We must keep democracy alive in Guyana

Jul 06, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,
I read with amazement a letter written by Hamilton Green lecturing the Chairman of Caricom, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves.
I found Green’s letter ironic in so many ways. Green is lecturing Ralph Gonsalves, for being very vocal and rightly so, in fighting for the will of the voters in Guyana to be respected.
Green is suggesting that Dr. Gonsalves should take a page out of the Book of many other CARICOM Heads of Government and Leaders of Political and Social grouping – to “maintain a level of cohesion and comradery within CARICOM”.
Green goes on to do what many of his Comrades in the PNC have done, he attempts to throw mud on Dr. Gonsalves and to lecture us on democracy.
Is Green living in a fantasy world?
Doesn’t Green realize that Carciom and the free world are not accepting electoral fraud? It is unfortunate that dinosaurs like Green have not figured out that electoral fraud in 2020 is not acceptable and sticking together for some deprived higher cause is not an option.
Unlike Hamilton Green, many Guyanese in and out of Guyana are happy that Mia Mottley, Ralph Gonsalves, EU, USA, Canada, etc. are standing up against electoral fraud in Guyana.
Those dark days of election rigging of the PNC should not be allowed to return to our country and the voices of everyone fighting for democracy in Guyana including CARICOM are welcome.
I remember Hamilton Green writing that he resides in the US.
If he continues to do so, he should have, like other Guyanese living in the US, embrace democracy especially on the weekend of July 4th and try and hope for the same in Guyana.
CARICOM and others are standing firmly on the right side of history.
I invite Hamilton Green to do the same.
It is my hope that the voices of those fighting for democracy in Guyana prevail and we keep democracy alive in Guyana!!!
Sincerely,
C. De Barros
