EX-Petrotrin Pointe-a-Pierre refinery workers staged their second protest in as many days on Sunday, demanding the restart of the refinery in the face of rising fuel prices.

Led by Oilfield Workers Trade Union (OWTU) Pointe-a-Pierre branch president Christopher Jackman, about two dozen ex-employees marched from Marabella to the main gate of the refinery.

They waved a national flag and carried placards which demanded the refinery be sold to Patriotic Energy and Technologies Co Ltd. They insisted Petrotrin's closure, four years ago, was "a hostile takeover, not a restructuring.” The workers said refineries all over the world were profiting.

Jackman said the protest was triggered by statements by the Prime Minister about the lack of interest in the refinery, except from one entity. Dr Rowley also said it was not a budgetary item for the next fiscal year.

“That was a kind of dagger in the heart for former refinery workers, because here we are, still waiting after four years for an update on the status of the RFPs (request for proposals); for the refinery to be reopened; and for people to return to work,” Jackman told Newsday.

He called on Government to come clean on the RFP process and identify the interests. He maintained Patriotic had the expertise.

Countering Rowley’s claim that Petrotrin was a loss-making entity, costing the state billions annually, Jackman said the union made a freedom of information request on the cost by Paria to import fuel.

“We found it is twice as much as the so-called burden caused by the refinery,” Jackman said. “The Prime Minister’s statements are quite demeaning and insulting and unacceptable.”

He said while the refinery had issues, it was a profit-making asset and could add value going forward for the country in terms of employment, earning foreign exchange and to counter the increase in the cost of fuel which has the capacity to send everything up.

“This is a multi-billion asset rotting away four years now, and we have no clue as to the way forward. Refineries around the world are now making three times their regular profit, and according to OPEC, fuel prices are expected to skyrocket.

“We have a refinery here, but because of its closure, citizens are at the mercy of fluctuating prices. We no longer have fuel security. We want our refinery restarted now.”

He said protests will intensify, and the union will invite taxi drivers and fishermen who are also reeling from high fuel costs. Lake Asphalt workers, who are also feeling the brunt of Petrotrin's closure because of the shortage of bitumen, will also be invited to join the union.

Trinidad and Tobago's men's football coach Angus Eve has made an open call to citizens of TT to come out and support the Soca Warriors at Hasely Crawford Stadium in Mucurapo on Friday, as they face their biggest Concacaf Nations League A group test against Guatemala, from 9pm.

Eve made these remarks at the start of the team's training camp at Manny Ramjohn Stadium in Marabella on Monday.

Eve also announced his 23-man squad, which saw three changes from the previous international window.

Right-back Alvin Jones replaces Shannon Gomez, striker Real Gill is in for Malcolm Shaw and left winger/forward Tyrone Charles dislodged Brent Sam from the team list. Both Gomez and Shaw are nursing minor injuries.

Six foreign-based players - Noah Powder, Aubrey David, Kareem Moses, Andre Raymond, Ryan Telfer and Andre Rampersad - are expected to arrive in Trinidad on Tuesday, to join Eve's camp.

TT won their two opening group A matches against Curacao and El Salvador, and are now chasing three wins on the trot, to book a spot in the Concacaf Nations League A quarterfinals.

'I think these guys deserve your support - by what they did, the effort they're giving. Nobody expected us to win the games. Winning, however, has boosted their confidence.

'But what people have seen with this group is their willingness to fight for the country, the jersey, and more importantly, the messages these guys are sending out.'

Eve said players and staff sometime look at comments on social media, and are taken aback by the public's negativity. While he acknowledged they're not a perfect team, he said patriotism and positivity go a long way.

'They (team) don't believe the people are supporting them....We're in a rebuilding stage. It's young players; we have 18 and 19 year olds here.

'They're going out there and putting their best foot forward...They look at social media - I don't - and they see: 'We're going to get five (goals),' and 'We're going to get eight,' - that's not people supporting the team.

'It's sad for us to be thinking like that as a community, especially with these guys who really trying to do something for the country,' he added.

Among the squad are forwards Reon Moore, Nathaniel James and Tyrone Charles; midfielders Kaile Auvray, Duane Muckette, Kevon Goddard, Neveal Hackshaw, Kristian Lee-Him and Michel Poon Angeron.

The other defenders are Justin Garcia, Jesse Williams, Kareem Moses and Ross Russell Jr while goalkeepers Christopher Biggette, Jabari St Hillaire and Denzil Smith were also called up.

'This is the first day that we have the group. We still have six players to come in because they played over the weekend. Thank God they didn't pick up any injuries so they're good to go.

'We're in transition. When this group of players come in, there was a little cloud over them. And I think it hampered us in the first half of the first match (Curacao), second half we were better. And we were even better in the second match (El Salvador) at home.
