No accommodation for Opposition at flag-raising ceremony

It is an important Topic. A bunch of disgraceful Hooligan running Guyana!!!!!!!!

This is a real shame!!!

What was expected to be a unified front for this special occasion turned out to be an embarrassment created by the PNC minister and government.

DG, I am not at all surprise. Those people are INHUMAN, DESTRUCTIVE, BULLIES, HOOLIGANS, they have always been like that. That is exactly what they teach at Sophia University.  Many on this Board were "Heducated" there!!!!!!!!!

Nehru, the PNC/AFC continue its activities with one step forward and ten steps backwards.

this seemed like a no brainer....very dissappointing

Ray, they talk about Unity, the very way they talked about CHANGe.. REmember the slogans just before May 11 , 2015, everything had the word change. But they forgot to say change for the worst.

Given that the PPP was refusing to be involved in this event until recently, why the shock that people didn't expect them to show up in numbers?

This is what happens when folks play hard to get?

The PPP should be aggressively transforming itself from being the "coolie people party interested only in consolidating the East Indian support base". 

If they play that silly "blackman must apologize because we innocent, they will be ignored".  The onus is as much on the PPP as it is on the coalition to do outreach. 

When Granger assumed duties he tried to outreach, and was rebuffed by the PPP.

Your total response, as usual, is irrelevant to the focused item.

Of note .. It was apt for the government to show its attempt, for the first time on this occasion, to bring together the two major political groups for the public-at-large to see a step in the right direction.

The first thing that they attempted to so was exactly that when they assumed office.

The PPP screamed that they weren't going to have any contact with them.

Now you wonder why APNU felt that PPP folks wouldn't show up, so only assigned seats for the top level officials, as protocol would dictate.

One hand cannot clap, so if the PPP doesn't raise their hands, then there will be no claps.  Sorry this "blackman must apologize" strategy of the PPP has gotten very boring.

This was not the time to play that game of tit for tat

No tit for tat here.  If the PPP says that they aren't interested in dialogue, then others move on.  Who wants to run behind folks who continually reject you.

You are not even a paid or unpaid Advisor for the coalition, yet you find time to defend injustice, the government were told of the PPP attendance and an approximate number was given. That is PNC UNITY, divide and rule, rule along racial lines, rule by Party lines, Change my ASS.

I am not paid, which shows that I say what I consider to be right.

The PPP are the last people to whine about this, when up to last week they were still wailing that the event was a waste of money, and that they weren't interested in participating.

And the PPP, which had almost no blacks in top decision making positions, which describes itself as the "coolie people party".  Which boasted that they "consolidated the East Indian support base", are the ones who outreach for unity?  And this after bottom house campaign last year that a PPP loss would mean that blacks would rape and kill East Indians and Amerindians.

Really not a good showing.

The notion of the PPP accusing any one of being exclusionary, or demanding that they ought to be treated the way that they didn't treat others, is a joke.

Yes, when Roger Luncheon, when asked why very few blacks headed gov't commissions, and corporations, and virtually none were appointed heads of overseas missions, said that "blacks aren't qualified".

Hmmm.  This is how the PPP signals their interest in unity.  A dose of their own medicine is what they deserve.

1. There was no attempt by the PNC for reconciliation when they became the government.

2. David Granger publicly acknowledge, after the issues were pressed for them to respond, that they did not seek reconciliation.

3. David Granger was clearly stated in the news media that he assumed that reconciliation was sought by his group.

Brown KKK racism in action. From a PPP supporter, why the shock.

You can invent your lies as you wish. Granger did invite the PPP for dialogue, and the PPP screamed back that the election was rigged, and they will not dialogue.

When the PPP won only 49% of the votes in 2011, did they want dialogue?  No.  They shut down parliament by refusing to consider proposals from the opposition, and screamed that they had the mandate, even though 51% of the voters rejected them.

The notion that the PPP criticizes any for exclusion is a joke. They even excluded the Civic, reducing them to being rubber stamps.
