Peace Movement Picks Up PUP' s Constitutional Challenge to Special Agreement
posted (May 23, 2019)

And while the PUDP machines are now in unison heading full steam to the ICJ, don't look back just yet, but the Belize Peace Movement "noh deh wid they."

That group has launched a drive to bring back the case which the PUP just dropped!  That's the constitutional challenge to the Special Agreement.  The movement announced today that it will take up the challenge, quote, "on behalf of the Belizean people."

A release says, quote, "the Special Agreement is null and void since it tramples upon the Belize Constitution. Therefore, to allow the matter to proceed in such clear violation of the Constitution would be a great disservice to our country, and the BPM cannot sit by and allow this to happen." 

Of course to mount this challenge, they'll need an attorney, and that's why they are launching a fundraising drive for a legal fund. Â They have set up a "go fund me" account, and are also taking donations directly.  

They say they have raised five thousand dollars so far from within its membership.
