| The People's Democratic Movement - a party contesting the general elections - held their manifesto launch, introduced their candidates and affirmed their commitment for justice and equality this afternoon. Their party chairman says that they do not see themselves as a third party but instead as a more refined organization of persons willing to better their constituencies and help their people. While they may not have a full 16 slate, we met 4 of their candidates who are running for Belize Rural Central, Albert, Port Loyola and Queens Square. Here's what they promised in their manifesto.
Estevan Perera, People's Democratic Movement
"Belize has been in a crisis for too long and it is time now that the people of Belize rise up and answer our calls. We are happy to have been campaign for a couple of months and we have been eating some very good feedbacks, and from there I will go on to my constituency. I am running in the Belize rural central constituency and I have been in there fighting, I just left Hatiiville and the people of Hattiiville are saying that in Hattiville they don't even have an ATM machine. They don't even have a highs cool not one street is paved in hattiville there is no employment in Hattiville."
"There is nothing that the PUP have done for them and that is one of the reasons why on election day they will vote them out."
Garry Matus, PDM, Queens Square Standard Bearer
"This the price of living we can't have a price of living we have a population of people nearly 350k people we cannot raise the price of living high. What happen is the rich can't pay the tax the rich only pays a simple tax only three months the tax is paid and the poor every minute pays the rich the tax that is too way out."
Elmore Tablada, PDM, Port Loyola Standard Bearer
"A lot of people in my area in port Loyola area is suffering Mr Usher says he is giving away land but I don't see how because people are renting apartments in the neighbourhood and sometimes they come and beg me for something small to pay toward rent because they don't have any land or nothing so the next thing they like to do is they give the rich people the good land and then they give the poor people the land they have to full out. And the people can't afford to full it so they sell it you understand."
