Prime Minister Stuart Young says the United National Congress (UNC) is using “black Trinidadians” to spread a message of division and hate in the general election campaign.

Speaking at a People’s National Movement meeting at Signature Hall, Chaguanas, on Thursday evening, Young gave two examples of people associated with the UNC attempting to use scare tactics against PNM supporters.

Addressing an audience which included former UNC member Larry Lalla, Young said everyone was affected by crime—every businessman, every mother and father.
