WILLEMSTAD – The political party Movementu Kousa Promé is inviting the people of Curaçao to a protest gathering on Monday, December 8, where affected citizens and experts will speak about what the party calls the government’s “dismissive and disrespectful” approach to governance.
According to the party, foreigners and wealthy investors are increasingly being prioritized when it comes to permits, land allocations, beaches, and coastal areas, while local residents are served last. Movementu Kousa Promé says the urgency of the situation has grown following the government’s handling of Eric’s Adventure Tours, owned by Eric Raphaela.
In a press release, the party calls on the public to attend and listen to concerns surrounding business permits, the sale of land, and access to Curaçao’s beaches and coastal zones. The event aims to provide a platform for sharing ideas and forming a collective stance, “because the current state of affairs is no longer acceptable,” the party stated.
Citizens who have had negative experiences with government procedures will be present to share their stories and provide information. The gathering will be held at the Santa Maria community center from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and admission is free.
