By Zoila Palma: Today, Prime Minister John Briceno hosted a ceremony for his “State of the Nation Address” in Belmopan.
Leader of the Opposition Tracy Panton says that the opposition was “deliberately excluded.”
“This exclusion speaks volumes.
A genuine State of the Nation Address should rise above party politics. It should reflect the entire nation, respect our democratic institutions and acknowledge every Belizean regardless of political affiliation. Instead, the Prime Minister chose partisan rhetoric over national unity,” Panton explained.
Panton says that after 6 years in office, the PM “appears to have learned little about diplomacy, democracy or people-centred governance. Belize deserves leadership that unites, not divide; leadership that respects the Opposition, strengthens our democracy and puts country above party.”
