MÉNAGE A WHAT? Belizeans Paid for UDP Bacchanal Darrell Bradley Thursday, 12 April 2018 All indications from a very preliminary audit are that the UDP in City Hall prior to the March 7, 2018 were caught in an orgy of spending while Belize City taxpayers were unable to access basic services. Just last week City Administrator Candice Burke, the accounting officer for the Council, was placed on one month’s

Candice Miller-Burke suspension pending an investigation into certain irregularities which were discovered to have happened under her watch.

Burke, who claimed that she did not campaign openly for the UDP during Municipal Elections but was seen on Election Day doing just that, was the recipient of an extended contract which former Mayor Darrell Bradley signed just prior to March 7, 2018

MÉNAGE A WHAT?

Continued from page 1 lize City taxpayers were saddled with a $1000 bill at the Belize Biltmore Plaza, racked up on February 8, 2018.

Signed by City Administrator Candice Burke on behalf of the Council, the bill is for what must have been a huge amount of ménage a trois - $540 worth as well as beer and food. And since she wasn’t paying but was saddling Belize City taxpayers with the bill, Burke made sure to add in a $100 tip.

Even leading up to the Municipal Elections, it was clear that the Council was strapped for cash – so much so that on one occasion almost two hundred workers could not be paid. In addition, prior to elections the cash-strapped Council has been unable to meet its commitment to the company which collects garbage around the City. Yet the City Administrator can go to the Belize Biltmore Plaza and spend $1000 at one sitting, and the father of the Mayor is allowed to rack up bar bills which total over $6,000.

The United Democratic Party will continue to scream and howl because of sour grapes and spite, but Mayor Bernard Wagner has maintained that his Council will be the best this city has ever seen – one which works for the people and is completely accountable to the people.

WOMAN GUNNED DOWN IN BELIZE CITY

Thursday, 12 April 2018 Belize City Police say that while they have one person in custody, they have yet to ascertain a motive in the shocking murder of Marcia Downs, 37. Downs was shot in her yard at around 8:20 last night, and died about one hour at the KHMH. According to the preliminary report, Downs was in her yard on Handyside Street when she saw a lone person approaching through an alley which runs beside the home. It is unclear whether the person shouted her name and Police would not confirm that report, but as she walked up to him, he allegedly fired two shots at her, one of which caught her in the head. Police say that they believe she may have known the shooter.

The man believed to have been the shooter was detained an hour after by Police, but so far the murder weapon has not been located. Downs is known to have connections to a gang figure, but Police are unwilling so far to label the murder as gang related due to tensions between Majestic Alley and Victoria Street.

Carla’s Version

Thursday, 12 April 2018 Just before elections in March, 2018, Belizeans were outraged at revelations that family members of UDP Minister Rene Montero had gotten millions of dollars in compensation for seven parcels of land on Ambergris Caye. Those parcels, given to them under a UDP administration, were re-acquired under a PUP administration because they were in a reserve area. When the UDP came back into power, one of the first orders of business was compensating the Montero family, to the tune of millions.

The fleecing of public coffers through the blatant compensation scam under disgraced former Minister of Natural Resources Gaspar

Vega has been well documented, resulting in tens of millions of dollars paid out to family members, cronies and ‘strategic landholders,’ so to speak. This is the same compensation scam which resulted in Vega’s son Andre and UDP crony Sharon Pitts being given $400,000 each, monies which the government has been unable to recover to this day.

But even under the self-proclaimed prim and proper Senator turned Minister Carla Barnett, the shenanigans at the Ministry of Natural Resources have continued. The same parcels which enriched the Montero family are now back in the news. The Belize Times has obtained documents which show that six of seven parcels for which Minister Montero’s family members were

KHMH: the Dolly-House Crumbles Thursday, April 12, 2018 In a move that has raised eyebrows in both the medical and political community, former UDP City Councillor and doctor, Alain Gonzalez has been terminated from the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital, with extreme prejudice – so extreme that the Belize Times has confirmed that he was escorted off the compound by security officers this week.

We are told that without warning, Gonzalez was handed his termination letter on Saturday when he reported to work at the KHMH as usual.

Observers, whether political or casual, would have to admit that it is extremely unusual for a doctor to be given his walking papers in such a fashion, especially since Gonzalez is an affiliate of the UDP and as a former Councillor should enjoy the protection of that Party. Gonzalez has maintained when approached by the media that he was not given a reason for the termination, which is very difficult to believe.

Although we have not been able to confirm, sources at the KHMH are claiming that Director of Medical Services Dr. Lisa

Eastern Caribbean Euro (XCD):$ 1.35 (EUR) : $ 0.46

Johnson has been conducting an investigation into widespread insurance fraud whereby doctors are charging the insurance companies of KHMH patients for services which have not been provided. It is not certain whether Gonzalez’s termination is as a result of that investigation.

For his part Gonzalez has filed an appeal of his termination with the KHMH Board, and there are reports that members of a KHMHA Ad Hoc Committee are calling for the resignation of Johnson and the Human Resources Director Ixchell Murillo. In the meantime, the facility continues to provide services in a very limited capacity as administrators seek a solution to the structural deficiencies which have plagued the building and have now reached crisis stage.

To this date, Minister of Health Pablo Marin has not answered criticism as to why the KHMH was allowed to deteriorate to this point even though the Board and the Ministry were made aware of the problems for years.

compensated so excessively have now ended up in the hands of another UDP crony, Rommel Berges of RJB Construction infamy (the same Rommel Berges who is responsible for the Lake Independence Boulevard travesty).

The land documents we have obtained, signed by Minister of Natural Resource Carla Barnett herself, show that Berges is being given title to these prime properties as payment for mangrove and road clearing work he allegedly did in North Ambergris, to a total value of $152,000. There is no specification of exactly which works he did, but that is not surprising under this Barrow/Faber administration where cronies are regularly rewarded with such riches.

So in addition to family members of UDP Minister Rene Montero becoming millionaires off these parcels of land in San Pedro, another UDP crony has now come up big in this deal which was signed by Barnett in February 2018. The same parcels for which the Monteros received millions have now been given to Berges to cover a debt of only $152,000. Barnett, a failed politician who was made Minister through the Senate, has long been touted by the UDP as a bastion of integrity whose reputation and name cannot be questioned. But that can hardly be the case when the documents show that the outrageous fleecing in the Ministry of Natural Resources, to benefit just a few privileged individuals, is still in full swing.

