OPPOSITION Leader Pennelope Beckles has warned that truth is under threat from manipulation and superficial politics in Trinidad and Tobago.

She also warned failure to defend truth from these dual threats is tantamount to a surrender of the country's democracy.

Beckles, who is also PNM political leader, made this comment at the relaunch of the Dr Eric Williams Institute for Political Education at the San Fernando City auditorium on November 22.
