By Benjamin Flowers: The People’s United Party (PUP) is calling for the removal of a Punta Gorda Town Councilor, following allegations of domestic abuse.

The party issued a statement this afternoon, saying that it was made aware of the incident this morning along with the rest of the country and has since examined the available evidence relating to it.

“After carefully examining the circumstances surrounding the incident, the Party sees no other alternative but to call for the immediate resignation of the Councillor. As a Party and government, the PUP has zero tolerance to all forms of domestic violence,” the PUP said.

The party went on to remind its members, supporters, and elected officials of the importance of respecting the rights of others and continuing to support and promote the rights of our women and children, and also took the time to wish all the women of Belize a happy Women’s Month.
