We also got Faber to comment on the Leader of the Opposition’s suggestion that Government should consider postponing the date for the ICJ referendum.

It’s set for April 10th, 2019, but Briceno says there is too much to be done in terms of public education and preparation of the case for the ICJ.

Faber says government can’t continue to kick the can down the road:…

"He's calling for a postponement of the referendum."

Hon. Patrick Faber - Deputy Prime Minister
"Well I don't know how that can help the situation, I think all Belizeans know and maybe it is a sign that he's slow in the game because we all knew, in fact we have postponed the date of the referendum now, once or twice, this might be a third time if we do. We were to have this referendum simultaneous with the Guatemalan referendum and that didn't happen, so clearly if we were to say to the Guatemalans now, but not only the Guatemalans, even the international community, that we want kick the pine even further down the road, it would come off not in our favor. So, I don't support that at all, I think the leader of the opposition should have started his work of consultation if that is what he feels is important a long time ago, we did not just come up with the date of April 10th just yesterday so, that is an indication that he has not been early enough in the execution of his duties.”
