And today in his budget speech, the Prime Minister took a detour within his address to take a special swipe at an unnamed entity who is bedevilling the government. It was an unusual turn and both the language and the revelation were startling.

Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
“Now Mr. Speaker there are those that have formally leagued themselves and their television station with the opposition. The same opposition that when it was government was their quizzling and cat’s paw. They have done this because our defense of the national interest has curbed their exploitation and cut them down to size. So they use their power, wealth, and global influence to bad mouth us. They actually got in touch with Moody’s to quarrel about the upgrade that that rating agency gave to Belize. I think members on both sides of the aisle need to recognize that this is pretty much approaching an attack on our national sovereignty. This particular individual that I am talking about is very close to approaching acquiring the status of an enemy of the people.”
