La Parlamentaria Wescot-Williams Vuelve A Cuestionar La Legitimidad Del Gobierno De Na/Up, Ante La Ausencia De Cualquier Acuerdo Que Demuestre Que Al Menos 8 Miembros Estn A Favor De Este Gobierno.

PHILIPSBURG, Sint Maarten – Es una total falta de respeto al parlamento y al pueblo. Podemos recordar cmo se anunci el apoyo de dos miembros nuevos/adicionales a fines de junio, hace ms de 5 meses.

No obstante mi solicitud de un comunicado oficial al parlamento; a pesar de mi solicitud de un debate sobre el plan anual del gobierno para el ao parlamentario 2022-2023, sigue siendo un silencio ensordecedor.

En todo esto, el nombramiento de un ministro de Turismo, Asuntos Econmicos, Telecomunicaciones y Transportes sigue siendo un misterio, agreg la parlamentaria, y uno no puede dejar de preguntarse por qu.

El candidato para este puesto es de conocimiento pblico, entonces, cul es el problema? pregunt la parlamentaria Wescot.

Divulgar cul es la demora no quita nada a la proteccin de la informacin del individuo, agreg la MP Read more

PHILIPSBURG:--- MP Wescot-Williams again challenges the legitimacy of the NA/UP Government, in the absence of any agreement that shows that at least 8 members are in support of this government.

Its total disrespect to the parliament and the people.

We can recall how the support of two new/additional members was announced at the end of June, more than 5 months ago.

Notwithstanding my request for an official communique to parliament; notwithstanding my request for a debate of the governments year plan for the 2022-2023 parliamentary year, it remains a deafening silence.

In all of this, the appointment of a Tourism, Economic Affairs, Telecommunication, and Transportation minister remains shrouded in mystery, the MP added, and one can not help but wonder why Read more

Mp Sarah Wescot-Williams, Body Searches Sad And Unacceptable.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten, – MP Sarah Wescot-Williams was appalled by not only the two incidents as described in recent publications regarding so-called search tactics used by the police in Philipsburg against two citizens, but also by the reaction of the police top.

I cringed at reading how our officer(s) misused their power and humiliated the persons involved.
Especially for the woman and the circumstance in which she found herself, it must have been a most terrifying and humiliating experience.

As a woman, mother, grandmother, I cant but condemn in the strongest possible way that any of our citizens, unless posing a serious and life-threatening danger, be subjected to this type of bodily violation Read more

~Mullet Bay in the News, but behind closed doors~

Whether by design or default, Mullet Bay appears twice on the schedule of parliament this week.

Unfortunately, none of these times, will the general public be privy to the discussions regarding this piece of real estate that is not only reminiscent of a buoyant period of our tourism industry but also of near full employment in the hotel sector of the entire island, both north and south, MP Wescot stated on Sunday evening, ahead of the meetings on Monday.

MP Wescot-Williams explained that of the 2 meetings that are scheduled this week on the topic of Mullet Bay, one has to do with the objection petition filed by over 2000 persons against the development of Mullet Bay Beach, and the other meeting is one of the Committee Parliamentary Inquiry Mullet Bay, both scheduled behind closed doors.

The Minister of VROMI has replied to the questions by the petitioners, and parliament -via the petition committee- has to now decide on the next steps, the MP further explained.

On the topic of the Mullet Bay Inquiry Committee of Parliament, it should be noted that this committee, established in 2019, had estimated 8 months to accomplish what it had set out to do, namely Give Mullet Bay Back to the People Read more

La Comisin De Investigacin Del Parlamento Haciendo Alarde De La Ley Y Los Procedimientos De Mullet Bay En Las Noticias, Pero A Puerta Cerrada.

Ya sea por diseo o por defecto, Mullet Bay aparece dos veces en el programa del parlamento esta semana.

PHILIPSBURG, Sint Maarten – Desafortunadamente, en ninguna de estas ocasiones, el pblico en general estar al tanto de las discusiones sobre esta propiedad inmobiliaria que no solo recuerda un perodo prspero de nuestra industria turstica, sino tambin de casi los empleo llenos en el sector hotelero de toda la isla, tanto del norte como del sur, afirm la parlamentaria Wescot el domingo por la noche, antes de las reuniones del lunes.

La parlamentaria Wescot-Williams explic que de las 2 reuniones que estn programadas para esta semana sobre el tema de Mullet Bay, una tiene que ver con la peticin de objecin presentada por ms de 2,000 personas contra el desarrollo de Mullet Bay Beach, y la otra reunin es una de el Comit Parlamentario de Investigacin Mullet Bay, ambos programados a puerta cerrada.

El Ministro de VROMI ha respondido a las preguntas de los peticionarios, y el parlamento, a travs del comit de peticiones, ahora tiene que decidir sobre los prximos pasos, explic la parlamentaria.

Sobre el tema del Comit de Investigacin del Parlamento de Mullet Bay, cabe sealar que este comit, establecido en 2019, haba estimado 8 meses para lograr lo que se haba propuesto hacer, a saber, Devolver Mullet Bay a la gente Read more

La Parlamentaria Sarah Wescot-Williams Critica El Presupuesto De 2022 Y La Negativa Del Gobierno A Eliminar El Recorte Del 12,5 % En Los Beneficios De Las Entidades (Semi)Pblicas.

No puedo creer que en realidad escuch que aplaudan al Ministro.

PHILIPSBURG, Sint Maarten – El Ministro de Finanzas y los miembros de su coalicin en el parlamento deben haber respirado aliviados, cuando el martes por la noche se derrib el mazo sobre el presupuesto enmendado 2022, segn la opinin de la parlamentaria Wescot.

Afortunadamente para la coalicin, pudieron reunir en el ltimo momento, el mnimo de miembros necesarios para aprobar la ley de presupuesto. Afortunadamente, porque al da siguiente, al menos 2 miembros de la coalicin estaban programados para viajar por cuenta del parlamento.

Y para probar su punto de que los ministros del gobierno no tienen respeto por el parlamento o el pueblo, la parlamentaria agreg: el nico ministro que se present a estas discusiones presupuestarias fue el propio Ministro de Finanzas, y las respuestas con respecto a los otros ministerios fueron nada menos que una broma.

En una referencia obvia a la negativa del presidente del parlamento a actuar de manera imparcial, la parlamentaria no escatim palabras cuando afirm que las reuniones sobre el proyecto de presupuesto 2022 no fueron ms que drama en su mayor parte, drama del que Me negu a ser parte de eventualmente, an sabiendo que sin la oposicin y sin pasar lista, el presupuesto sera aprobado ‘por unanimidad’.

Mejor eso que ser un participante activo en lo que solo puede ser etiquetado como un espectculo de circo.

La parlamentaria se refiri al proyecto de ley que modifica la ordenanza de ingresos mximos (top income ley) que el gobierno propuso al parlamento, como cuando, en su opinin, comenz el circo.

Con todo eso, el gobierno sigue chapuceando los recortes en los beneficios salariales de las entidades (semi)pblicas.

La parlamentaria Wescot haba propuesto una enmienda para eliminar estos recortes salariales de la ley que regula los ingresos ms altos, que desafortunadamente no pudo reunir suficiente apoyo para ser aprobada.

Qu irnico, que en una ley que asegura que los ingresos ms altos del sector (semi)pblico no superen el plus salarial del PM, se mantengan los recortes salariales del 12,5%, etc Read more
