The Hague: - Suspend financial support to Sint Maarten. Member of Parliament Ronald van Raak (SP) makes this appeal via written questions to State Secretary Raymond Knops (BZK).
Van Raak fears that the investments that the Netherlands plans to make to help Sint Maarten through the corona crisis will only be successful if there is sufficient support in the States. A majority of the state in an indictment submitted to the UN this week that the Netherlands is reviving colonialism through the reform program - otherwise approved by the Jacobs cabinet. Do you share the view of the majority of politicians in Sint Maarten that the large financial support for the inhabitants of the island is a form of oppression, racism, and colonialism? asks Van Raak. He thinks that the people of Sint Maarten should be asked whether they support the independence wish of the government parties.
Clayton Wright, who uses a cane, struggled out of his bed Friday morning to find a hand on the front porch of the tenement yard at 15 West Avenue in Kingston where several persons reside. The discovery, Wright said, caused him to move the fastest he had in his entire life.
The 6:30 a.m. bone-chilling experience has since traumatised the 64-year-old. Wright said that he has since had trouble sleeping, opting to spend much of his time at a nearby bar and hangout spot instead of going back to the location.
The police have confirmed the morbid find in Kingston Gardens.
