Guyana has formally complained to Caribbean leaders after Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez was seen wearing a controversial pin during official visits. The emblem depicts a map of Guyana’s western region, which Venezuela has long claimed as its own.
The contentious pin is shaped like the Essequibo region, a resource-rich area that constitutes two-thirds of Guyana’s territory. This territory lies at the heart of a centuries-old dispute with neighbouring Venezuela, which borders Guyana to its west.
