THE HAGUE - Delegations from the Parliaments of Curaçao, Aruba, and Sint Maarten will be in the Netherlands next week to speak with members of the Second Chamber Committee on Kingdom Relations about the situation in neighboring Venezuela.

The parliamentarians meet on 17 April. Incidentally, only one hour has been scheduled for the meeting that remarkably will take place behind closed doors. No publicity has yet been given to the trip on Curaçao and Aruba, but in Sint Maarten, this was the case.

The delegation from Philipsburg, five strong members of parliament, headed by chairman Sarah Wescott-Williams, will be from 13 to 21 April in the Netherlands. According to the Daily Herald, the main objective is to reinforce the objections to the draft Kingdom Law Disputes Act. That seems to be a sunless mission: the Second Chamber knows the objections and moreover waits for the answer to questions put to the Council of State before the political groups individually adopt a position.
