Sarstoon River Visit

The Sarstoon River and Island are very important and strategic military points for our country. Given the present global, regional and local political environments it is imperative that citizens hold their governments to complete transparency and dialogue.

Letter to Hon. John Saldivar

Dear Mr. Saldivar,

I write to you as a concerned citizen and as the Leader of the Belize People’s Front, (a populist movement) and on behalf of the members of our party and the citizens in general.

As Belizean citizens, we have a right to traverse the length and breadth of our country. It is also symbolic that the 1859 Treaty that defined our borders is being disrespected by the Guatemalan armed forces, by denying Belizeans access to the Sarstoon River, the natural border between our countries. In this regard, I ask:

National Day of Prayer

On April 10th 2019, we will be asked to vote whether or not to take the Guatemalan claim to Belize, to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). This is a not a decision we should take lightly, as it may very well affect our very existence as we know it. It is on this solemn note which we must show our resolve and dedication, in assuring we are responsible to our sons and daughters, who will hold us ultimately responsible, for their future and the course we would have charted.

First Vetting of Seven BPF Candidates

On March 9th 2019, The Belize People’s Front held its first vetting of candidates at the Banana Bank Resort. Seven (7) candidates met with the vetting committee and were relentlessly interviewed before selection as Standard Bearer for their respective constituencies.

Home Invasion and its Deterrence

We take this opportunity, to share our deepest condolences with the family of Elizabeth Rousseau, who was murdered in a brutal home invasion on Wednesday, February 13th, 2019, and Gary Hakes, who was also assaulted in this attack; this is now becoming an all too common occurrence.
