And one more interesting bit is the information that came out of today's sitting about Belize's Ambassador to Vienna, Joel Nagle. PUP Shadow minister for Foreign Affairs Eamon Courtenay says it is an international embarrassment:...
Hon. Eamon Courtenay- PUP Senator
"I don't understand why the Minister of Foreign Affairs became so emotional and passionate when they called the name of Ambassador Joel Nagle. The truth of the matter is that he was removed as ambassador of Belize from Austria. The government of Austria said: leave town and leave town quickly. And what the Minister of Foreign Affairs should say, because we know, right from over hereâ€Â¦budget? I am talking about budget; I'm talking about mismanagement of Foreign Affairs. We know, right from next door at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that the Austrians wrote and said leave and then they sent back a diplomatic note and said: tell me why? You know weh the Austrians do? They sent a diplomatic note and said: leave by that date! Run! But, and I want the Foreign Minister to deny this, he met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs from Austria; and the Minister of Foreign Affairs told him why and it is time for him to tell the Belizean people why this country suffered the embarrassment of having one of its Ambassadors told to leave the post by a foreign country."