The Belize Times has been promised additional documents and we will reveal those as they are leaked to us. We’ll keep following this developing story.

REAL People’s Power in Toledo West Thursday, 12 April 2018 With the assistance of Area Representative Oscar Requeña, residents of San Benito Poite in the Toledo District have taken matters into their own hands. This week many of the villagers came together to cast a foundation for a bridge over a canal which is impassable during the rainy season. According to PUP Area Representative Requeña, all their requests to the government for assistance from the Ministry of Works have been ignored, so it was

The villagers donated money and labour, and with the assistance of Requeña, community leaders and a missionary group, poured over two hundred sacks of cement into the foundation and the work of

Sedi Playing Dangerous Games

Thursday, 12 April 2018 On Wednesday, April 4, 2018, in an interview to the media, Belize’s Foreign Minister Wilfred Elrington made the following statement: “No; the suggestion I got from Alexis was that once the matter is disposed of at the I.C.J., then the suggestion I got from him was that the constitution in Guatemala provides for them to then go to a referendum to, as it were, ratify that position of the court. That seemed to be the import of what he said to me.”

On the matter of the ICJ, he does not give Belizeans confidence that the government can manage this situation in the best interest of Belize.

The government is asking the nation to go to the ICJ and has done nothing to educate Belizeans as to why they must go to the ICJ. On the contrary with Guatemala, President Jimmy Morales has been doing the rounds on the media and has had an active Guatemalan campaign presenting their reasons and their case to their people.

What is also alarming is that the UDP government, For Immediate Release cabinet and area representatives allow Sedi to misinMonday, April 9, 2018 form, misrepresent and to utter foolishness with no correction of the information or clarification – except of course if the Opposition calls them out on it.

If “So in other words, there would be two referenda, basically? One before and they believe Belize is ours and they are so confident one after?” that it is, why did the UDP so quickly and sheepishly give in to Guatemala when it comes to the Sarstoon?

Wilfred Elrington “Right. That’s what he said to me, but we need to sit down and get some more clarity on it; but I’m relying on him and I think that’s what he said to me. So the challenge was that really and truly there’s no need for a referendum now; the referendum should wait until a decision is given.”

The Foreign Minister informed the Nation that according to Belize’s Ambassador Alexis Rosado, “the constitution in Guatemala provides for them to then go to a referendum to, as it were, ratify that position of the court”.

EDITORIAL

THE NEW ICJ DILEMMA

O

n Sunday, April 15, 2018, Guatemala will hold a referendum to allow its people to decide on whether its unfounded insular, maritime and territorial claim to Belize should be taken to the International Court of Justice. That country is currently conducting an intensive propaganda campaign to convince their people that the claim is a valid one and must be pursued at the ICJ. Belizeans haven’t been informed of the date of any referendum to be held locally. While the government’s propaganda campaign has been lacklustre, it is clear that the foreign Minister, Sedi Elrington, is all for going to the International Court of Justice. It is unclear at times which country he actually represents as Foreign Minister, since his position has always been very closely aligned with that of Guatemala – even when Guatemala bullies us and aggresses us and seeks to smear our name in the international community.

Last week, there was a new development on the road to referendum or as some prefer to call it, the road to the ICJ. There are reports that Guatemala has sought the permission of its Supreme Court to hold a referendum after the decision of the ICJ. That referendum, then, would allow the Guatemalan people to decide whether they accept the decision of the ICJ. That is an incredible thing. Suppose – and this is a big jump – we end up at the ICJ. That Court then decides, as it should, that Guatemala should go take a long walk off a short pier where the claim is concerned. And Guatemala goes to referendum and decides that they will not accept that decision.

What a hell of a thing!

In Belize, those who support the ICJ will be quick to point out that we MUST go to the Court to settle this audacious and vexing claim once and for all. Belizeans have been told that the decision of the ICJ will be final. But suppose it isn’t? In his interview to News 5 last week, Sedi Elrington stated, rather flippantly, that based on information from Belize’s Ambassador to Guatemala Alexis Rosado, “once the matter is disposed of at the I.C.J., then the suggestion (I got from him) was that the constitution in Guatemala provides for them to then go to a referendum to, as it were, ratify that position of the court.”

In response to that startling revelation, the People’s United Party early this week issued a release stating that the Party is “extremely concerned by Elrington’s statement as it is not aware of any such provision in the Guatemalan Constitution. Further, the position as explained by Foreign Minister Elrington in the interview is contrary to Article 5 of the Special Agreement between Belize and Guatemala which states: ‘The Parties shall accept the decision of the Court as final and binding, and undertake to comply with and implement it in full and in good faith.’ The PUP calls on Minister Elrington to withdraw his clearly erroneous statement as it leads to confusion; such misinformation should not be left on the public record.”

Additionally, the PUP “demands clarity firstly on any judgment which might be handed down by the ICJ if indeed our people decide at referendum to go that route. Secondly, we demand that the position in the Sarstoon and the southern waters of Belize be regularised by the re-establishment and enforcement of Belizean sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

While the Foreign Minister and the UDP play lost, the Guatemalan Armed Forces (GAF) continues to turn Belizeans back from the Sarstoon. Despite multiple instances of this happening, Elrington seems unwilling to use his Ministry of Foreign Affairs to intervene or even to protest. In every single instance where Belizeans have been aggressed or intimidated – and in one instance even kidnapped – Belize’s officials in charge have preferred to withdraw with a whimper rather than assert the sovereignty of our nation. Guatemala has taken the UDP’s cowardice as the nation’s weakness, and now Belizeans are being given the ICJ as an option when our position is the weakest it has been since Independence.

The People’s United Party has maintained and continues to maintain its position of support for a referendum in which Belizeans will have the opportunity to vote on whether the unfounded claim goes to the ICJ. But our people MUST be properly informed. Thus far the awareness campaign has been woefully inadequate and skewed.

We maintain that in these unfavourable circumstances created through the neglect, incompetence and cowardice of Prime Minister Dean Barrow and Foreign Minister Wilfred Elrington, going to the ICJ is not an option to be blindly embraced with all trust, faith and confidence. Where the territorial integrity of our nation is concerned, there is no room and can be no tolerance for inept leaders who seem unable to comprehend the ramifications of any show of weakness before the ICJ. With these new developments in Guatemala, this is a situation which must be watched very closely and carefully…for the sake of our nation and the sake of our people.

