People’s National Movement chairman Marvin Gonzales has strongly defended the controversial 2018 closure of the Petrotrin refinery, describing it as a painful but necessary act of leadership taken to save Trinidad and Tobago from economic collapse.
Gonzales yesterday responded to trade union leaders who, during the Labour Day rally in Fyzabad on Friday, declared that working-class citizens continue to suffer from the fallout of the refinery’s shutdown.
Gonzales countered that the current United National Congress administration has presided over an estimated 60,000 job losses in its first year in office alone, drawing a sharp contrast between the two parties’ economic management.
