Tobago House of Assembly Chief Secretary Farley Augustine has praised Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar for having “more balls” than her male Caricom counterparts, citing her handling of regional security and geopolitical developments discussed at last week’s Caricom Heads of Government meeting in St Kitts and Nevis.
Speaking on Sunday in his first briefing after attending the summit, Augustine said Persad-Bissessar’s analysis of events surrounding Venezuela showed pragmatism and a clear understanding of international power dynamics.
During her February 24 address, Persad-Bissessar criticised Caricom for not defending member states Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana when Venezuela was “threatening violence” against them.
