And what does the PUP Senior Minister think of the walkout-which was a first for independent senators? Those watching on the livestream couldn't see it when the President suspended the sitting, but Fonseca called it an act of democracy, something we should respect and celebrate.
Francis Fonseca, Minister of Education
"It's democracy at work. I think we should all celebrate that, you know, there is nothing wrong with that, they decided that they wanted to take that action at that time, so you know, there is nothing wrong with that. I'm sure they will follow up with explaining why they took that action, so it is democracy at work and I think all Belizeans should celebrate the fact that we live in a strong democracy where we have different opinions about serious issues facing our country, so we should respect that and celebrate it."
