Dear Reader

There seems to some kind of behind-the-scenes coordinated effort to make out former VROMI-minister Christophe Emmanuel to be some kind of ' sinister minister'.

Here at StMaartenNews.com we often receive information, documents and other material with the intention to expose certain irregularities, for instance in government or government-related entities, institutions or corporations.

Ofcourse, the validity of these documents have to be checked and the provider of these documents have to be a credible source as well.

However, sometimes we have to ask ourselves what agenda is being served here.

Quite recently we were provided with information - that when viewed as is - painted a certain picture, but when we double-checked the 'facts' as provided, we find that certain information is left out or not provided. Is this on purpose? Or is this a matter of an overzealous 'whistleblower' who wants to 'buss the pot' as is often excitedly claimed here on St. Maarten when it comes to these so-called exposures?

So what is really going on here? We think there is more to this story...

We will invite former minister of VROMI, Christophe Emmanuel to tell his side of the story, from all the events after hurricane Irma up until just prior to elections with the results after the elections painting a different picture than was expected.

In the meantime, do keep on sharing information, documents, news, views, pictures and images with us. See our email address below.
