And FECTAB also fired shots at the Belize International Music and Food Festival. Minister Mahler admitted that their goal was never to break even financially, and today David Almendarez called it a fleecing of public funds. He added that millions of dollars are spent on the concert, but not on the archeological sites.

"I refuse to go to a music fest, I have never gone because it's a fleecing of the country. How can you tell the learned Minister Mahler that went to Mr Million university and ten times smarter than me and he brought in not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six international artists and you Mr Duncey, Untalented, Simple Man lost money? And from the beginning you knew you were going to lose money? Lose our money, it's like your mom sent you to the store to buy groceries and you wasted it on sweets and then you come back to me like you're so sharp."
"4.0 is coming you know. Next year. You know, it amazes me that we can spend so much money on the international artists and the local artists don't get anything. It amazes me that you could waste millions on them and go to our archaeological sites. Ugly, out of shape, muddy, broken up, stink."
