And on the government side of that expression of bipartisanship, yesterday, the Assad Shoman told us very clearly that the process must fully involve the opposition:
H.E. Assan Shoman - Belize's Agent at ICJ
"The video that the leader of the opposition put out the following day, that was a wonderful gesture. Like he said, the people have spoken, so I think that gives the Em Privado if you like of the major opposition party at this time, a major party in the history of Belize, the party that took us to independence, the party that led us first to the ICJ, has now come to terms with itself and the people and said yes, the people have spoken, we are with the people. I think that offers very well Jules for the future, we need to go along this road to together and the PM has agreed with him and I think the opposition as well, that we will do this the same way we did the facilitation process and what came after from 2000 where the opposition is consulted, really consulted, fully consulted every step of the way, not just kept informed but be part of the decision making process - all through, is every way. I understand they're setting up a small committee of equal numbers from both parties that in a sense monitor and advise on this case."
We’ll have more from Shoman later on in the news.
