Energy Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal has accused Opposition MP Stuart Young of attempting to undermine Trinidad and Tobago’s energy negotiations with Venezuela, and called on him to explain his recent meeting with Venezuelan acting President Delcy Rodríguez.

Speaking yesterday at the United National Congress’ (UNC) congress and report to the nation as it celebrated its first anniversary in office and 37 years as a party, in Couva, Moonilal said as the Government works to advance the energy sector, the People’s National Movement (PNM) has remained obstructionist.

“That PNM that is known for their wickedity, they are known as wicked, clueless, hapless, obstructionists. Stuart Young and the PNM continue to undermine our national interest. I am told that he was in Panama, he got lost and ended up in Venezuela.
