And from the stench of Sargassum to sticky island politics, last weekend, you heard the newly re-elected Caye Caulker chairlady say that she was not sure why there needed to be a PUP slate running against her independent slate. She said that she has always supported the PUP, however, the area rep did not support her this time around. And he paid for that with a loss in the village council elections. And the San Pedro mayor gained from it. Today we asked the PM his thoughts on the political push and pull in the island village.
John Briceno, Prime Minister:
"I think that the chair lady pointed out very quickly that she's a PUP and Wally felt that she's a friend and a colleague of hers, of him, and he felt that he wanted to support her and he did. That is right. And the important thing is that Caye Caulker they had two very good ladies running and they decided to stay with Selenie and I support that."
