THE HAGUE - National ombudsman Reinier van Zuthpen has asked the House of Representatives Committee for Kingdom Relations for an interview.

That happens from time to time, because Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba belong to his working area. This time, however, he also wants to talk about what he calls "the refugee crisis," the influx of Venezuelan migrants that have outgrown the authorities on Curacao and Aruba. In a hearing organized by the Senate in December, Van Zutphen expressed its opinion that the Netherlands is obliged to lend a helping hand to its stand.

The spokesman for the National Ombudsman does not want to explain the request for a meeting with the members of the House of Representatives. “We have nothing to say about this, not even an approach. It is not even known when that conversation will take place. That could take quite a while. "

Van Zutphen, according to the letter sent to the Chamber Committee, also wants to talk about "educational problems of Aruban students".
