00:00Speaking to the media, the Congress of the People, headquarters in Kurep,

00:04Atunia's lower Prakash Ramadar emphasized that without protection of

00:08societal rights, individual freedoms are compromised as citizens live in fear

00:13while criminals continue to send a defiant message to the government and

00:17authorities. We have not seen the sort of response that is necessary by a

00:21government who took the power of a state of emergency and has done nothing

00:27effectively with it. It came more than a squeak, nothing more than a squeak. We

00:35have not seen the sort of response in the murder of Mr. Hector who died in

00:43service of this nation as a prosecutor. To me that was an attack on his state

00:48and it came the day after the announcement of a state of emergency.

00:52That was a response in my mind for those who are responsible for it to tell the

00:58state that you are nothing. Mr. Ramadar stated that the Congress of the

01:04People's intentions are not to assign blame but to contribute to improving

01:08Trinidad and Tobago. We are putting together policies and ideas that we will

01:13share with this government if the election is not soon called and even

01:18when the election is called we expect to be in government. The ambition of the

01:22Congress of the People is not to be a talk show but to take power with ideas

01:27and put it into implementation for the benefit of all of us. Whatever political

01:32party you belong to, whatever legacy of politics you have had, the Congress of

01:38the People is your home if you are a patriot.