EL NUEVO DILEMA DE LA CIJ

E

l domingo, 15 de abril de 2018, Guatemala celebrará un referéndum con el que su pueblo decidirá si se debe llevar a la Corte Internacional de Justicia (CIJ) la demanda infundada insular, marítima y territorial de Belice. Ese país está llevando a cabo una campaña de propaganda intensiva para convencer a su pueblo que la reclamación es válida y debe ser presentada ante la CIJ. Los beliceños no han sido informados de la fecha de cualquier referéndum que se celebrará a nivel local. Mientras que la campaña de propaganda del gobierno ha sido mediocre, es evidente que el Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores, Sedi Elrington, está de acuerdo con ir a la Corte Internacional de Justicia. A veces, no está claro qué país realmente representa como Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores, puesto que su posición siempre ha sido muy alineada con la de Guatemala, aun cuando Guatemala nos hostiga y nos agrede y pretende manchar nuestro nombre en la comunidad internacional La semana pasada, hubo un nuevo desarrollo camino al referéndum o como algunos prefieren llamarla, el camino a la CIJ. Hay informes de que Guatemala ha pedido el permiso de la Corte Suprema a celebrar un referéndum después de la decisión de la CIJ. Ese referéndum, entonces, permitiría que el pueblo guatemalteco decida si aceptan la decisión de la CIJ. Es una cosa increíble. Supongamos que - y esto es un gran salto, terminamos en la CIJ. Ese tribunal decide entonces, como debería que Guatemala se fuera a freír churros donde se refiere a la reclamación. Y Guatemala va al referéndum y decide que no aceptarán esa decisión. ¡Qu infierno de cosa sería!

En Belice, los que apoyan a la CIJ se apresuraran en señalar que debemos ir a la corte para resolver esta afirmación audaz y exasperante de una vez por todas. A los beliceños se les ha dicho que la decisión de la CIJ será final. ¿Pero supongamos que no es? En su entrevista al noticiero del Canal 5 de la semana pasada, Sedi Elrington declaro, más bien frívolamente, de que a partir de información del Embajador de Belice en Guatemala Alexis Rosado, “una vez que el asunto sea resuelto en la CIJ, entonces la sugerencia (que obtuve de él) fue que la Constitución de Guatemala estipula que luego vayan a un referéndum, por así decirlo, para ratificar esa posición de la corte”.

En respuesta a la revelación alarmante, El Partido Unido del Pueblo a principios de esta semana emitió un comunicado afirmando que el partido está “extremadamente preocupado por la declaración de Elrington ya que no está consciente de tal disposición en la Constitución guatemalteca. Además, la posición como lo explico el Ministro Elrington, en la entrevista, es contrario a la del artículo 5 del acuerdo especial entre Belice y Guatemala que establece: ‘ las partes aceptaran la decisión de la corte como final y vinculante y se comprometen a acatarla y aplicarla en su totalidad y de buena fe.’ El PUP le pide al Ministro Elrington retirar su declaración claramente errónea, ya que conduce a la confusión; tal desinformación no debe quedar en el registro público”.

Además, el PUP “exige en primer lugar claridad en cualquier decisión que podría ser emitida por la CIJ si de hecho nuestro pueblo decide en referéndum seguir esa ruta.

En segundo lugar, exigimos que la situación en el Sarstoon y las aguas del sur de Belice sea regularizada con el restablecimiento y la observancia de la soberanía e integridad territorial de Belice”.

Mientras que el Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores y el UDP se hacen los confundidos, las Fuerzas Armadas Guatemaltecas (FAG) continúan regresando a los beliceños del Sarstoon. A pesar de varias instancias de esta ocurrencia, Elrington parece poco dispuesto a utilizar su Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores a intervenir o incluso para protestar. En todos los casos donde los beliceños han sido agredidos o intimidados, y en un caso incluso secuestrados – los funcionarios de Belice responsables han preferido retirarse con un gemido, en lugar de afirmar la soberanía de nuestra nación. Guatemala ha interpretado la cobardía del UDP como debilidad de la nación, y ahora a los beliceños se les ofrece la CIJ como una opción cuando nuestra posición es la más débil que ha sido desde la independencia.

El Partido Unido del Pueblo ha mantenido y sigue manteniendo su posición de apoyo a un referéndum en el que los beliceños tendrán la oportunidad para votar sobre si el reclamo infundado va a la CIJ. Pero nuestro pueblo debe estar debidamente informado.

Hasta ahora la campaña de sensibilización ha sido deplorablemente insuficiente y sesgada.

Sostenemos que en estas circunstancias desfavorables creadas a través del abandono, la incompetencia y la cobardía del primer ministro Dean Barrow y el Ministro de relaciones exteriores Wilfred Elrington, ir a la CIJ no es una opción que hemos de abrazar ciegamente con toda confianza, fe y certidumbre. Donde se refiere a la integridad territorial de nuestra nación, no hay espacio ni puede haber tolerancia para los líderes ineptos que parecen incapaces de comprender las ramificaciones de cualquiera muestra de debilidad ante la CIJ. Con estos nuevos acontecimientos en Guatemala, ésta es una situación que debe vigilarse muy de cerca y con mucho cuidado... por el bien de nuestro pueblo y nuestra nación.

Take The Water – Vote Him Out! Thursday, April 12, 2018 The area representative for Belize Rural North proudly announced on Facebook the other day that potable water will finally come to Boston; a village along the old Northern Highway.

Consultations for villagers will be held on Sunday, April 15th, 2018 along with representatives from Belize Water Services Ltd. and the Social Investment Fund.

Castro loves to boast that when he came into office in 2008 only 5 of the 27 villages in Belize Rural North had potable water and now there are only 3 villages left to get a proper water system. What he has not said is that it has taken him 10 years and 3 terms to provide what is considered today to be a basic human right: WATER! Despite the fact that Castro sat in a Barrow Cabinet that squandered more than $400 million of PetroCaribe monies it has taken him this long to provide potable water to Boston. The residents of Boston should ask him where his love for the people of BRN was when millions were squandered on pibil and tacos and beach parties. Where was his love when the Cabinet in which he sits approved more than $500 million for BTL, a company that is worth a fraction of that!

In 2015 the water system for Biscayne and Gardenia was signed with completion due for 2016 and at a total cost of about 1 million dollars. The water system at Maskall would follow; and with both a price and time overrun it would end up costing the Belizean people 1.6 million dollars. Both those systems, though less than 2 years old, are already plagued with operational deficiencies.

In fact the Maskall water project was so deficient in its execution residents had to turn to the media to put pressure on both the water board and Castro to fix the problem. During the construction, rather than build the new system then systematically transfer people over, the contractor dug up parts of the old system long before the new system was finished.

