More information is coming to light about our government. They have submitted a fictitious budget and want to complain about the Netherlands. It is obvious that there is a huge difference of opinion between the government of Aruba and the Netherlands. Our government now wants to play the role of victim and wants us to believe that they are not the Netherlands, a bad partner in the Kingdom, but our people know that they are not better than the Netherlands either.
Why do you want to talk about a budget with a surplus while the party goes on and adds more debt? This year alone the government has borrowed more than 413 million florins. The first loan was for 165 million florins and the amount that Aruba will pay will be 96.5 million florins of interest.
The second loan is for 160 million florins and the amount that Aruba will pay interest is 135 million florins due to the repayment period. The third loan is for 88 million florins which will cost Aruba an interest of 45.7 million florins.
We are talking about a total of 277 million florins in interest. Long live the MEP Party! In addition, a person will be charged an interest of 0.625% which will amount to 2.6 million florins and also 5 million florins will be given to administration costs.
The MEP Party is working hard, but not for the people interest, but for their own interest. People will draw their own conclusions. The government of MEP party prefers to let our elderly starve, pay for their medicines, pay for expensive gasoline and higher than other islands of the Dutch Caribbean, take out dividends and not worry that people have to pay a high price for water and electricity, not worry about the unemployed and let our children stay without school because school fees are unaffordable. Lett the purification plant in Bubali continue to send waste water into the sea, but just continue to party, travel and race in luxury cars that they themselves cannot afford. This is the communist government we have.
We of the CURPA Party believe that God took away his pyjama and that he has the whip in his hand. The government has abused the people with the measure and it is time for the government to reap what it has sown. Government’s Titanic has sunk and now those who can, should see how they survive. The government’s bingo card was wet. The only alternative is the CURPA party.
