Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar went off on the opposition after they questioned details about Tobago's new radar setup, and she accused the People's National Movement of being linked to criminals helping Venezuela dodge oil sanctions. Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles wanted transparency on costs and who controls the data, but Persad-Bissessar flipped it and demanded the PNM explain how long they knew the old radar was compromised and reveal which business figures tied to their party had illegal access to surveillance info.
Beckles shot back, saying the PM was creating distractions by throwing around drug trafficking accusations without proof, and she told Persad-Bissessar to take any evidence straight to the cops. The whole beef centers on whether the radar can actually catch illegal Venezuelan oil transfers and trafficking that the previous system supposedly missed.
