For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ Foreign Minister Wilfred Elrington rubbed many the wrong way on July fifth when he used the word crazy to describe those who would vote ‘NO’ in respect of the upcoming I.C.J. referendum. Among those is the Belize Territorial Volunteers, which translated the minister’s statement to mean that government is embarking on a biased campaign in favor of taking the Belize/Guatemala territorial dispute before The Hague for resolution. That view is widely shared. Today, in a rare mea culpa, the foreign minister walked back the controversial comment and has since gone on record to say that he was referring to himself as crazy not to vote in favor of a peaceful, judicial solution.
