The government is sticking to its claim that the opposition is using its majority to subvert Parliamentary democracy and has put several international bodies on notice.Presidential Advisor,Authentic Jerseys From China, Gail Teixeira, yesterday said that the opposition is violating “sacred” Parliamentary norms and practices and she spoke of efforts to stifle the government’s business in Parliament.She said that among the organisations that the government has taken its claim to are the Organisation of American States (OAS), the Commonwealth Secretariat, the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and its branches, the Secretariat of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and Parliaments in the Caribbean, the Union of South American Nations and countries where Guyana has a diplomatic presence.The first time the government raised its claim was on August 23, at the Permanent Council of the OAS.The government claims that the subversion of parliamentary democracy in Guyana poses a serious and real threat to political stability.The document that has been circulated to the international community puts in chronological order “the attacks” launched by the political opposition immediately after the announcement of the November 28 polls.The government framed its case within several incidents, such as the Linden disturbances during July and August, and the Agricola protests in October where there were “continuous attempts to have similar such road blockages in other areas.”“These developments in the Guyana National Assembly over the last 11 months are at their least disturbing and worrying, however, they become more sinister when taken holistically with the consistent undermining and subversion of parliamentary democracy based on “the dictatorship of one” and repeated declarations of the “new dispensation” by the two opposition parties that their supporters are the majority and they must have their day,” the document which has been circulated states.The document claims that most of the powers attributed to the government under the Constitution are being compromised by the opposition.The government claims that it has made attempts to reason with the two opposition parties but these have proven futile.
