In true David Almendarez fashion, the former U.D.P. candidate held a solo press conference in Belize City today and he spoke out boldly. Almendarez launched into a fiery critique of the current government, but not before turning his sights on his own party. He pointed fingers directly at Opposition Leader Tracy Taegar-Panton, blaming her for what he calls the U.D.P.’s downfall. It was a press conference full of political punches.
David Almendarez, Former UDP Candidate
“I want to address the alliance. First, I want to congratulate the first female opposition leader ever, congratulations are due, respect is due. But, if you notice a week ago, we had a set of people where their headquarters is in Euphrates, but when we have a meeting on BelChina they show up. It is amazing because this same alliance was hellbent on destroying our party. They put candidates knowing they could not automatically win an election. That is what you call a blue konkas move. Even if every single one of your candidates had won, you could not mathematically form the government. That was a direct aim at the UDP. So, you can’t beat the PUP. So you damage the same party where you bring your cronies out Saturday to try disrupt. Why you want to be a part of something that you broke up. Why don’t you to Euphrates. You have a big spot at Euphrates. Why are you so concerned about what is happening at this side when dah you broke it up.”
