Op­po­si­tion Leader Pen­ny Beck­les yes­ter­day called on the Prime Min­is­ter to say what she promised in ex­change for the six-month pro­vi­sion­al OFAC li­cence from the Unit­ed States for the Drag­on gas project.

Beck­les said the econ­o­my was not de­signed to be man­aged by in­ex­pe­ri­enced mis­fits “or those who wish to use nu­clear weapons against our clos­est neigh­bour, not un­der­stand­ing that if that ac­tu­al­ly oc­curs, we would all die from nu­clear fall­out.”

“The PNM will not sup­port the diplo­mat­ic and na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty cri­sis be­ing per­pe­trat­ed by this Gov­ern­ment on in­no­cent cit­i­zens who now live in fear of be­ing tar­gets in a greater geopo­lit­i­cal game,” Beck­les said dur­ing her 2026 Bud­get pre­sen­ta­tion.
