Today at the House Meeting in Belmopan history was made and in the most ugly way imaginable. In fact what happened exceeds the limits of the imagination.
First the police fired a warning shot - while the House meeting was underway - directly in front of the National Assembly stairs when a protestor burst through the police lines….No one was hurt, but we've been covering the house for decades and we've never seen anything like that.
That was from a militant splinter of the church protest in front of the house.
And when the excitement from that died down that's when things went berserk inside the House chamber...
Cayo South Representative Julius Espat was named and suspended form the house but refused to leave, that's when police forcibly ejected him on the order of the house speaker...it was a scene unlike any in Belize's history...
And in the rush, our news director Jules Vasquez was also forcibly ejected from the house - dragged away by police.
We'll show you every single detail tonight - when we present the news in a different kind of way - instead of editing the stories we'll present it raw with my News Director Jules Vasquez narrating the store here in studio with me - we figure it's the best way to give you the whole story of this historic day...that's coming..
