Jose Cardenas, a political consultant based in Washington, DC, yesterday said that Guyana’s current political situation is “troublesome” and it paves the way for sanctions to be imposed and restrictions can also be placed on the country’s oil funds if the will of the people is not respected.
Cardenas, who has over 30 years of experience in the Washington political process and inter-American relations, made this disclosure during a virtual meeting held with the media yesterday.
“The controversies and the evolution of the political process in Guyana is an election that took place in March 2nd and here we are June 27th and there is still not a declared winner. Well that’s troublesome. It generates an amount of concern for the health of Guyana’s democracy and also for the Guyanese people…a hundred and something days later and yet the Guyanese people do not know who is going to be leading their next government,” Cardenas said.
