PPP/C in campaign mode, PNC/R in snooze

Jun 07, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

Within the last thirty days or more the PPP/C has been in almost full political campaign mode in the four daily print media, with the party’s spokesperson General Secretary Vice President Jagdeo talking about issues from a political party policy position and governance and President Ali addressing current government issues to do with the state.

A question for today is, should Ambassador Diplomat Leslie Ramsammy be writing political party campaign articles while holding the office?

On the other side of the political spectrum the PNCR-APNU does not seem to really be putting in the effort to readily respond, challenge, and debate the PPP/C and there are many opportunities to do so during primetime news hours on TV channels 11 and 28 per election season and the four main newspapers not just the Village Voice online.

A recent article after the PPP/C congress states the PPP/C has now discontinued the pursuit of Marxism – Leninism ideology they are about 37 years late in deleting that ideology from their constitution. They also announced that they are “on a path promoting a fair and equitable society” so what did they stand for in the last thirty years?

Well the PNC fully dismantled remnants of Marxism – Leninism socialism economy in the late 80″s at the urging of the U.S to be able to have a more open economy to attract more foreign investors and allow private foreign ownership.

President Ali is as Capitalist as they come he is aggressive in obtaining Foreign Investment and private ownership deals. He is not shy about taking on very large credit and financial risk for fast development in addition to the oil funds, he has a huge appetite for development projects, whether his Finance Minister and Vice President agree with his decisions on national projects development strategy and blueprint only they know internally. However it must be a question to start asking the voters now. In addition to this the PNC has always nurtured, embraced and pioneered pluralism, racial harmony, national unity, racial and religious harmony and tolerance. At our national events Christians, Hindus and Muslims say unique prayers.

Best wishes,
