PPP seeks answers on Bonaire delegation’s Netherlands visit

Partido Pueblo Progresivo leader James Finies is calling for details on what an official delegation travelling to the Netherlands will deliver for Bonaire, according to the party. PPP said Commissioner Dennis Martinus had announced the visit in the media.

PPP said it wants the delegation to secure commitments on poverty, electricity costs, food prices, housing and opportunities for Bonaire residents. The party also called for a public account after the delegation returns, setting out the commitments made, who will carry them out and when results are expected.

According to PPP, Bonaire’s government and political representatives have attended VNG congresses in the Netherlands for more than 10 years. The party said delegations should pursue clear priorities and explain how any commitments will benefit residents.

PPP said affordable energy, food prices, housing and support for Bonairian students studying in the Netherlands should be among the issues addressed.
