CARIBBEAN economist Marla Dukharan has launched a stinging broadside against the European Union regarding what she said was its unilateral blacklisting of some developing countries such as Jamaica, others in the Caribbean and the wider globe.

Describing the EU’s blacklisting of these countries as an act of racism and bullyism, Dukharan didn’t hold back on her words as she ripped into the European political and economic union, questioning their authority to impose their own methodology globally and over and above the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which is the global intergovernmental money laundering and terrorist-financing watchdog.

FATF sets policy and international standards that aim to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing and the harm they cause to society in over 200 countries.
