Earlier we told you about the situation in Santa Cruz village. A few months ago, Prime Minister Barrow and his Government had come under fire from the Mayans who believed that the state had been heavy-handed against them for trying to protect national patrimony. Since the Director of Archaeology confirmed that Myles was the one who was in the wrong, what does the Prime Minister have to say about all this now? Well, he told the media yesterday he still believes that they made their right a wrong when they used force against Myles:
Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"I am telling you that the position is that the law of this country is what it is, it still prevails. The Mayans, like all other citizens of Belize are bound by those laws and you cannot use force to evict somebody from lands that's in dispute and I will leave it there."
