But, not too worried about that, Briceno has plans of his own. 7NEWS has learned that on Sunday, his new executive will pass a resolution calling on those who control the party’s assets, namely Independence Hall, the Belize Times and Positive Vibes, to return them to the party, where they can be held by trustees. The resolution, we are told will propose a grassroots fundraising drive to - if necessary - buy them back from the party-affiliated private owners.
And, at the end of it, that may be one more reason for the old-guard boycott: because with that resolution in the context of the triumphalist, rabidly pro-Briceno atmosphere that will prevail in the People’s Stadium on Sunday, it seems a very real possibility that old guard-ists could get booed – and for retiring warriors, leaving to such a sour salvo, is always best avoided.
Much to consider, and we’ll keep watching how it plays out in the coming days.
