El Parlamentario Suspendido Claudius Buncamper Arroja Luz Sobre El Artculo 50 Sub 2B De La Constitucin

PHILIPSBURG, Sint Maarten – El 3 de junio de 2022, present un anlisis convincente y detallado al Parlamento de Sint Maarten identificando cmo el artculo 50 sub 2b de nuestra Constitucin ha demostrado ser una violacin de los Tratados Internacionales y especficamente de los Derechos Humanos de orden superior, a los que Sint Maarten est atado.

Estos tratados internacionales y derechos humanos como tales superan el artculo 50 sub 2b de la Constitucin de Sint Maarten en la jerarqua legal y hacen que la aplicacin del artculo 50 sub 2b de la Constitucin de Sint Maarten sea discutible, bajo las circunstancias dadas.

El artculo 50 inciso 2b de nuestra Constitucin regula la suspensin de los diputados, que no hayan sido condenados irrevocablemente y como tales definitivamente por determinados delitos.

Salvaguardar los derechos y obligaciones otorgados a los pases obligados por tratados es responsabilidad del Parlamento de Sint Maarten como rgano legislativo de este pas, encargado de crear y modificar las leyes de esta nacin Read more

PHILIPSBURG:--- Members of the Party for Progress were left with their mouths hanging on Wednesday when they tried to dupe parliament into adding an agenda point to the urgent meeting of parliament called to debate the constitution of St. Maarten in order to bring back suspended Member of Parliament Claudius Buncamper.
PFP MP Raeyhon Peterson asked that the chair of parliament add an agenda point to the meeting on Wednesday on the confidence of parliament in the Minister of VROMI Egbert Jurendy Doran.
The urgent meeting of Parliament was called during the recess which commenced with 9 members present, including MP Rolando Brison and MP Hyacinth Richardson.

Our Budget, Our Reality.

PHILIPSBURG:--- When 2022 was brought in with many fireworks and festive activities all around the island I wondered if this would be the year of recovery or if this would be another year of drama for the country. Will we allow our future to determine our present decisions and actions, or must our present time take precedence at the expense of our future? Based on our experience it would seem as though we as a country are incapable of creating a situation in which we do not suffer at present while actively enhancing the prospective future.

I believe some good news thus far for the Caribbean islands was the departure of State Secretary Raymond Knops whose own party told him there was no place for him in the new government moving forward Read more
