Opposition Leader John Briceno today weighed in on the Venezuela issue. It's a complicated one - and tonight Belize's Foreign Minister Wilfred Elrington is with his CARICOM counterparts in Montevideo, Uruguay trying to find a peaceful way forward for Venezuela. It's a diplomatic tightrope, with the suffering of the Venezuelan people on one side, and the imperial ambitions of the US on the other.
Belize's Ambassador to the OAS, Danny Guttierez has been trying to walk that tightrope - and today the opposition leader scolded him for mis-speaking in a recent address:
Hon. John Briceno, PUP Leader
"We believe that the Belize ambassador to the OAS I think mis-spoke. I think he spoke beyond where he is supposed to be talking about, because first of all we supposed to have a policy from the government and not a policy from the ambassador. Again, I reiterate the issue of none intervention into a country's affairs, but at the same time we need to do everything possible to be able to find a peaceful resolution to the challenges that countries in our hemisphere are going through and in this case, Venezuela, a country that has been so good to us."
TONIGHT, the CARICOM Ministers in Uruguay have re-iterated their decision to, quote, "help restore the tranquility of the Venezuelan people through dialogue and peace,"
