Jagdeo briefs Western diplomats on no-confidence vote

-has no plans to attend next session of Parliament

By Staff Editor 2 h ago

Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo earlier today met with representatives of the major western missions to brief them on the recent passage of the no confidence motion against the government and to outline the party’s concerns.

The one-hour meeting held at Jagdeo’s Church Street office saw the attendance of officials of the US, Canadian and British missions as well as the European Union.

Jagdeo while not wanting to go into details told reporters that the “briefing went well.”

None of the officials wanted to offer a comment when approached.

Additionally, Jagdeo said that the party has no plans to attend Parliament next Thursday and is open to meeting with the government before then to discuss elections matters.

America will decide who is the next Government. They will not sit by idly and allow an impasse in Guyana especially with all that oil.t

Indeed they will because we are now instrumental to one of their largest company's bottom line. Only a little trolling from the Venoes cause d a dip in their stocks. I do not think any of the ABC countries care for the PPP because they were offensively disrespectful in instances.

I think Jagdeo's meeting was to give assurance to the ABC countries.

Jagdeo met with the US Ambassador shortly before the motion was filed. Maybe he discussed it. Also, the New York Times article says Granger is slow to implement the regulatory and environmental infrastructure to support the Oil Find. Maybe they think the PPP can do a better job.
