The discussion of the National Ordnance Aruba Temporary Financial Supervision (LAFT) and Kingdom Law Aruba Financial Supervision (RAFT) is a discussion that is currently taking place in the community. Around these two laws there is a lot of politics being played out, both in the Netherlands and in Aruba.
However, the Netherlands is playing politics with the goal of getting Aruba back under its control and in Aruba politicians who do not take these messages seriously sent from the Netherlands are playing cheap politics either for them to be popular or they do not love this country, but their own pocket. In the end all the political games that are played with the manipulation of not bringing the truth and the reality forward are confusing a community for his own ego and in the end the consequences we will all live in where Aruba loses and the Aruban race will lose its own country.
Finance Minister Xiomara Maduro in an interview indicates that she regrets what state secretary Alexandra Van Huffelen has said, that Aruba has a proposal with the Netherlands, however there were three proposals on the table with the Netherlands. Van Huffelen’s statement caused a lot of turmoil in Aruba where the statement was interpreted in Aruba as Prime Minister Evelyn Wever Croes lying. This situation is regretful and even more, we as Arubian do not stand behind ourselves as Arubian for the achievements and hard work that is done for Aruba, but listen to a stranger and support the stranger above us as Arubian who fights for ourselves and future generations who are on the way and who live on this piece of rock.
Regardless of the consequences, at the moment the Dutch receive the support above of supporting our own people, in our country. We want to believe the one that speaks Dutch and belittle the Aruban professional who is from your own country and who speaks your language and who makes the Dutch stand still when they think they want to come and rule in our house. For finance minister Xiomara Maduro Aruba’s thinking is very wrong.
It’s incredible to think and believe that our own Arubians are downplaying the great work that Prime Minister Evelyn Wever Croes did. You might tell her bad or good things, but the Prime Minister Evelyn Wever Croes managed Aruba in the biggest pandemic that exists in the world and took care to stand up for the people of Aruba, take big decisions for Aruba where we are today as we can be today in Aruba in these moments when our economy has come back. In such cases, a lot of pressure came from all sides and still is. We as Arubians should look at these achievements, know the truth and pause for a moment and ask ourselves if in the given case, the decisions that have been made differently today we are as good as citizens living in Aruba.
