Dear Reader
So we are now recording news clips for StMaartenNews.com. We used the opportunity Nomination Day offered us on Friday, January 5th, to record interviews with the various party leaders. We hope you find our short news clips newsworthy and informative.
You can tell the snap elections in St. Maarten is drawing international attention when multi-millionaire and philanthropist, Jacob Gelt Dekker, takes Theo Heyliger to task in his most recent
column entitled '
Independence' wherein he also issues a challenge to politicians on St. Maarten about how to obtain true independence.
Click here to read his column.
All this publisher can say is that all the parties have their work cut out for them. Because our snap poll on Saturday recorded a whopping 83% of the 18 respondents indicating that they will not be endorsing a party today. Hence our
video support for the SMCP in their
plea for people to come out today and endorse their party.
Any party for that matter, is our opinion because despite the fact that people have other issues and problems on their minds, our well-fought and hard-earned democratic right is still of the utmost importance in our society and it is our duty to the next generation to give a party or parties the mandate to do what is right for our island, else we will all be wearing
facemasks, not just when we visit the SXM Airport like the
visiting Dutch Chambers presidents, but on the whole island, especially when visiting the
communities around the dump, as the
Nature Foundation points out in their
press release about the landfill.
We do not believe the voter sentiment is that low. So let's see what the actual turnout will be like today. StMaartenNews.com will be on hand to make video recordings of the occasion for our next edition.
The Publisher,
