Op­po­si­tion Leader Pen­ne­lope Beck­les shared mes­sages of love and con­cern for Trinidad and To­ba­go on so­cial me­dia, re­flect­ing on Valen­tine’s Day and con­demn­ing a dead­ly shoot­ing in Cou­va.

On Valen­tine’s Day, Beck­les ex­pressed grat­i­tude for her hus­band, de­scrib­ing him as her “strength and com­fort” and prais­ing their shared pur­pose and faith. She ex­tend­ed her mes­sage to the na­tion, urg­ing cit­i­zens to em­brace pa­tience, uni­ty and kind­ness.

“Trinidad and To­ba­go is at its best when we care for one an­oth­er and choose com­pas­sion,” she wrote.
