In 23 years of PPP rule there were frequent incursions by Venezuela, with attacks on Guyanese, and seizure of property on Guyanese soil.  The PPP screams that they had excellent relationships with Venezuela.  Don't they now understand that it was all a plot by Chavez to get Guyana dependent on Venezuela, which would then allow Venezuela to call the shots.

 

Jagdeo has NOTHING to say on this Venezuela fiasco because the PPP messed up big time.  Had Granger listened to him and ran off to have one on one discussions with Maduro he would have shown weakness. 

 

The only card which Guyana has is international opinion, which usually backs the under dog in these border conflicts.  Especially when the stronger power is a bully, who is fast becoming an international pariah, and rejected in his OWN country.

 

Jagdeo needs to focus on revamping the PPP, so that it can survive outside of its fast dwindling support base.  On issues of diplomacy, he is a disaster.

 

Imagine where Guyana would be if the PPP was in power, the Western nations indifferent, and CARICOM ignoring Guyana, as Guyana ignored them! 

 

The PPP would have either had to send back that Exxon boat, and signal that Guyana waters will NEVER be open for oil exploration, and foreign investment in areas claimed by Venezuela to be risky.  Or they would have faced the same wrath of Maduro.

Carib,

I was referring to his statement in the article.
