An Elitist Defending The Entitled, WhatS New?

Dear Mr. Editor,

Member of Parliament Christophe Emmanuel

Allow me to start by telling you a short story. Once upon a time there were a handful of entitled people on St. Maarten who believed that they controlled everything, even peoples thoughts. This group of elitists carved up St. Maarten for themselves and extended families, sometimes even stole land from other local people who werent well off. Thinking back today, it reminded you of a modern-day sci-fi movie when you werent allowed to utter their names in any critical fashion out of fear of reprisals.

Open vindictiveness was rife in the country and not every local was viewed as equal Read more

PHILIPSBURG:--- The MP explains: While the drama in the NA/UPP governing coalition continues to escalate, the people of this country are left to wonder with the ominous words of the minister of finance regarding the state of St. Maartens liquidity, with the lack of information regarding the food assistance program, and are left in the dark about the status of the airport reconstruction.
The picture that these 3 items represents are:
No money for salaries and the like at the end of this month; no information about food assistance from this month onward; uncertainty regarding the continuation of the reconstruction of the airport.
MP Wescot further stated that government is not forthcoming with direct and timely information and yet the government seems annoyed when faced with questions from members of parliament, let alone from the general public Read more
