The United States (US) on Sunday dismissed Venezuela’s elections for a governor and legislative council for Guyana’s 160,000 square kilometers Essequibo Region.
“The United States rejects all attempts by Nicolas Maduro and his illegitimate regime to undermine Guyana’s territorial integrity, including this latest sham election in the Essequibo region,” the U.S. Bureau for Western Hemisphere Affairs said on Sunday.
Guyana’s National Assembly last Friday at, passed yet another motion reaffirming the “indissolubility” of Guyana’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The opposition A Partnership for National Unity+Alliance For Change did not support the motion on the grounds that government has not been engaging the opposition.
However, Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton made it clear that his side remains resolute that Guyana’s border with Venezueal was settled in 1899.
