Last night we showed you the 2021 letter that CEO in the Prime Minister's Office, Narda Garcia sent to the developer of Cayo Rosario. It liberally gave Daniel Kalenov support and approval for all the developer could desire: from 40 overwater structures, to a 600 foot dock and pier, to a mangrove clearing permit, to the extraction of 25,000 cubic yards of sand by dredging, a submarine cable, and a wastewater treatment plant.
Well, today the Prime Minister called our newsroom about to explain that Garcia did not give those approvals directly - but that they were based on what was allowed din the environmental compliance plan. He said there was a meeting with the developer, Blue economy, his trade ambassadors, and the Ministry of Investment. He says that blanket letter was based on the discussion had at that meeting- and that it was intended to be a letter of comfort for the developers from the new government.
The PM says the letter signalled that the new government supports the project. The PM said that the project is being developed by the Six Senses resort brand which will improve Belize's image with high end travellers.
