Premier Wheatley has ‘my pledge of support’– Hon Vanterpool
Hon Wheatley was sworn in last evening May 5, 2022, along with Government members, Hon Marlon A. Penn (R8) and Hon Melvin M. Turnbull (R2) as ministers to form a coalition government.
Speaking at yesterday’s 2nd Sitting of the 4th Session of the 4th House of Assembly at the Save the Seed Energy Centre in Duff's Bottom, Hon Vanterpool said, “I have given my pledge of support, not because of any party or any politics or anything.
"I have said to Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley, you have my full support to take us up from where we are, we are down,” he said.
Hon Vanterpool also lamented that the world is now viewing the VI in a negative light, but acknowledged that the territory is in a bad place.
'We are down'
“We must admit that we are down. The territory of the Virgin Islands is down and we can blame whoever we want to blame but we are down.
“The events of the last week and the CoI Report bring us to a position where we must admit to where we are,” Hon Vanterpool added.
The veteran legislator and backbencher in the National Unity Government noted too that May 5, 2022, in the VI must be remembered as a day when the leaders of the Virgin Islands had the courage to change course.
Speaking directly to Dr Wheatley, Hon Vanterpool said, “I hail you! You had the courage to bring a resolution to this House against your own government in a vote of no-Confidence,” he said.
Dr Wheatley became the VI’s newest premier after moving a successful no-confidence motion for the removal of former Premier Andrew A. Fahie, who is currently detained in the US on drug conspiracy and money laundering charges.

Serious hypocrisy.
Then he lately said that Hon. Natalio Sajande Wheatley has his pledge of support.
Hon. Mark Vanterpool is political liar to the core, according to his own words.
Apart from that, he is considered to be a good businessman, though politically twisted.
THEIR MAKE UP WHEN THEY LOOK IN THE MIRROR / , AND THAT WANNABE PROTEST REVEALED THEIR TRUE IDENTITY ???? ( SITTING DOWN IN THE STREET IS ONLY A
PUBLICITY STUNT , WE SAW THROUGH IT
Hon. Mark Vanterpool D4, don't you think it is time you to quit talking political hypocrisy to us. Don't you recognised that we know politically most of what you says are nothing more than political mouthing?
Onti another topic:
As a businessman the new supermarket that you will open in a few weeks in Fat Hog's Bay, D7 is very much welcome. Not only will you be greatly supported but it is yet again proof of you value ,and care, not only for money making purposes, but your willingness, and unselfish ability to serving the needs of others.
But as far as the political arena is concerned, please , Hon. Mark Vanterpool, stop flip flopping with political words, like a butterfly that flies through the air. We are tired of substanceless political rambling, many of us, truly.
