People's Progressive Party

Amidst all of the issues facing Guyanese on the change in Government after 23 years of the People Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C), come the news, belatedly so, of the decree by the Bolivian Republic of Venezuela that essentially converts Guyana to a land locked country.
The details of the decree issued in late May 2015 are not fully clear but the outcome is to convert most of our Atlantic Ocean frontier to Venezuela based on their spurious land claim.
The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) in Government resolutely defended Guyana’s territorial integrity. In opposition the PPP maintains its rejection of the Venezuelan spurious claim and condemns in the strongest possible terms the May 27, 2015 decree of the Venezuela Government.
