“The right of a people to self-determination is a cardinal principle in modern international law, binding, as such, on the UN as authoritative interpretation of the Charter's norms. It states that people, based on respect for the principle of equal rights and fair equality of opportunity, have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status with no interference.”
“During World War II, the principle was included in the Atlantic Charter, declared on 14 August 1941, by Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States, and Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, who pledged The Eight Principal points of the Charter. It was recognized as an international legal right after it was explicitly listed as a right in the UN Charter”
Therefore, the EU tax requirements and threats on other nations are an explicit violation of an international legal right and the UN Charter. Will the Bahamas government grow some balls and call on the UN to stop these violations?
This is a really stupid and ignorant comment. Do you read other Tribune articles:
"Insight: It’S 10 O’Clock On Friday Night And On Paradise Island The Party’S Going Strong"
"There we entered an open space filled with picnic tables occupied to capacity with men and women mostly in their mid-thirties. In the spaces between the picnic tables others were gyrating to the sounds of extremely loud, soca music coming from the DJ’s set complete with loud speakers. The crowd was definitely shoulder to shoulder – standing room only – and being hyped by the mic-friendly DJ.
There was also a covered area with a large bar and other tables where all seats were taken and the over flow patrons stood in between. As we meandered through the tables and at least two hundred patrons, the smell of high grade marijuana permeated the air. We saw a few patrons enjoying marijuana joints out in the open while engaging in conversations with their peers.
The place was definitely “jumping” and only three patrons wore masks; one of them being me. "

From Wikipedia on self-determination:
“The right of a people to self-determination is a cardinal principle in modern international law, binding, as such, on the UN as authoritative interpretation of the Charter's norms. It states that people, based on respect for the principle of equal rights and fair equality of opportunity, have the right to freely choose their sovereignty and international political status with no interference.”

There are two possible reasons for Minnis to call an election now:
1. Minnis thinks he will win the election on his handling of Covid
2. Minnis must implement a substantial increase in taxes, which he can only do after an election
