WILLEMSTAD - Steven Martina's position as MAN's political leader is under attack. More members wonder if Martina can stay on as a political leader. The issue surrounding the daughter of former finance minister and party star Kenneth Gijsbertha is becoming a serious problem for him.
Martina would have signed the lucrative contract for Vanessa Gijsbertha in the run-up to the 2021 elections. He denied in the media that he was aware of the contract. This is not the first time Martina has made a mistake. The former minister was previously criticized for a possible conflict of interest. The MAN led a defeat in the last elections. The party went from five to two seats.
