WILLEMSTAD - Member of Parliament Michelangelo Martines admitted that he has used an invalid QR code. Martines showed a QR code from the Dominican Republic at a bachata party at the World Trade Center (WTC).
The codes from the Dominican Republic are not valid in Curaçao and are not recognized by the European Digital Corona Certificate (EU DCC). Nevertheless, the Member of Parliament was allowed to enter to the party. According to Martines, parliamentarians should receive a special badge that allows them to access events.
He would not say whether he was vaccinated. “I consider that private,” he says. According to Martines, there were several Dominican artists at the party and he wonders how they got in with an invalid QR code. According to sources, there is a good chance that the other guests have used the mandatory corona test.