Castro then had the audacity to tell the residents that they were ungrateful because they complained about the inconvenience that could easily have been avoided if the contractor had sound project management

But that is not the half of it, the Maskall system, which was built to replace the one inaugurated by the Hon. Maxwell Samuels, is linked to the well located a few miles away at Santana. So now, the reservoir at Maskall must be filled only at nights because the reservoir at Santana is filled during the day. This means that once that water in the reservoir at Maskall is used up during the day, residents are back to square one: No water! Can someone please tell me who on earth spends 1.6 million dollars for a water system that puts residents in exactly the same position in which they were before?

Classic Castro: bullshit the people and then tell them why they must worship him.

They say one must not look a gift horse in the mouth, but in the case of Castro only a fool wouldn’t.

The residents of Boston should feel no sense of gratitude and indebtedness to Castro; they should ask him why it took him 10 long years to provide such an essential service even as the government squandered more than $400 million of PetroCaribe money. As usual with the UDP, it’s always about politics and it’s always about optics!

Castro is clearly preparing for an early election. The people of Belize Rural North should tek deh water and vote him out!

THE BELIZE TIMES Massive Victimization in the Port Loyola Division

By: Gilroy Usher Sr. “With malice towards none… with charity for all.”- Abraham Lincoln Less than a week after the recent municipal elections over a dozen residents of the Port Loyola division were fired from the Faber’s Road Project due to suspicion that they voted for the Opposition Party. Most of those jobs have since been given to hard core red supporters. For a job with government contractors, a person cannot be free. Many times to secure such employment, a person cannot wear any color, speak his mind openly anywhere or be seen associating with persons suspected of supporting the Opposition Party. Such repressive actions take place with Government contracts that are awarded to cronies of the administration who then collude with Area Representatives of the ruling party to deny certain persons the opportunity to earn an honest living.

In trying to bargain with unsuitable material from the work on Faber’s Road for votes, the administration promised area residents loads of reject sand and gravel to fill their yards immediately after the municipal elections on March 7. They however did not mention the condition attached to that offer.

Well, the administration has reneged on that promise because the residents of Port gave the candidates for the blue party the victory instead of those for the red party. Instruction has since been given that no yard fill should be given to any family that is suspected of voting blue on March 7. Bad mind. Dirty spitefulness.

With the rainy season fast approaching many families need the fill to prevent the health hazard and inconvenience of water settling under their homes and in their yards for weeks. To spite those area residents suspected of voting blue, the administration prefers to give the landfill to persons outside of the Port Loyola Division who can purchase such fill on their own.

Following the administration’s defeat in the Port Loyola Division on March 7, the Area Representative also immediately closed down his constituency office. That decision was made to punish the many residents of the area for giving the municipal victory in the division to the Opposition Party instead of the UDP administration.

Closing down of the divisional office is a really spiteful and heartless action by the Area Rep for Port.

This person receives over $10,000 monthly from the government to address the basic needs of the people.

With the allocation, the Area Rep

should assist deserving residents with basic things such as groceries, utility bills, school fees, medical care, funeral expenses, sporting events, housing assistance and emergency situations.

As in most parts of the country due to high unemployment and the high cost of living, many residents of the Port Loyola Division really need the social

NOTICE STATURORY NOTICE TO CREDITORS IN THE ESTATE OF PEDRO CARRILLO Deceased of # 28 Toucan Avenue, Belmopan, Cayo District, Belize

NOTICE is hereby given pursuant to Section 36 of the Administration of Estates Act, Chapter 197 of the Laws of Belize that all creditors or other persons having any claims or demands upon or against the Estate of PEDRO CARRILLO, deceased, late of # 28 Toucan Avenue, Belmopan, Cayo District, Belize who died on the 23rd day of December, 2016 and in whose estate Letters of Administration has been granted to TATINA ANNE CARRILLO of # 28 Toucan Avenue, Belmopan, Cayo District, Belize, should lodge claims or demands with the said TATINA ANNE CARRILLO C/0 Balderamos Arthurs LLP, Charter House, Suite 6, 3 ½ Miles Philip Goldson Highway, P.O.

assistance. It is therefore wrong for the Area Representative to deny deserving families benefit from the monthly subvention by closing his divisional office.

It should be noted that although the Area Representative for Port has closed his divisional office and it is Mission Impossible to contact him anywhere else in the country, he still receives the monthly subvention for the Area. The people therefore need to know what’s happening to all the money that should be given to deserving families of the division each month.

Since the defeat of the red party in Port in the municipal election on March 7, the administration has also taken a number of deserving families off the list of persons for the monthly pantry.

Reason? It is suspected that those persons voted blue and contributed to the defeat of the red in Port on March 7 .

The massive victimization taking place in the Port Loyola Division, because of the administration’s displeasure with the results from the area in the recent municipal election is wrong and unjust. It needs to stop.

MY PERSPECTIVE

By Dolores Balderamos Garcia

THE LADY WINNIE Last week a woman originally named Nomzamo Winifred Zanyiwe Madikizela died in her native South Africa, aged 81 yrs. She was also known affectionately as Winnie Mandela, and she kept the last name of her ex-husband Nelson Mandela after the pair divorced. She is renowned as an anti-apartheid activist, a freedom fighter, a revolutionary and a political figure. And her life was so eventful that already there seems to be the intention to make a movie about it.

The then Winnie Madikizela, a social worker by profession, married attorney and anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela when she was twenty-two and he was forty, and they had two children together. She became the most public and prominent face of the movement for an apartheid-free South Africa after her husband was imprisoned for twenty-seven years by the white racist regime. She too was imprisoned, tortured and banned from living where she chose by the apartheid state security forces, and she was subjected to solitary confinement in prison and left on the floor of a cell without sanitary napkins when she had her period. Actually she spent 491 days in solitary confinement, an experience that she later said cured her of all fear. “I no longer have fear; years of imprisonment hardened me.”

Her fearlessness turned to revolutionary zeal, and she raged against the apartheid regime, adopting a “by any means necessary” approach to bring down the racist system. This is why her legacy will be seen by pacifists as questionable and tainted.

But many, too, have wondered aloud what her legacy would be if she had been white and male. Those who are eulogizing her now rightly call her a true and uncompromising revolutionary, not an armchair activist.

Not for nothing have so many poor and disenfrachised South Africans called her the Mother of the Nation and as well the Conscience of the Nation.

