So, to show that the PUP has the weight of the general public’s support to bring pressure against the Barrow Government, they are organizing a grand protest in the next coming days. Here are the details that the Opposition Leader shared on that demonstration at today’s press conference:
Hon. John Briceno - Leader of the Opposition
"Yesterday I directed all our standard bearers to begin intense efforts to culminate with a massive mobilization through the streets of Belize. (Applause) And on Monday, we are going to announce that date, so that we could get all citizens, PUP, UDP, social partners, private sector to join together, to join as Belizeans and to ensure to tell Barrow in one word, enough is enough, end of the corruption."
Reporter
"How soon? I know you said that the date will be shared on Monday, but how soon are we looking at?"
Hon. John Briceno
"It is probably going to be within a week of Monday but we haven't settled on the exact date, that's why I didn't want to mention but it is going to be very soon."
Reporter
"What are the thoughts right now? Is it going to be in Belmopan one central location or?"
Hon. John Briceno
"We want to meet here in Belize City, we want to march in Belize City which is the media capital and also we believe it would be easier to amass all our supporters and everybody, not only the PUP but even the private sector, the social partners, the NGO community, everybody who wants to join, to show a displeasure to how Dean Barrow and the UDP have been managing this country can join us on that day."
We’ll have a little more from the PUP in tomorrow’s newscast when you’ll hear from the PUP standard bearer for Belmopan, who feels now that he can easily unseat a sandal laden John Saldivar.
