P.U.P.’s National Party Council Meets on Economy and Immigration

As mentioned earlier in the newscast, the People’s United Party held the first National Party Council meeting of the New Year in Orange Walk. The main resolution which we told you about earlier concerned the Immigration revelations but there were three others. The party inveighed against Super Bond Three; the resignation of Gaspar Vega from the House of Representatives and a resolution on tax increases. The party resolved to insist that no more taxes be introduced on the already overtaxed citizens or that Government retrench hard working Belizeans nor introduce any other austerity measures that will worsen the economic crisis.  It also demanded an investigation into what it called the sudden and unexplained accumulation of wealth by U.D.P. ministers, their families and cronies. It called for any monies obtained by ill-gotten means to be returned for the benefit of the people of Belize. Amendments were also made to the Party’s Constitution and former area representative Servulo Baeza was appointed as the new National Campaign Manager.
