Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles has again signalled that the People’s National Movement (PNM) will not support any further extension of the State of Emergency (SoE).
Speaking to journalists outside Parliament yesterday, Beckles argued that the Government cannot rely indefinitely on emergency powers to address crime.
“It can’t be that you’re going to run a country with a perpetual State of Emergency,” she said.
