Given the developments in wake of the passage of the December 21st no-confidence motion against government, Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday told representatives of several diplomatic missions and international organisations that a constitutional crisis is brewing.
“They are behaving as though nothing happened and that we are in a normal situation when we are heading to a constitutional crisis. So, I pointed out clearly… that rapid pathway to a constitutional crisis and what will take place once the country gets into the constitutional crisis [and] how we will act,” Jagdeo told reporters shortly after the briefing session had ended.
The meeting was called at the behest of Jagdeo and was held at his Church Street office. Among the countries represented were Mexico, Brazil, China, Chile and India. Representatives of the European Union (EU), the United Nations (UN) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) were also present. No representatives of the ABC countries were present yesterday and this newspaper was told that this was because a meeting was held with their representatives earlier this month.
