Jose Uc Espat Says Running for U.D.P. Is Not Backpedaling

A few years back, Jose Uc Espat started a third party because he was tired of the two-party system running the country. Now, he’s running for the U.D.P in the Albert constituency. We asked him if joining the same two-party system, he once criticized is backpedaling. He explained why this move is different from what it seems.

“I did not backpedal. Today, and I spoke with openly because he’s a straightforward person. I’ve got respect for him as a person and as what he’s trying to do. Many people are hating him for the same reasons I was hated for a long time and still am today, because we stand firm, we are not a pushover, and we stand for what we believe in. To your question: if I knew today  that the Belizean public would accept the ideology of a brand new fresh full 31 viable candidates in a third party, I would have, and I spoke about this with Mr. Barrow, this was my objective for either this election or the coming elections – to form a party of  31 viable  qualified and candidates with a history of integrity, honesty, to bring and offer this to the country.”
