Debate Erupts Over Dr. Eric Williams’ Legacy Between PM and Opposition

A contentious debate has erupted between Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Opposition member Penelope Beckles regarding the legacy of Dr. Eric Williams, Trinidad and Tobago’s first prime minister. Beckles has accused the United National Congress (UNC) of distorting Williams’ historical significance, labeling the party’s portrayal as a betrayal of the nation’s history. In response, Persad-Bissessar has characterized the disagreement as a diversion from more pressing national concerns, emphasizing the need to focus on current issues that affect citizens rather than engage in historical disputes.
