WILLEMSTAD – According to the Member of Parliament for the ruling party Pueblo Soberano, Melvin Cijntje, the departure of the former Prime Minister of Curaçao, Ivar Asjes was prompted by an accumulation of problems between him and the PS parliamentary faction.
Cijntje indicated that the manner in which the surveillance cameras were purchased by the government without a public tender is an example of those problems between the former Prime Minister and his faction in parliament.
Another example is the way the public company Refineria di Korsou (RdK), which owns the oil refinery is performing work at the refinery. “There is no public tender held for projects such as refurbishing tanks, roads or siding asbestos,” said the PS leader.
On the question of why the PS faction voted in favor of the CCTV cameras, the leader said that indeed they did vote in favor of this project presented by the Minister of Justice, Nelson Navarro, but that it is still not right. “The procedure was not transparent and we can’t continue like this. It is not according to party standards.”
The PS faction leader did not want to go into more details about the dismissal of the former Prime Minister. “If a Minister is dismissed by us, then it is not nice to go into details about the reasons why we took that decision.”

Als een minister niet goed functioneert, krijgt hij de Staten over zich heen. Als de verdediging van zijn beleid niet deugt, dient de Staten een motie van wantrouwen in. Als die motie wordt aangenomen, door de Staten, als vertegenwoordigers van Het Volk, de hoogste macht van het eiland, kan de minister gaan. Dat heet “democratisch genomen besluit”. Iets wat bij PS voor het gemak maar even wordt vergeten.
Daar maken vijf Statenleden die van toeten noch blazen weten de dienst uit, en leiden daarmee het eind van deze partij in. Good riddens,!
