PM Barrow Pokes Fun at Opposition Leader’s Political Quandary

Dean Barrow

And one more piece of political news…This isn’t exactly a great time in the P.U.P.’s long history, or even a particularly good time. So of course, the PM couldn’t resist poking some not-so-good natured fun at Francis Fonseca who he says is breaking up the P.U.P.  

Prime Minister Dean Barrow

“Francis deh bout deh tell the rest of them bout that greed and selfishness on Ivan part has caused him to resign. Ivan need fu tell he noh watch me, watch yuself Francis. You talk bout the fact that yu soh incompetent and inept. Yu soh absolutely impotent as wah leader. Yu soh destructive. Yu soh hopeless that dah you, Francis Fonseca as leader, deh cause the People’s United Party fu disintegrate. They deh bruk up.”

Francis Fonseca, P.U.P. Leader

“I am satisfied and comfortable with the decisions taken. Clearly every action and decision that takes place reflects on the leader of the Party and you have to take that into consideration and you have to take that into account. But as always we have discussions about these matters around the table and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that I continue to enjoy the overwhelming support of the representatives and standard bearers of this Party. Without a doubt. We are properly managing the Party, and those who are not interested in being a part of that properly managed Party are falling on the wayside, and it is better for the Belizean people and better for Belize that in fact they be exposed now, if you like it, and if the weak links and the weak fences are being knocked over, then the core continues to remain strong. That is our position. That is our position.”
