Guyana Times Reports on WIN's Internal Dynamics and Political Commentary

The Guyana Times reported that readers of Your Eyewitness might wonder whether to contact the party secretariat or call the Mohameds regarding statements from WIN's executives concerning current issues or opposition matters, observing that the increasing public remarks from Sanction Man, Big Sissie, Lil Sissie, and Daady resemble a family matter. The publication noted that the General Secretary's usual vocal presence was absent, leading to speculation.

The latest communication mentioned was a letter from Lil Sissie, which addressed Jagdeo's perceived political desperation and the PPP's fear of a shifting Guyana, presenting an energetic discourse on accountability, concentrated power, tolerance for dissent, and democratic institutions. Now even if Lil Sissie is right about Jagdeo worrying about WIN – that’s just him performing his PPP GS role – but tells us nothing about WIN’s internal democracy!! The party can answer the criticism easily enough – just show the membership exercising authority; show the executive making decisions – and let supposedly elected Executives speak with substance and independence!! Until then, the democratic preaching comes soaked with hypocrisy – all are invited to help change Guyana, but the microphone firmly remain family property!! Your Eyewitness expressed anticipation for the practical application of these principles locally, questioning when the major opposition party would have elected leadership speak rather than a family allegedly accumulating wealth illegally in the US.

Your Eyewitness questioned the shift from the party's original name, "We Invest in Nationhood" (WIN), to what was suggested to be "We Invest in Next-of-Kin" (WINK), pointing out that while relatives can participate in politics, the party's credibility is questioned when no executive voice is present, despite Big Sissie declaring herself "Director of Political Affairs." The report asked where the party voices were to explain economic policy, parliamentary strategy, local organization, and internal decisions, rather than merely serving as backdrops to Sanction Man's actions.

WIN's defenders lecturing older parties about confusing political leadership with ownership was highlighted as a point of irony, as the publication stated that political parties belong to their members, not cheerleaders for the proprietors. The report cautioned against replicating old orders with relatives as vanguard, citing past personality cult experiences.

While acknowledging Lil Sissie's point about Jagdeo's concerns, the article suggested this only reflected his role as PPP GS and did not illuminate WIN's internal democracy. The party could address criticism by demonstrating membership authority and executive decision-making, allowing supposedly elected executives to speak with substance and independence. Until then, the democratic messaging was described as being tainted by hypocrisy, as the microphone appeared to remain family property despite invitations for others to help change Guyana.

Regarding broader societal issues, the report mentioned President Trump blaming immigration for riots in France, suggesting a lesson that economic growth necessitates social planning. It was noted that importing workers with expectations that Guyanese have not met can create tensions that prosperity alone cannot resolve. The publication stated that inviting people to help build the new Guyana without informing them of expectations could lead to surprise later.

Separately, the report mentioned that at a rally in São Paulo on Sunday, supporters of Bolsonaro carried a large inflatable missile inscribed with "Trump Nuke Brazil" in English, prompting a question about how such thinking might affect relations.
