During a live television interview on Thursday, July 9, former Finance Minister Karen Nunez-Tesheira appeared to suffer a medical emergency. The incident took place on ‘Conversations with Zelisha’ on Real TV, prompting the unexpected end of the broadcast and subsequent concern among viewers.
Nunez-Tesheira, a seasoned politician and attorney, served as the Finance Minister from 2007 to 2010 under the People’s National Movement (PNM). She continued to play an active role in national affairs even after her tenure, contesting the PNM leadership in 2022, though she was unsuccessful. The following year, she resigned from the party, citing serious challenges facing democracy in Trinidad and Tobago.
The broadcast was abruptly interrupted when Nunez-Tesheira seemed to become unwell. The livestream was subsequently taken offline, leaving viewers in suspense about her health condition. As of now, there is no official statement confirming the nature of the incident or providing an update on her health.
News of the incident quickly spread online, with many expressing their concern and offering prayers for her recovery. While the public awaits official information about her health, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the often unpredictable nature of live television.