I have to wonder why it is that women who go awry of peacefulness and submissiveness are often vilified so much more than our male counterparts. Winnie Madikizela Mandela’s home was burnt down, and she was in addition banished from her hometown so that she

would not continue to “cause trouble,” which the white racists of course did not desire. On release from imprisonment and banishment, she became a staunch leader of South Africa’s liberation struggle, becoming far more militant than Nelson Mandela. She, however, went afoul of moral law by endorsing violence. She became infamous for saying “with our necklaces we will liberate South Africa.” (Necklacing was the practise of burning informants alive with a tyre around the neck.) She was later convicted of being an accessory to kidnapping in the death of a teenager named Stompie Sepei at the hands of her own “militia.” Further on, she was also found guilty of fraud in financial dealings.

In her older years she became a harsh critic of her own political party, the African National Congress. And after the liberation of her country from the grip of apartheid and the institution of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Archbishop Desmond Tutu pleaded with her to say “sorry.” (Did the apartheid killers say sorry??) She did not apologize, but she did acknowledge to the Archbishop and the Commission that sometimes things “went terribly wrong.” I believe that, while we cannot condone or support violence, Winnie Madikizela Mandela should be seen as the hero she was for the undaunted struggle she waged to free her people. Journalist Mosioua Lekota has said in her memory that “Those who did nothing under apartheid never made mistakes.”

Therefore, while we see references to her as “flawed” and “violent,” we should not condemn her more than we would celebrated war generals who surely commit atrocities in the name of their country or the subjugation of opponents.

Her legacy is not perfect; however let us not sit in judgement. I prefer to remember the lady Winnie for the unbroken revolutionary and activist she was for her people and for her continuing fight for the betterment of her country and the upliftment of the poorest and most disenfranchised in South Africa. I really think that this is the example that we must look to if we are to put her life into proper perspective.

POLLUTED WATER ISN’T JUST BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, IT’S BAD FOR OUR HEALTH “Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans”. –Jacques Yves Cousteau– Water is fundamental to life on earth. There are about 1,355 million cubic kilometers of water covering about 71% of the Earth’s surface; 97% of it is salt water. There are 35 million cubic kilometers of drinkable water on earth. Unfortunately 750 million people don’t have access to a source of potable water. How is this possible? Pollution, climate change and lack of institutional vision are putting at risk our watersheds.

To deny climate change is to deny a truth we are living!

Humans are damaging our oceans. Litter has detrimental effects on the environment, affecting our financial and economic costs. Recent studies have demonstrated that it can have a serious negative impact on individuals’ health and wellbeing.

International World Water Day is held annually on 22nd March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. It was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro.

Water undeniably is one of our greatest resources. Water is used in almost every important aspects of our life. It is an important element in both domestic as well as industrial circumstances. Infested with waste ranging from floating plastic bags to chemicals, our water bodies have turned into pools of poison. The contamination of water bodies, in simpler words, means water pollution.

The exponential growth in greenhouse gas emissions during the last months is a strong warning for global efforts to combat climate change, and demonstrates that current efforts are insufficient to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

There are several causes of water pollution in Belize. Direct sources include outfalls from factories, waste treatment plants etc., that emit fluids of varying quality directly into Belize rivers. Indirect sources include contaminants that enter the river from soils/ground-water systems and from the atmosphere via rain water. Soils and ground-water contain the residue of human agricultural practices (chemical fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) and improper disposing of wastes like garbage burning. Atmospheric contaminants are also derived from human practices, such as gaseous emissions from automobiles, factories and even garbage burning.

The total land area of Belize is 22,700 square kilometers (8,867 square miles). The country’s greatest length, north to south, is 274 km (170 miles) and its greatest width, east to west, is 109 km (68 miles). Using an

offshore territorial limit of 20 km, the country covers 46,620 square kilometers (18,000 square miles). Belize’s archipelago is also composed of around 400 small islands and cays. More than 400 species of fish live in the waters of Belize’s 185-mile long Barrier Reef.

Approximately 140,000 Belizeans depend on the Belize River watershed on a daily basis. Most of our agriculture happens within this watershed. Frankly, Belize as a nation, cannot afford to lose the goods and services provided by the Belize River Watershed. Just imagine the disaster if we continue contaminating Belize’s watersheds?

The principal challenges for Belize, besides safety and security of citizens and visitors and the financial sustainability of a country providing quality services for its citizens and visitors, are the improvement of the infrastructure such as drainages, solid and liquid waste management, waterways and waterfront maintenance and development.

Science provides many practical solutions to minimize the present level at which pollutants are introduced into the environment and for remediating (cleaning up) these problems. All of these solutions come with some cost, both societal and monetary. In our everyday lives, a great deal can be done to minimize pollution if we take care of recyclable materials whose production creates pollution and if we act responsibly with household chem-

icals and their disposal.

The effects of water pollution are varied. They include poisonous drinking water, poisonous animal food (due to these organisms having bio-accumulated toxins from the environment over their life spans), unbalanced river ecosystems that can no longer support full biological diversity, deforestation and many other effects.

Water pollution also has a significant impact on the rise of chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes. Unless we act now, they threaten to overburden health systems, particularly in developing countries.

Additionally, there are choices we make each day that also can affect the quantity of pollutants our actions will introduce into the environment.

Heavily packaged foods, for instance, contain boxes, cartons, and bottles etc., made with polluting dyes, many of which are released from groundwater at the Regional Sanitary Landfill.

Whether we choose to drive to the corner store rather than walk or ride a bicycle will determine how much we personally contribute hydrocarbon emissions to the atmosphere, and ultimately to global fresh water supplies.

Water pollution is an appalling problem, powerful enough to lead the world on a path of destruction.

Water is an easy solvent, enabling most pollutants to dissolve in it easily and contaminate it. The most basic effect of water pollution is directly

suffered by the organisms and vegetation that survive in water, including amphibians. On a human level, several people die each day due to consumption of polluted and infected water.

Water pollution is one of the biggest threats to the environment today.

The best solution for water pollution is prevention. While preventing water pollution may seem to be an overwhelming subject to tackle in Belize, there are a number of small things that the average person can do.

It is very difficult to break down plastic after it is produced. Much of the plastic we consume ends up in the watersheds, where it is even harder to fish out and safely throw away. Whenever we buy something that is not recyclable, such as plastic, it is better to reuse this item as many times as possible. This limits our consumption and means less of those products will end up in our rivers and ultimately the Atlantic Ocean.

