PHILIPSBURG:--- Members of the Party for Progress were left with their mouths hanging on Wednesday when they tried to dupe parliament into adding an agenda point to the urgent meeting of parliament called to debate the constitution of St. Maarten in order to bring back suspended Member of Parliament Claudius Buncamper.
PFP MP Raeyhon Peterson asked that the chair of parliament add an agenda point to the meeting on Wednesday on the confidence of parliament in the Minister of VROMI Egbert Jurendy Doran.
The urgent meeting of Parliament was called during the recess which commenced with 9 members present, including MP Rolando Brison and MP Hyacinth Richardson.

Gumbs, Peterson: La Presidente Del Parlamento No Habla Por La Pfp

~ La carta al primer ministro es una clase magistral de falta de tacto ~

Philipsburg, Sint Maarten – Los miembros del parlamento (MP) del Partido para el Progreso (PFP) Melissa Gumbs y Raeyhon Peterson se distanciaron a s mismos y a su faccin de las declaraciones hechas por la presidenta del parlamento Grisha Heyliger-Marten en una carta reciente a la Primera Ministra Silveria Jacobs.

Gumbs expres su frustracin por el uso indebido continuo del cargo de la presidenta del parlamento y agreg que las cartas enviadas por la presidenta del parlamento dan la impresin de que las palabras y los sentimientos son en nombre de todo el parlamento de Sint Maarten.

La presidenta del parlamento est tratando de protegerse actuando como si solo estuviera enviando la carta en su calidad de parlamentaria solitaria, coment Gumbs, sin embargo, al igual que cuando el expresidente del parlamento Brison cometi un error en su carta al Central Bank, este es nuevamente un ejemplo de no reconocer que, cuando usted es presidente del Parlamento, sus palabras reflejan y, a menudo, dan la impresin de ser representantes de todo el Parlamento.

Adems, en partes de la carta de Heyliger-Marten, la propia redaccin da la impresin de un Parlamento unificado detrs de su presidente Read more

Gumbs, Peterson: President Of Parliament Does Not Speak For Pfp

~ Letter to Prime Minister is a masterclass in being tactless ~

Philipsburg, Sint Maarten — Party for Progress (PFP) Members of Parliament (MPs) Melissa Gumbs and Raeyhon Peterson on Wednesday, April 28, 2022, distanced themselves and their faction from the statements made by President of Parliament Grisha Heyliger-Marten in a recent letter to Prime Minister Silveria Jacobs.

Gumbs expressed her frustration with the continued misuse of the position of the President of Parliament, adding that letters sent by the President of Parliament give the impression that the words and sentiments are on behalf of the entire Sint Maarten Parliament.
The President of Parliament is trying to shield herself by acting as if she is only sending the letter in her capacity as a lone MP, Gumbs commented, However, much like when former President of Parliament Brison blundered in his letter to the Central Bank, this is again an instance of not recognizing that, when you are the President of Parliament, your words reflect and often give the impression of being representative of the entire Parliament.

Moreover, in parts of Heyliger-Martens letter, the wording itself gives the impression of a unified Parliament standing behind its President Read more
