And, reports tell us that the PUP half of that committee - along with Belize’s lead international lawyer, Ben Juratowich from the Freshfields law firm - were supposed to meet with PUP Parliamentarians this afternoon at 2:00. The meeting was set up for Juratowich to give the Representative and Senators a full briefing on the game plan going forward.Â
But, 7News has confirmed that only one of the party’s 12 elected area representatives showed up to the meeting - and that was leader John Briceno - at whose office the session was held. Whether the remaining 11 blew off the meeting as a kind of boycott, or, at best, a profound lack of interest, their absence is telling. Â
We are told that - in terms of Parliamentarians - only the party’s three senators - and the leader participated in the 90 minute session.
