The Senate Inquiry into Immigration continues tomorrow - and the political rivalries are heating up. Today, UDP Chairman Alberto August put out a release on his Facebook page announcing the formation of a new ad hoc association to remove Eamon Courtenay as a Senator. It's called BAC, or "Belizeans Against Courtenay" and August says, quote, "The primary actions and objectives of BAC is to peacefully protest against Eamon Courtenay's actions and to call for his removal from the Senate."
At last week's Wednesday hearing August was one of those hecklers in the gallery throwing words at Courtenay, even directing insults at his deceased father. On Friday - when August made it known that he was going all out against Courtenay - the PUP Senator said he doesn't acknowledge his existence:
Hon. Eamon Courtenay, PUP Senator
"I will not dignify the comments of that gentleman with any response, absolutely none. I deny his existence."
Well, in his Facebook post, August says, quote, "Come, Join the call for the removal of Eamon Courtenay from the Senate of Belize. In Courtenay's eyes we do not exist."
And while August has formed BAC, it's not - (or maybe it is) - to be confused with BALAC, the Belizean Against Lord Ashcroft And Courtney which picketed Courtenay's office in February, to no great effect.
