The Alliance For Change (AFC) says in a press statement that it is “sickened by the remarks of Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo that were used at a press conference (Thursday, November 23, 2023) to describe its Chairperson, Mrs. Cathy Hughes, a woman, wife, public personality, and elected official.”
The AFC said, “The vile comments that continue to spew from the forked tongue of Jagdeo continue, even as his government claims to be reaching out and encouraging unity, solidarity, and cooperation in the face of the threats coming from our Western neighbour.”
The party stated that the “obvious question is: how can the government be taken as being sincere and serious in one breath while a senior official, such as Jagdeo, takes delight in denigrating senior officials of other stakeholders with nasty and misogynistic comments in another breath?”
The AFC condemns Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo’s comments and is demanding an apology while questioning the sincerity of the PPP “in its expressions and entreaties for all Guyanese to work together.” “It cannot be overemphasized that the foundation for cooperation and collaboration is respect. It is clear that Jagdeo has no respect for anyone and has a low regard for women,” the AFC stated.
