伯利兹嘉年华乐队领导人在薪酬、透明度和公平问题上要求改革, Belize carnival band leaders demand reforms over pay, transparency, and fairness, citing decades of unmet promises and inequitable support.

伯利兹七支嘉年华乐队领导人于2026年2月21日举行了一次记者招待会,要求伯利兹嘉年华协会进行改革,理由是沟通不畅、缺乏透明度和分配奖品不公平。 Seven Belize carnival band leaders held a press conference on February 21, 2026, demanding reforms from the Belize Carnival Association, citing poor communication, lack of transparency, and unfair prize distribution. 他们批评发放一次性一次总付而不按安置情况细分的做法,尽管结果一致,但付款情况不一致,28年多来最高奖金为10 000美元,没有变化。 They criticized the practice of issuing single lump-sum payments without breakdowns for placements, inconsistent payouts despite consistent results, and unchanged top prizes of $10,000 for over 28 years. 主要乐队报告每年支出高达100 000美元,而非竞争乐队(支付费用和加强游行)得不到警察在场或明确定位等支持。 Major bands reported spending up to $100,000 annually, while non-competing bands, which pay fees and enhance the parade, receive no support like police presence or clear positioning. 各国领导人还强调了未兑现的诺言,包括免除关税,并呼吁加强问责制、公平承认和直接参与,以维护嘉年华传统。 Leaders also highlighted unmet promises, including customs fee waivers, and called for greater accountability, fair recognition, and direct engagement to preserve Carnival traditions.
