Prime Minister Stuart Young is sharpening the PNM’s message—targeting misinformation, defending the government’s economic choices, and promising more efficient public services.
Speaking at a public meeting in San Juan on Friday, the Prime Minister called on voters to stay vigilant.
Prime Minister Stuart Young touched on crime, misinformation, and public service reform during his address at the People’s National Movement’s public meeting.
“I am warning us here in Trinidad and Tobago do not let Cambridge Analytica 2.0 take root in Trinidad and Tobago because what is insulting, what I find offensive as a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago and a person who cares about Trinidad and Tobago is the way that they are going about trying to mislead this population.”
The Prime Minister alleged coordinated online threats from opposition supporters and condemned what he described as a campaign fueled by division.
“They are recruiting our young black men and our young black girls, paying them $40,000 and putting them there in yellow is the code to attack PNM and I am wondering why is it that they are using racism as usual as part of their campaign.”
He also announced an increase in book grant allocations, along with a revision of the means test for social support programmes.
“We are going to increase the book grant allowances to 30,000 of our meaningful citizens an increase of 10,000 so citizens be assured that you have a government that does care about you because caring for citizens does not mean selling you what cannot be sold caring for your citizens does not mean collapse the country and promise what cannot be afforded.”
With less than three weeks to go before voters head to the polls, Mr. Young asked citizens to judge the PNM by its record.
