Audrey Matura: Belizean attorney sparks controversy by spitting on Guatemalan flag

By Horace Palacio: Belizean attorney and activist, Audrey Matura, made headlines after a video surfaced of her publicly spitting on the Guatemalan flag in what she declares as an act of protest.

Matura, in the video’s caption, voiced her resentment towards Guatemala for celebrating its independence in Belize, especially after an event she cited as disrespectful towards Belizeans at the Sarstoon on September 10, 2023. She posed a rhetorical question about the likelihood of Belizean politicians attending Guatemalan celebrations post this incident. Adding fuel to the fire, she called upon the Prime Minister of Belize to boycott Guatemalan festivities.

The provocative act has received extensive attention from both Belize and Guatemala. Some Belizeans commend Matura for her audacious stance against perceived Guatemalan insolence, while others fear this may exacerbate the ties between the neighboring countries.
