The Opposition Factions Emmanuel, Pfp And Ud Called A Press Conference Today

In a somewhat unprecedented move, 3 opposition factions have called a joint press conference for Thursday, January 27that 2 pm.

It has been stated that these factions are totally upset by the arrogance of the government of Sint Maarten and its supporting factions in parliament. This is a new level of disregard for the minority in parliament.

While the factions of Emmanuel, UD and PFP have voiced their discontent throughout the budgetary proceedings, their arguments fell on deaf ears and all kind of childish arguments continue to be thrown at the MPs who question this modus operandi of the coalition.

It is beyond comprehension that not only was there no consideration for the arguments brought forward by the opposition members, but the warnings against passing the budget at this juncture from the legal sector were also callously brushed aside.

The advice by the Council of Advice from December 2021 had the same observation Read more

MARIGOT:---- Territorial Councilor Louie Mussington founder of the Rassemblement Saint Martin (RSM) made clear on Monday and again on Tuesday that the territorial council meeting that is being held today Tuesday, January 25th, 2022 is a total waste of time and will not assist the Webster family that are now protesting the auction of their land by blocking the main road in the vicinity of Gedimat.
