And while tomorrow the opposition will strongly oppose the bills, today the conservationists are debating whether the PM will actually go through with the road to Mexico, which would have to pass through a World Heritage Site. Even though it's just a proposal at this point, to the environment NGO's it seems like a rash decision and one that may not have been well thought through. Today we asked him about it.
Hon. John Briceno, Prime Minister
"And obviously, before we make any such decision, we have to go through the process. At this time, we're talking about a plan, we're talking about a vision. And for that to happen, we have to make sure that we follow the process, that we follow the laws of Belize, follow the environmental laws and there's going to be full consultation. We're going to go through the NEAC, go through with the EIA process and everything. So I think they're jumping the gun before they start to criticize, I think you should join us to see what is it that we're proposing and how we could be able to transform north Ambergris Caye and the country because we truly need the revenues and the jobs for our people."