A good practice, especially in this times of recession and taxes increasing, would be the use of less detergents, soaps and dishwashing liquids.

While these are more expensive, you are doing the environment a great service by using less harmful substances.

Installing low-flush toilets and lowflow showers are two of the best ways to reduce water usage without having any major effects on living standards.

Installing gray-water systems – where sink and shower water is diverted into the toilet for a second use or into the garden to irrigate your lawn – is a great way to reduce water usage and a home’s demands on the sewer system.

At the end, there are many choices on the personal and societal level that we must make, consciously or not, that affect the amount of pollution our Town or Country will be forced to live with. Our standard of living and very way of life is based upon practices which are inherently “dirtier” than those of our distant ancestors, although they too polluted their environment to some extent.

Without taking a step backward in terms of our standards of living, the answer seems to lie in a combination of many small changes in our daily practices and paying more for goods and services, so that manufacturers of various materials and drivers of automobiles, for instance, will have cleaner devices with which to conduct their activities.

Water Pollution is common, and is an area of high alert. Water needs to be preserved and respected today, for us to live a better tomorrow.

Pease don’t forget that clean fresh water is precious and a resource that is necessary for life! Making conscious choices to conserve and protect water could reduce water pollution in our jewel Belize dramatically.

You can reach your own conclusions.

God bless Belize.

Dr. Pedro Villegas.

Really SOBER Reflections...

I know lately I’ve shocked a whole bunch of people who have through the years become accustomed to the irreverent, blasphemous, raunchy and raw drunk who was always good for a few laughs – sometimes with me but mostly at me. Truth is that some people like me under the influence. I’m generally good company for a time, until that time when I’m not and I just become an unbearable, obnoxious asshole. Still, what that said – I’m so frigging overwhelmed by the change in me that I’ve felt compelled to thank God at every opportunity, including on Facebook. I’m pretty sure that’s made some people think my Facebook page was hacked. I’m sure that there are many who do not accept that I’ve changed. I’m writing this and grinning as I imagine all the wailing and gnashing of teeth from women in bars and brothels countrywide, the screams of “Ayyyy, no mi gordito.” LOL. My friend G Mike…whom I consider a friend despite his ornery and generally unpleasant demeanour, not to mention our political differences on certain occasions, has told me - I feel in extreme good faith and honesty which is how he operates – that I am putting too much pressure on myself, and that if I fall or fail I will disappoint so many people rooting for me that I’ll crash and burn. I get that.

But there’s a method to my madness.

When I post about my struggles and I get that support, it actually strengthens me. And I’m scared shitless that I’ll let down those people who are still there for me. See my point? On those very few occasions when I’ve been tempted in the past weeks, that is exactly what has kept me sane and sober. Just so you know.

But that’s enough about me. Moving on.

I’ve held my peace for some weeks now where a certain situation is concerned – mostly because I tend to walk carefully where the Belize Police Department is concerned. I’d actually pushed the situation to a corner of my mind, but thought about it last night as news

emerged that a woman was gunned down in her yard on Handyside Street, another victim of the gang violence which has already claimed so many.

For weeks now I have been trying to set up a meeting between representatives of the Opposition People’s United Party and top cops, particularly in the city. See, the Party Leader has reached out at the government level time and time again to indicate a willingness to join in the fight against crime in any capacity. No response. So it was felt that the Party Leader and perhaps the Mayor of Belize City could meet with top cops like Howell Gillett and Chester Williams to see how the PUP can lend a hand, so to speak. My thought at the time was that if the intention of the Police really is to transform the Southside where crime is concerned, the City Council would be in an ideal position to assist with a physical transformation of those areas. I mean…when crime surges we are told that we all are responsible and we all need to get on board right? Crime is everybody’s problem, right?

So imagine my surprise – or maybe surprise is too strong a word since I am a consummate cynic – when I couldn’t get that meeting to happen. I feel that I was pushed around day after day after day. I kept calling these people who seemed willing on the phone, but could never seem to find a time.

Through the news and social media, we all watched Howell Gillett and others meet with everybody under the sun and their grandmothers day after day after day – media appearances abounded. Yet they could not find a time to meet with the Opposition, and apparently still cant.

I have since learned that new Minister of Police John Saldivar received word that the PUP was seeking a meeting and instructed his cops that they could not participate. I am told that Saldivar stated that if the PUP has any ideas on fighting crime, they are to forward it to him as Minister of Police.

I’m not surprised by that. John Saldivar is an arrogant, stupid man.

I am surprised at the so-called top cops. I had no idea that high-ranking Police officers had to beg the Minister of National Security for permission to meet with anybody, particularly if that meeting is in good faith and with good intent to forge a partnership to fight crime. It’s all just bullshit to me. But then that is par for the course. And that’s all I’m gonna say about that.

THINKING OUT LOUD BY: KEVIN BERNARD

Earlier this week, I was invited to Bishop Martin High School to accept, on behalf of the Orange Walk Town Council, the gratitude of the administration, faculty and students for the paving of the main entrance to the institution. We are appreciative of the recognition, but more than that we are thankful for the partnership with schools and the wider community which has allowed us to continue with these projects. We are proud to boast some of the finest educational institutions in the country which continue to produce upstanding Belizeans who play a critical role in the development of our nation.

We must do everything in our power to assist them in any way that we can.

As a relatively young politician, I grew up with the concept of priorities where the allocation of attention and money is concerned. We are here to serve the residents, and if through our service the lives of those residents aren’t impacted in meaningful ways, then we are getting it all wrong. I continue to hold the Rt. Honourable George Price as a political mentor. This is a man who knew what service meant. He believed in people. He believed in uplifting people. He left Belize a better place than he found it because the people were at the focus of every decision made.

In my time as Mayor of Orange Walk Town, every single move made has been for the benefit of our people. That is what our Council is all about. Even the infrastructure works we do are prioritized so that our people are impacted in a positive way. But in addition to infrastructure works, we are determined to touch the lives of our residents in other ways. We are committed to education and committed to social and cultural programs which offer opportunities to our people. We are committed to the support of young entrepreneurs and to policies which allow our businesses to grow. It is all about the people.

Over the weekend, the Orange Walk East Area Representative, Elodio Aragon Jr., proudly posted pictures of a roundabout which we are told will be dedicated, in some form or fashion, to the struggle of our cane-farm-

ers. I could not believe it. These are the same cane-farmers who are experiencing the worst times of their lives, with the third estimate lower than was anticipated.

