00:00The next TH election is not tomorrow, neither is the general election, although we desperately need one now. Do you
00:10agree?
00:13So our preparation begins tonight, not next month, not next year, tonight. Organization begins tonight, voter engagement, community rebuilding, relationship
00:28repair, and most important, listening begins tonight.
00:34And I will serve with integrity.
00:40Mrs. Beckles spoke during the installation ceremony of the new PNM Tobago Council at the Buku Moravian Church in Tobago
00:49on Tuesday night.
00:50She said it was time to restore the PNM both in Tobago and in Trinidad.
00:55Not fragmented, not distracted, not divided. One movement, one mission, one PNM.
01:04And what is that mission? To restore confidence in our people, to defend Tobago's interests, to modernize our party, to
01:14rebuild our institutions, and to return the PNM to governance in both Trinidad and Tobago.
01:21She said Tobago is in trouble under the Tobago People's Party TPP-THA.
01:27As I speak about leadership, it is no secret that now Tobago faces a very different reality.
01:36As a matter of fact, a very troubling reality.
01:39A reality where leadership appears more concerned with political accommodation than principled advocacy.
01:46A Tobago administration increasingly willing to compromise Tobago's patrimony.
01:53Increasingly willing to align unquestionably with the UNC central government.
01:58The PNM political leader said the PNM remains committed to autonomy for Tobago.
