PHILIPSBURG: - On Friday, March 12th, 2021, the Cabinet of the Minister Plenipotentiary in the Hague hosted an Election debate with Candidates of six political parties. The parties which were represented in this debate were BIJ1, represented by Ms. Lysanne Charles, UBUNTU (UCF), represented by Mr. Carlos Lopes, DENK, represented by Ms. Isaura Carillho, D66, represented by Drs. Jorien Wuite, Christen Unie, represented by Mr. Don Ceder and CDA, represented by Mr. Koos Sneek.
The purpose of this debate was not only to offer a platform for the candidates to inform the voters of the party programs and visions but more so to encourage voters hailing from the Caribbean and South American diaspora in the Netherlands to go out and vote.

A majority of councillors in Amsterdam will vote for plans to radically change the historic centre, including moving red light windows to an ‘erotic centre’ outside De Wallen.
In an online council meeting on Thursday, there was broad support for an overhaul of the centre to reduce the pull of sex and drugs, and attract a ‘better quality’ tourist. Councillor Dennis Boutkan, of the PvdA labour party, described it as an important ‘reset of the visitor economy’.
The mayor of Amsterdam, Femke Halsema, has put forward three sets of proposals to rein in excessive drugs tourism and make the centre more liveable for local people. There are more than 80 individual measures in an ‘inner city’ plan, a proposal to move prostitution from the Red Light District to a purpose-built erotic centre elsewhere, and a set of measures to reduce the number of coffeeshops and make them more manageable.
