliament.
Former Foreign Affairs Minister Senator Maxine McClean and attorney Corey Greenidge also weighed in, raising red flags about citizenship laws, voter eligibility, and the impact of Caribbean integration without proper legislation.
Is this a step toward regional unity — or a political overreach?
