See below the full message from the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C):On this momentous occasion of Guyana’s 55th Republic Anniversary, the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) extends heartfelt greetings to all Guyanese at home and abroad. Today, we celebrate our nation’s rich history and the enduring spirit of unity, resilience, and progress that defines us as a people. Fifty-five years ago, Guyana took a bold step toward self-rule, marking a pivotal chapter in our journey as a sovereign nation. This historic milestone was a testament to our collective determination to uphold national sovereignty, democracy, and the rule of law. As we reflect on our past, we reaffirm the PPP’s unwavering commitment to the core values that have defined our Party and guided our actions for decades. We continue to champion democracy, advocating for free and fair elections, political participation, and the protection of human rights while standing firm against authoritarianism. Our pro-people approach continues to drive us to pursue social justice, equality, and inclusivity, ensuring that all Guyanese have access to fundamental rights and services. We remain unwavering in our commitment to pro-growth and development, fostering economic opportunities, job creation, and the equitable use of our national patrimony for the benefit of all. Embracing ethnic, religious, and cultural harmony, we continue to strive to build a cohesive and inclusive national identity rooted in unity. Guided by progressive values, we reaffirm our continued commitment to advocate for sustainable development, environmental protection, and technological advancement while empowering women, youth, and vulnerable groups. These values are the foundation of our mission to create a just, democratic, and prosperous society for all Guyanese. Through challenges and triumphs alike, we have remained steadfast in our mission to build a prosperous, multi-ethnic, and competitive nation—a nation where every citizen, regardless of race, political affiliation, gender of class, has an equal opportunity to thrive and contribute to our shared success as a nation.As defenders of national sovereignty, we remain resolute in protecting Guyana’s territorial integrity. In the face of external threats and aggression, we stand firm in defence of our beloved homeland, ensuring that every inch of our land remains protected by a strong, united people and a government prioritising national security, diplomacy, and the rule of law. Mashramani, with its vibrant colours, music, and celebrations, embodies the spirit of resilience, unity, and triumph that defines both the PPP and the Guyanese people. It is a time to reflect on how far we have come and to renew our focus on the work ahead. Guyana’s ongoing transformation is no accident—it is the result of visionary leadership, a government that delivers on its promises, and the collective efforts of a determined people. The remarkable fulfilment of our 2020 manifesto, even before the end of President Dr Mohammed Irfaan Ali’s first term, stands as a testament to this progress. As we look forward to Mashramani 2025, let us embrace the spirit of togetherness that this festival represents. Let this occasion’s energy, camaraderie, and national pride inspire us to continue building a future that reflects our highest aspirations. We can achieve even greater heights together, ensuring that Guyana remains a beacon of hope, opportunity, and unity for future generations. Happy Mashramani to all! Long live the Cooperative Republic of Guyana! The post ‘We must remain resolute in protecting Guyana’ – PPP says in Republic Day message appeared first on News Room Guyana.
