Leader of the Opposition Attends Investment Summit

Also present at the official launch of the Belize Investment Summit was Leader of the Opposition Patrick Faber. While he is usually one of the government’s toughest critics, today he was being a team player. He spoke to reporters at the event.

“You are correct in referring to us as the harshest critic of the government. By the nature of our position, as I’ve always maintained, that when we need to unite for Belize, we will be there for that. And, so far as things have been happening with this summit, I hope that we are a team player, that we are a partner in helping to get things rebound in Belize’s economy, and clearly an event like this is a very costly one, and those criticisms will come, I am sure. But, we believe that if this kind of investment will yield the kind of productivity, the kind of investment that the government is hoping to achieve here, then it might be all worth it.”
