Political Activist Anthony James Calls For Tobagonians To Claim Their Rights To Freedom Through Constitutional Reform
Scarborough, Tobago – [Janurary] 2024 – Political activist Anthony James asserts that discussions about Tobago’s autonomy will not achieve their full potential without fundamental constitutional reform. Having closely monitored the ongoing discussions over several decades, James firmly believes that enshrining Tobago’s rights towards freedom directly into the national constitution is the definitive way forward.
James’s perspective highlights a long-standing point of contention in the island’s quest for greater self-governance. He argues that mere discussions or legislative changes without deep-seated constitutional amendments may not secure the comprehensive autonomy that Tobago seeks. His call emphasizes the need for a legal framework that fully empowers the island within the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
This viewpoint contributes to the ongoing national dialogue surrounding Tobago’s self-determination and the intricate process of constitutional reform necessary to achieve its aspirations.
