WILLEMSTAD - Vice Prime minister Hensley Koeiman just announced at the press conference that Curaçao accepts emergency support and the accompanying conditions from the Netherlands. According to Koeiman, “there is no other choice”. It is an interest-free loan. In the coming week, the government will start with reforms for which the Netherlands has again set a deadline.
Justice Minister Girigorie, currently in charge of general affairs, added that the coronavirus has caused major problems. One had to choose between human lives and the economy. “That is why we also agreed with financial help from the Netherlands.” He emphasizes that it does hurt. According to Girigorie, the Netherlands has a dominant position and is abusing it.
