And while the government tries to build consensus within the party, public sentiment seems to be moving towards its own consensus, and one that's very much opposed to the guarantee. For its part, the Opposition has been rallying public support to appear for a Friday protest in front of the National Assembly. Today the party said it was too early to confirm how many buses it will gather.
the powerful Teachers union may also appear. We stress "may appear" because it is teachers day and the union had already organized a retreat in Corozal. The final decision on Corozal or Belmopan will be taken at a meeting of the union executive tomorrow.
For its part the PUP is also calling its supporters to go to Belmopan to support the takeover of Universal Health Services. It all appears to be building up to a rather dramatic showdown and of course, 7NEWS will keep tracking developments.
