Brug Releases Statement On Decision To Remove Black Curtains


Philipsburg — As a future candidate of the Unified Resilient Sint Maarten Movement Party (URSM), I am elated with the decision to remove black curtains from our voting booths. This decision attempts to give each and every aspiring candidate for political office an even playing field. There are so many (young) persons who have the interest of this country at heart, who have the will to make changes that will benefit the population, but because of the factor of vote-buying are constantly being overlooked.

If we think things are rough now, believe me, it can get a lot worse if we dont make better choices at the polls on E-Day (election day) Read more

Brug Says We Have To Move Our ChildrenS Stomach Gauges From Empty To Full

PHILIPSBURG Unified Resilient Sint Maarten Movement (URSM) prospective candidate Richinel Brug, expressed in a press statement his dissatisfaction with the level of political rhetoric at the start of each school year. Beautiful words do not improve the quality of education, the labor conditions of teachers, nor fill empty stomachs.

I find it quite disturbing that at the start of each school year Government officials are able to summarize the list of challenges parents face: expensive school uniforms, school contribution (referred to by most in the community as school fee), school material, etc., while they refuse to do anything about it Read more
