Willemstad, Curacao. Curacao got to know another era of history in shame in its higher government institutions.
INTRODUCTION: SHORT HISTORY - CURACAO PARLIAMENT
The Governance of Curacao is reflective of Parliamentary democracy, wherein; The Legislative Branch (LB); is called the Staten van Curacao (in Dutch) aka Curacao Parliament (CUPA).
CUPA is a unicameral with 21 representative seats against 1 constituency of 444 km^2 in size, and a populous of 158,665 (2019). The members are directly elected by proportional representation vote to serve a 4-year term.
In 2010 with the dissolution of the The Netherlands Antilles, Curacao; along with 2 other Dutch Caribbean islands became autonomous countries and a constituent equal partner in the Kingdom of The Netherlands.
The members of the first CUPA were composed of the members of the Island Council elected on 27th of August 2010. Ivar Asjes (Political Party PS aka Sovereign People) became the first President of Parliament with Amerigo Thode (MFK) as the Vice-President.
