OPPOSITION Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar has described the swearing in of Stuart Young as the eight Prime Minister and the appointment of a Cabinet, without a general election, as a “bloodless coup d’etat.”

She also questioned the legitimacy of Camille Robinson Regis as the newly appointed Attorney General (AG) amidst concerns that she does not have a practising legal certificate.

“Today you lost your democracy,” she told supporters at a United National Congress (UNC) meeting at the Brazil Secondary School in the La Horquetta/Talparo constituency on March 17 as she lashed out at People’s National Movement (PNM) MPs, branding them as “cowards” for supporting Young’s succession.
