WILLEMSTAD - Curaçao does not have enough money to cover all the expenses that are now needed to keep the ministries running and pay social assistance benefits. So says Javier Silvania, Minister of Finance.
He makes an urgent appeal to Parliament to approve legislation on salary cuts for ministers and members of parliament today. The Netherlands would then step in with new liquidity support.
According to Silvania, Curaçao must ratify the agreements with the Netherlands made by the Rhuggenaath cabinet as soon as possible. The support from the Netherlands amounts to 75 million guilders
