Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections
Carty told SMN News while waiting at the Collectivity of St. Martin for the signed agreement that as soon as they receive what they agreed upon in writing they will stop the protest action they started on Thursday morning. She said that the same speed they used to block the roadways on Thursday is the same speed they will use to remove the blockage when they get the signed agreement from the Senator and First Vice President Guillaume Arnell.
It was clear Thursday night that the protestors were not going to stop the protest action until they get exactly what they wanted. The COM must annul the decision they took on the PLU law in their next deliberation, they also must stop the enquiry that is presently taking place and grant home owners the title for the domain land they occupied without having them pay for it, while they also have to investigate the activities at Grand Case.
Up to to 10pm Thursday night the committtee and its supporters were still at the Collectivity waiting the sign the document that will guarantee that the Territorial Council will carry out what they have agreed upon during their negotiations.
According to one of the organizers those persons that were drafting the agreement did not include all the points that they agreed upon which caused all parties to go back around the table until the committee and its members got what they wanted on paper. The organizer said they eventually got want they wanted on paper and the agreement was signed just before 10pm Thursday night.
