Is BJM a Legitimate Third Party?

Rudy Wade is throwing his hat in the ring for the Cayo Central constituency. As a former law enforcement officer, he’s pinpointed several pressing social issues that need immediate attention, especially healthcare. Joining him in raising these concerns is Abner Bacab from San Pedro. Bacab, who was one of the three mayoral candidates in the March sixth municipal elections, is now running under the ‘melon banner’ this time around.

“ It’s just that it’s so sad that the media they only see the two-party system, so when it comes to a movement and a third party, per se, there’s not much visibility and highlights.  But we see the need and we see the direction that the country is going and it’s not good.  Starting from poverty, starting with the healthcare system, starting with unemployment, starting with our security forces, it’s not good.  And, a thing that hits me is that the healthcare system in this country is really, really bad and it needs fixing, and we have good plans.  We, the Belizeans Justice Movement, have good plans in carrying out that mission.  The Belizeans Justice Movement is comprised of regular people, my brother, no attorneys, no man carrying a briefcase, no doctors.  We are grassroots, farmers, retirees, retired teacher.”

“Belizeans Justice Movement is here to promote justice.  Justice comes in many ways: equality, improvement in healthcare, improvement in work, improvement in salaries, improving the lives of our Belizean people.  One of the many reasons I decided to join the movement was because I’m involved in healthcare service in San Pedro.  It’s privately owned, yes, but remember, San Pedro is the number one tourist destination in the whole country.  San Pedro gives back to the Government of Belize so much money and we don’t get it back.  We don’t even have a hospital.”
