  • Opposition Rejects New Moves By Guatemala To Claim Belizean Territory
Apr 10, 2013

BELMOPAN, Belize, CMC – The main opposition People’s United Party (PUP) has rejected the latest move by Guatemala showing Belize to be part of the Central American country.
Guatemala plans to distribute four million new passports with the map showing the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) country as part of its territory over the next decade.

The opposition party has warned that a future “PUP government will deny entry to Belize for any person bearing a Guatemala passport with a map showing Belize as a part of Guatemala” and is urging the Dean Barrow government to do the same.
