Jack Warner has accused National Security Minister Marvin Gonzales of promoting violence on the campaign trail, after Gonzales told supporters to “bury [Warner] in the Lopinot cemetery” during a PNM meeting earlier this week.
In a lengthy statement, Warner said he was “amused and disturbed” by Gonzales’ remarks, calling them a “moronic attempt to channel rage” and warning they could incite real harm. “We have not heard politicians in Trinidad and Tobago, regionally or within the Commonwealth, call for the death of one of their peers regardless of the politics they support,” Warner said.
Warner was responding to comments Gonzales made at a rally in Arouca/Lopinot on April 9. Referring to Warner’s 2020 challenge in the constituency, Gonzales said: “I put him in the blasted box… We have a responsibility April 28 to put Jack in the box once and for all. And let us bury him in the Lopinot cemetery!”
