PHILIPSBURG, St. Maarten - Seemingly there are elements in the St. Maarten community who have resorted to threats as a means of influencing the islands political future.

Persistent information reaching this website indicates that a MP elect was threatened by rogue elements within the community of St. Maarten, threatening their life and property if certain political allegiances are broken.

It is also said that these threats came from a member of the MP's election campaign team.

The MP elect is said to have taken the threats seriously and out of fear, refrained from filing an official complaint with the police fearing that the police would not be able to provide the necessary protection.

Our sources say that these rogue elements was also prepared to sit the required jail time if their deeds were discovered by the law.

Just recently the US political party held a press conference in which the number 2 on their list Leona Marlin refuted news reports that she was in negotiations with the UP political party to form an alliance that would support the next government of St. Maarten.

A coalition comprising of the National Alliance Party, The US Party and the DP is currently working on a governing program for the the next four year term of government.