These are the cane-farmers who narrowly escaped being taxed 12.5% just to harvest their produce, when many of them barely break even in a season. These are the cane-farmers who have been oppressed and abused and neglected by Aragon and his government at every turn. And instead of looking at programs to assist or subsidize these farmers, perhaps even lobbying with the Ministry of Works to help with sugar roads, Aragon is giving them a roundabout. That is a slap in the face.

There is something very wrong with that guy.

Let me be very real. I am happy to see that finally Aragon is doing something, even if it took a bad loss in the municipal elections to shake him up and to let him realize that the people of Orange Walk do not want him, and the people of Orange Walk East in particular are not happy with him. But there are so many other things he could do.

Before elections in 2015 he promised all sorts of things in the East, including a school and polyclinic.

Now those are things which benefit the people in the most positive ways. Education and health are critical services which are absolutely essential to our development. And the people not only in Orange Walk but in the entire country desperately need access to good, affordable education and health. But instead, Aragon is ecstatic about a roundabout.

The people of Belize have already sent a loud, clear message to the UDP, letting them know that they are struggling and suffering while the Barrow/Faber administration focuses on roads and roundabouts and a $33 MILLION Civic Center which has not been opened to this day. It seems that like with everything else, Elodio Aragon Jr. is so out of touch that he is having a hard time understanding that message. But he will get the sense when his political career comes to an end whenever general elections are called. The people of Orange Walk East will elect a new leader who is serious about service and has a proven track record.

Forging Partnerships. Impacting Lives

EMPOWERED WOMEN EMPOWER WOMEN The women nation builders of this country, regardless of their political affiliation, had a common trait in all of them: perseverance against all odds especially in this patriarchal, male dominated society of Belize.

When one looks at women leaders around the world, those who have attained the highest position in governance all have withstood many verbal attacks, overcame barriers and had to battle with the gender inequality issue.

Politics as we have come to know it in Belize can be a nasty, dirty and sometimes thuggish affair. It is not easy. It is even more challenging for women.

In a country where the House of Representatives only has 2 women from the ruling party and disappointingly none from the opposition, why should women be encouraged to run in the next General Elections? With women making up a mere 6% of the representation in the House, what would motivate any woman to make that bold move to run for political office, especially based on the last sitting where it was less about the country and more about male bravado?

Interestingly in the Senate, which has 13 persons who are not elected, women currently make up 27% with 1 representing the opposition, 1 representing the government and 1 representing the unions. While by representation this may appear to be doing better, Belizeans are often reminded that in the Senate, the Senators may have their say but the Government will always have its way. Indeed, this has been the case despite the addition of the 13th Senator.

In 1995, it was Hillary Clinton of the United States in her capacity as the First Lady of that country who delivered her groundbreaking speech in Beijing, China where she said “Human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights.” It would take her 20 years to be that country’s 1st major party candidate for President.

While her bid for presidency did not succeed, her efforts to empower women continue to be cited as examples of the perseverance needed to create change and have resulted in many women being empowered to get involved in the governance of their country and at all levels.

Closer to Belize, Costa Rica just recently elected its 1st black woman vice-president, a first for Latin America, in the name of Epsy Campbell-Barr. This was an election

where rights for women and LGBT rights were at the forefront of debates and the party which was in favor of these rights emerged victorious.

In Belize, women make up half of the population of Belize. In 2018, shouldn’t we all do our part to ensure more women are elected in positions of leadership and to the House of Representatives so that there is more balanced representation and a more serious move toward gender equality? There are many barriers and obstacles that prevent women across Belize realizing their full potential and rising up. The political, economic systems and cultural norms have to change.

Some of Belize’s best leaders are yet to be born. However, some of Belize’s women right now are leaders that are yet to be given a fair opportunity to represent and shine.

It’s not that women should be given any special treatment. It’s not that women should be given any special favours. However, women should be treated equally and fairly. And when women are not invited to participate at the decision making table, like so many other women across the world and even those who were the founders of the United Women’s Group endured, then it is time for women to pull up that chair and take a seat at the table. The UWG was created because of such bold moves by Madam Gwendolyn Lizarraga. She went on to be the first woman area representative and minister of government making fundamental positive changes in the quality of lives for women in Belize.

With re-registration nearing and a general election looming, it’s time for women’s voices to be heard. It is time for Belizeans to encourage women and to support women representation not because they are women but because they are just as competent, just as smart and at half of the population just as important as the men in representing this country.

The United Women’s Group salutes all women who take up the challenge of leadership and thank all those who contested the recent City Council elections for showing the courage and for helping to empower so many others (young and older) for future elections.

Let’s be the change we want to see. Connect.

“GOODBYE BELIZE!” Barrow and Jimmy Shake on it!

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez In an interview on Monday night with Guatemala’s nightly show, TV Azteca Guatemala, Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales was questioned about his relationship with Prime Minister Dean Barrow.

Morales stated that Barrow shares the same sentiments that the long standing territorial dispute should be taken to the International Court of Justice: “On the day of my inauguration, Prime Minister Dean Barrow was in the front row, and in my speech I spoke about Belize and thanked Prime Minister Dean Barrow for coming and I remember the phrase he told me .... President Morales let us not leave for inheritance to our children the same problems we have inherited from our parents...I believe that both he and the people of Guatemala and the people of Belize want a solution.”

Over the years, Belizeans have been aware of the long standing territorial claim that Guatemala has on Belize’s territorial, maritime and insular wealth. Taking the territorial dispute to the International Court of Justice gives assurance to Guatemala only because Belize has all to lose and Guatemala all to win. When Morales was asked about the economic benefits for his country for going to the ICJ in an effort to find a definite solution to the dispute, Morales explained “For each centimetre of beach, we have 200 nautical miles and that gives us territorial sea and we have the possibility of fighting for islands, territories, archipelagos that are a maritime and insular wealth.

For every centimetre of beach, coast, island, we would have the maritime territorial rights, we also have the possibility of having a customs union with Honduras that we cannot have with Belize.”

Obviously, Morales as well as “Belice es de Guatemala” fanatics have indulged in the thought of having the second largest barrier reef in the world belong to them as well as the Great Blue Hole among other maritime and inland wealth.

However, as risky as it is for Belize, Foreign Minister Wilfred Elrington as well as the Barrow/ Faber UDP Government have agreed that Belize should go to the ICJ. In 2015, when Belize and Guatemala signed an amended compromis reference the national referendums to be held in both countries, Elrington stated that Barrow had assured him that Belize would hold it shortly after Guatemala’s one.

