The combined opposition yesterday restated that there will be no extra-parliamentary talks with the government, piling further pressure on President Donald Ramotar to signal when the House will be reconvened or fresh elections called.
With Ramotar’s suspension of Parliament on Monday continuing to rankle the opposition, APNU yesterday announced a rally at the Square of the Revolution tomorrow at which the AFC will be present.
In his statement on Monday suspending parliament for what could be up to six months, Ramotar said that if there was no prospect of dialogue he would call early elections.
“The Joint Opposition have resolved that there will be no extra parliamentary engagement with the President on the matters which were before the National Assembly,” A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) and the Alliance For Change (AFC) proclaimed in a joint statement yesterday.
The statement added that “The Joint Opposition have further resolved that they will embark upon a series of measures dedicated to restoration of the National Assembly as the most appropriate venue for the discussion and consideration of affairs of the state and its people… The APNU and AFC will alert the international community,
