Idiots, they should have gone to Europe, they would have been received with open arms, given free housing, free healthcare, free language classes, pocket money etc.
Just think for a moment all the taxpayer money that has been wasted in sectors that the government should not be involved. I am thinking in particular with airlines, international airports, and hotels.
I am no fan of the Chinese CCP, but right now they are funding the money losing Bahamar, Club Med, Hilton, Melia, Warwick and the Pointe.
Izmirlian must be happy not to own Bahamar today, because I doubt he would be paying one million dollar a day out of his pocket to keep Bahamar alive (as a reminder Bahamar went bankrupt twice under his leadership).
If these hotels were in weak hands they would have gone bankrupt and closed for good like the hotels in Freeport.
The sad truth is that today nobody but the Chinese are investing in hotels in the Bahamas.

"Some slave owners demanded reimbursement for their lost “property” after emancipation, and by 1876 the demand—and its overwhelming associated cost—had become useful as a threat. The above article in the New York Times, dated October 21, 1876, i.e., just before the big presidential election, contains the claim that Democrats planned on demanding slave owner compensation if they won the election. It’s tough to believe that such a project would have been feasible, but either way, the Republicans prevailed."
"In 1865, the Republicans passed the Thirteenth Amendment banning slavery."
"In 1872, the first seven black members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives were Republicans."
"In 1877, federal troops were removed from the Southern states and the era of Reconstruction ended. Democratic-controlled southern governments enacted segregation policies, called “Jim Crow Laws, which effectively disenfranchised blacks and segregated all aspects of society."
BTW the USA elected twice a black President and a black woman is now running America. I can't think of any country mostly populated by blacks who has elected a leader of another color.
In the case of George Floyd the chief of Police of Minneapolis was black (who of course did not resign) and the Mayor was a Democrat.
Kind of silly to compare a major global bank with a tiny bank that just changed shareholders because the Central Bank "demanded that Mr Molina resign from the bank’s board and dispose of his equity stake in PIB, plus any “affiliate businesses” in which the bank had an interest, by March 31 last year".
Also I find it interesting that this is your first post in the Tribune. What is your relationship with the bank? Or you can't disclose that either?