Elrington also said that “Guatemalans seem to have no fear of going to the ICJ and are very aggressive about it… for some inexplicable reason, Belizeans seem to be fearful.”

Indeed, Guatemala is extremely aggressive, campaigning and urging their residents that a YES vote for the ICJ is a vote for Guatemala. The numerous campaign videos and edi-

torials aimed at encouraging Guatemalans have also said that a minor was killed in the adjacency zone.

In 2016, our friendly neighbour deployed over 3000 troops along the border.

Belize’s government, however, has failed miserably at aggressively protecting its territorial integrity, sovereignty and people. Long live our Belizean hero, Special Constable Danny Conorquie. The numerous incursions by Guatemalan gold panners, hunters and fishers continue to be a real issue. Guatemalans constantly defend them-

selves with the excuse that there is no definite border between the two countries.

With only days to

2018

Guatemala’s long awaited National referendum, the Guatemalan government has greatly intensified its campaign. Many advertisements are being aired, maps showing Belize as a part of Guatemala as well as interviews and sitcoms.

The latest sitcom “Goodbye Belize” was held over the weekend in Guatemala. Apart from being racist, it is an insult to the Belizean populace.

The actors are painted in full black with black make up, black paint and covered in black clothing. At the back of the play stands a map, obviously tampered with showing Belize as only the Corozal and Orange Walk districts. “Goodbye Belize” features the actors dancing Belizean music while stretching their lips grotesquely.

Belize has not yet set a date for our national referendum where Belizeans will be asked if we should entertain Guatemala’s claim and take it to the ICJ because the government is seeking to raise the 8 million dollars needed for the referendum.

Belizeans continue to implore the Government to stand firm because the quest of the Belizean people is the protection of every inch of our 8867 square miles of territory.

RETENIDOS DOS PESCADORES GUATEMALTECOS EN AGUAS BELICEÑAS

La Cancillería guatemalteca informó que hace las gestiones correspondientes con Belice para la liberación de los hombres que fueron sorprendidos pescando en terrirorio de ese país.

La falta de delimitaciones territoriales claras entre Guatemala y Belice ha causado conflictos entre autoridades de ambos países. (File)

Prensa Libre: Guatemala 9 de Abril de 2018 Marta Larra, directora de Comunicaciones de la Cancillería, informó que la embajada guatemalteca en Belice hace las gestiones para brindar asistencia a los dos connacionales que pescaban en aguas beliceñas de Punta Gorda.

Según medios de comunicación locales, patrulleros de la Reserva Marina del Puerto de Honduras fueron quienes sorprendieron a los pescadores este domingo por la

madrugada.

A los guatemaltecos les fue decomisado un contenedor lleno de pesca ilegal.

Larra aclaró que los pescadores no están capturados solo retenidos en una oenegé y explicó que, por razones de seguridad, no podía revelarse más información sobre ellos.

También enfatizó que ese no es un delito grave, ya que muchos pescadores no saben con exactitud dónde no deben pescar, por lo que

las autoridades esperan la pronta liberación de los retenidos.

A criterio de Larra, este es precisamente uno de los conflictos que se solucionarían con la delimitación marítima entre ambos países, ya que hasta el momento esa inexactitud causa muchos problemas.

En marzo del 2016, autoridades de Guatemala y Belice intercambiaron acusaciones por la incursión de una embarcación militar del país caribeño en un río en la frontera no demarcada entre ambos países.

Según reportes, las autoridades guatemaltecas habían establecido contacto radial con la embarcación beliceña para pedirle que siguiera los protocolos de seguridad y reclamarle que había cortado redes de pescar de un ciudadano guatemalteco.

Según la nota oficial, la “comunicación fue respondida con insultos por parte de los tripulantes de la nave beliceña”.

Pero uno de los casos más graves que causó tensiones entre ambos países se registró en abril del 2016, cuando, según autoridades guatemaltecas, soldados beliceños perpetraron un ataque armado contra una familia en la zona de adyacencia entre Guatemala y Belice ocasionando la muerte de un niño en la comunidad San José Las Flores, Melchor de Mencos, Petén.

Restauración Nacional (PRN).

Sin poder detener la circulación en redes sociales de mensajes sobre presunto “fraude”, el TSE sí ha comprobado ante los medios de comunicación la legitimidad del resultado contundente a favor de Carlos Alvarado. La ventaja del Partido Acción Ciudadana (PAC) sobre el partido Restauración Nacional (PRN) fue de 21 puntos o 454.576 votos, un dato sorpresivo para ambos bandos, para el propio TSE (que preveía para un conteo crítico con resultado apretado) y para la población, pues la encuesta de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR) 10 días antes daba un “empate técnico” y otras mediciones privadas ponían arriba al PRN. “Quizás los cuestionamientos han venido de personas a quienes habían dicho que Dios había escogido a su candidato y que veían las encuestas. De repente, vieron que su candidato perdió de forma irrebatible y eso crea una disonancia que los obliga a buscar explicaciones, muchas veces desde el conocimiento sobre la organización electoral”, comenta a EL PAÍS Gustavo Román, portavoz del TSE, la institución pública no académica mejor valorada por la población, según las últimas encuestas de la UCR. En el mundo, ocupa el 5º lugar en credibilidad y eficacia, solo superado por cuatro entidades nórdicas, según el último Índice de Integridad Electoral (EPI), de la investigadora de la Universidad de Harvard y Sidney Pippa Norris. El TSE, creado en la constitución de 1949 con “rango e independencia de los tres poderes de la República, recibe la veneración popular; la imagen de las flores asemejaba un altar espontáneo.

Fabricio Alvarado, quien en el cierre de la campaña había cuestionado la imparcialidad del TSE, ha hecho públicas palabras de reconocimiento al resultado. “Me siento confiado de la solidez institucional del TSE”, ha publicado en su perfil de Faceboook.

Va en la misma línea de miles de usuarios de redes sociales que se han volcado como nunca a alabar a la institución después del domingo, a pesar numerosos reclamos desde ambos bandos durante la campaña porque el Tribunal permitió acciones de iglesias, encuestadoras, medios de comunicación o de Gobierno que supuestamente beneficiaban al candidato rival.

“Sale más fortalecido”, dicen a EL PAÍS desde distintos ángulos y por separado los politólogos Constantino Urcuyo y Saúl Buzeta.

El primero apunta a una “eficiencia asombrosa con una maquinaria de primer mundo” y el segundo a una respuesta certera en medio de la incertidumbre que primó en la campaña.
