AFC condmens Brazil government interference to influence national politics

Georgetown :  The Alliance For Change ( AFC) condemns in the strongest terms, the violation of Guyana’s sovereignty, which occurred yesterday  in Lethem, Rupununi, where the Federal Governor of the State of Roraima, José de Anchieta Junior, ascended the political platform of the PPP/C.

The misguided Governor must have been aware that the nation is about to have National and Regional elections, and that it is bad protocol for one state to openly seek to influence the politics of another state; even if invited to do so by one of the political parties.

This act of being seen, and speaking, at a political rally in another country is a clear violation of protocol, and international laws and conventions.

The AFC intends to seek an explanation from the Government of Brazil, not only about this event, but as to the larger issue of Brazilian interest in Guyana; and it is now clear that there is profound interest and involvement beyond the expected government to government relations.
