PM Putting Out Fires All Week

And, if you have been following the news then you know that this has been a busy week for PM Briceño. On Monday, he met with stevedores to address their concerns at the Port of Belize. On Tuesday, he was faced with sharp verbal daggers from the members of the B.S.C.F.A. And today, the Prime Minister had to face a group of retired public officers who are no longer interested in verbal promises. All this on top of the 2024 budget debate that will run into Friday. So how does he manage all of this? That was what he was asked today and, of course, he still had more to say to the B.S.C.F.A.’s membership.

 

Prime Minister John Briceño  

“If it is one thing I must be grateful for is my father. He thought me hard work when I was a young boy and use to work in the cane field. So I am not fazed by hard work. But at the same time it is something I love doing to be able to see how we can solve problems and make the country move forward. Every step that I take in my mind I think I am doing the right thing about how we can move. I don’t want to go in a back and forth with the people of the BSCFA. My father was the leader for many years and I know the militancy of the BSCFA. But when they get personal it is best I ignore them, but I am not going to be in a back and forth. But they do have the right to say what they want. Do I agree with them absolutely not.”
