Opposition Leader Didn’t Want Questions on Panton  

After two hours of the Barrow-led United Democratic Party discussing national issues, it was finally the media’s turn to ask questions. However, when reporters tried to bring up the internal divisions within the U.D.P., they faced some pushbacks. Barrow quickly shut down those questions, making it clear he wasn’t going to entertain them.

 

Moses “Shyne” Barrow, Leader of the Opposition

“First and foremost in all press conferences, I remember that the UDP used to have questions limited. For the last five years you and others in the media have tried to turn. We spent two hours talking about national issues, from health education, home affairs and the economy and rather than focusing on those policies which truly benefit the Belizean people, you want to talk about Tracy, John Saldivar and the corrupt cabal. I have no interest in that. If that is what you want to ask you can ask your questions, but we have no interest in answering questions about those people.”
