AFC’s Raphael Trotman is in no position to behave like Merkel
Dear Editor,
Freddie Kissoon attempted in his article of the 17th February, 2018 to draw an analogy between the Merkel coalition and the AFC’s presence in the Guyana government coalition. What he did not realize or deliberately neglected was that Merkel’s party is the dominant party in the coalition, and so, as the Chancellor indicated, the junior party will not be allowed to do what it wants in the Finance Ministry.
The same obviously would apply in the Guyana coalition where the dominant party, the PNC, would not allow its junior partner, the AFC, despite having more Ministries than what they really should have, to do whatever they want even though the PNC has never publicly stated this.
So the AFC’s leader, Raphael Trotman, is in no position as the leader of a junior party in the coalition, behave like Merkel and make statements to that effect simply because they are not the dominant party in the coalition.
