Willemstad, Curacao. Curacao Prime Minister: Mr. Gilmar Pisas (MFK political party) sent a letter to Netherlands State Secretary for Kingdom Relations and Digitization: Mrs. Alexandra van Huffelen, to express that he feels the necessity to call upon a Kingdom Conference/meeting to address different points regarding, the COHO, consensus Kingdom Act (Caribbean Body for Reform and Development).
AUTONOMY
He brought some "bottlenecks" forward base on the COHO, on how it was treated in Curacao Parliament and in the community. Pisas also expressed that Curacao Parliament started a consultant process (March 24th) where some law experts were invited to give the point of view regarding the Kingdom Consensus Law proposal (COHO).
He also expressed that base on the social debate and what has happened in Parliament, the Curacao Government (MFK and PNP political party) think that in the COHO law proposal, there are important groups in the society like Parliament, who may think that the COHO law proposal is 'undermining autonomy' for Curacao and its self governance, or it is not beneficial for Curacao or the other autonomous countries within the Kingdom to accept COHO. The countries of the Kingdom are Aruba, St Maarten, Curacao and the Netherlands. They work independently on some issues and work together on others (Kingdom affairs).
PARLIAMENT MOTION
In a motion (September 1st 2020), Curacao Parliament, decided to not introduce other consensus law (from the once already existing since 2010). There is a fear that with new consensus law, Parliament will be stepped upon to still introduce the consensus law, overlooking the 2020 parliament motion. Apparently COHO would obligate the Kingdom countries to give account only to the Kingdom Council of Ministers (Rijksministerraad). It appears that COHO does not count with a majority in Parliament to become law.
