    CARIBBEAN INSIGHT The editorially independent publication of The Caribbean Council 3 February 2014 Volume 37, Number 5 Political discontent grows over Barbados’ economy Divisions within Barbados’ ruling Democratic Labour Party (DLP) over economic policy, the island’s ailing economy, and the way in which government and the country is being run, threaten to cause political turmoil. Speaking to journalists on 29 January, the Island’s Agriculture Minister, Dr David Estwick, said that he can no “longer sit silent” on whether the island’s present economic path is the right or wrong one or the path to be pursued. Dr Eastwick said, “this is not the time to be pig headed or this is not the time to close off all options. This is the time for innovation, this is the time for creativity and this is the time that every single option must be evaluated clinically and surgically in the interest of Barbados.” He said he could also not sit by “when this debate is raging on and when the outcome of any action may seriously undermine the stability of this country”. Dr Estwick, who is a former finance minister, said that he is uneasy about the direction of the island’s economy and is promising to make public his position in the coming weeks when he will make a full statement. “I am going to make my statement very, very soon on what my position is,” he told reporters, adding, “I was a man before I got into politics, and I can stay one if I am out of it.
