WILLEMSTAD - The sudden resignation of three ministers from the PNP on Wednesday afternoon has caused a significant disruption in the parliamentary schedule. The resignations have led to the immediate cancellation of several key meetings.
The meeting scheduled for today, which was set to address the rise in tourist robberies, has been called off. This session was planned to include the Ministers of Justice and Economic Development. Following the resignation of the latter, the meeting could not proceed. In addition, a meeting planned for Friday to discuss cooperatives has also been canceled. This session was expected to involve both the Minister of Economic Development and the Minister of Finance, who also resigned.
Both of these meetings had been previously suspended and were rescheduled for this parliamentary session. Furthermore, several meetings for the upcoming week have already been canceled by parliament. The process of appointing replacements for the resigned ministers is still unclear, as is the timeline for these appointments. The ongoing uncertainty is likely to affect parliamentary proceedings and decisions in the near future.
