Political leader of the Movement for Social Justice (MSJ), David Abdulah, has criticised Government’s handling of recent allegations involving Venezuela, urging a measured response grounded in diplomacy rather than speculation.
Speaking at a virtual news conference yesterday, Abdulah said the Government should have responded more cautiously to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s claims, rather than escalating tensions through reactionary statements.
“Rather than have, you know, statements that go backwards and forwards, ratcheting up the temperatures, what ought to have happened is actually Trinidad and Tobago, after the first statement by President Maduro, should simply have said, ‘We have noted that statement and we are now seeking to get information from Venezuela about this incident that they have reported,’” Abdulah said.
